                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANT


To the Participants and Administrator
of the Anheuser-Busch Deferred Income
Stock Purchase and Savings Plan (For Certain Hourly
Employees of Anheuser-Busch Companies, Inc. and its
Subsidiaries)



In our opinion, the accompanying statement of net assets available for
benefits and the related statement of changes in net assets available for
benefits present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available
for benefits of the Anheuser-Busch Deferred Income Stock Purchase and Savings
Plan (For Certain Hourly Employees of Anheuser-Busch Companies, Inc. and its
Subsidiaries), at March 31, 2000 and 1999, and the changes in net assets
available for benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.  These
financial statements are the responsibility of the plan's management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audits.  We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance
with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States, which
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts
and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

1.    DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

      GENERAL
      The Anheuser-Busch Deferred Income Stock Purchase and Savings Plan (For
      Certain Hourly Employees of Anheuser-Busch Companies, Inc. and its
      Subsidiaries) (the Plan) was established as a result of an amendment to
      the Anheuser-Busch Deferred Income Stock Purchase and Savings Plan for
      salaried employees which was effective April 1, 1992.  The following is
      intended to provide only a general description of the Plan's provisions.
      Participants should refer to the Plan document for more complete
      information.

      PLAN ADMINISTRATION
      The Plan's named fiduciaries are Anheuser-Busch Companies, Inc. (the
      Company), as Sponsor and Plan Administrator, and Mellon Bank, N.A. as
      the Trustee.  As Sponsor, the Company has the right to amend the Plan,
      designate the Plan's named fiduciaries and exercise all fiduciary
      functions necessary for the operation of the Plan except those which are
      assigned to another named fiduciary by the Plan or the related trust
      agreement.  The Company has appointed an Administrative Committee to
      exercise the authority and responsibility for the general administration
      of the Plan.  The Trustee has the exclusive authority and discretion to
      invest, manage and hold the assets of the trust in accordance with the
      provisions of the Plan and the separate trust agreement.

      Effective April 1, 1994, the Plan was amended to incorporate various
      changes to the Plan, including changes in participants' contribution
      limits, changes in Company matching contributions, the addition of the
      Managed Balanced Fund and Indexed Balanced Fund investment options and
      the decrease in the vesting period from three years to two years.

      PLAN PARTICIPATION
      The Plan covers eligible hourly employees of certain subsidiaries of the
      Company which include: Boardwalk and Baseball, Inc.; Busch Entertainment
      Corporation; Busch Properties of Florida, Inc.; Sea World, Inc.; Sea
      World of Florida, Inc.; and Sea World of Texas, Inc.  Each hourly
      employee (other than employees covered by a collective bargaining
      agreement) of the above subsidiaries is eligible to participate in the
      Plan after completing one year of service, in which 1,000 hours of
      service are completed.  Participation by eligible employees is
      voluntary.

      CONTRIBUTIONS
      A participant may make matched or unmatched contributions.  Both matched
      and unmatched contributions may be before-tax or after-tax.  A
      participant may contribute from 1% to 6% of their base compensation
      through payroll deductions for Before-Tax Matched Contributions and
      After-Tax Matched Contributions.  The sum of these matched contributions
      may not be less than 2% nor more than 6% of the participant's base
      compensation.  In addition, a participant may contribute from 1% to 10%
      of their base compensation through payroll deductions for Before-Tax
      Unmatched Contributions and After-Tax Unmatched Contributions; however,
      the unmatched contribution rates may not exceed 10% of the participant's
      base compensation and are

      subject to other limitations as set forth in the Plan agreement.  In
      addition, the sum of Before-Tax contribution rates must not exceed 16%
      of a participant's base compensation, subject to certain limitations of
      the Internal Revenue Code.  The participant's employer then contributes
      a matching amount determined annually based on the relationship of the
      Company's net income to its payroll for the year most recently ended.
      However, in no event may the participating employer's matching
      contribution be less than 33-1/3% nor more than 100% of the aggregate
      participant contributions.

      The Company may also be required to make a Supplemental Contribution as
      determined by the Administrative Committee in accordance with the Plan
      document.  Supplemental Contributions are payable within 180 days of the
      Plan's year end and are allocated to participants who have account
      balances as of the end of the Plan year.  For the years ended March 31,
      2000 and 1999, a Supplemental Contribution of $817,718 and $209,120 was
      required, respectively.

      Employee contributions vest and become non-forfeitable immediately.
      Company contributions for participants actively employed by the Company
      on or prior to March 31, 1990 vest immediately.  For participants
      subsequently employed, Company contributions vest and become
      non-forfeitable after two years of service.  Company contributions also
      vest upon termination of employment by reason of death, permanent
      disability, entry into military service, layoff exceeding twelve months,
      upon termination of employment for any reason, including retirement,
      after reaching age 60, or in the event of a "change in control" of the
      Company as defined by the Plan.  Forfeitures of nonvested balances
      reduce future employer contributions.  There were $4,101 and $3,349 in
      forfeitures during the years ended March 31, 2000 and 1999,
      respectively.

      INVESTMENTS
      The Trustee maintains an Anheuser-Busch Companies, Inc. Stock Fund, an
      Earthgrains Company Stock Fund, a Short-Term Fixed Income Fund, a
      Medium-Term Fixed Income Fund, an Equity Index Fund, a Managed Balanced
      Fund, and an Index Balanced Fund for the investment of participant and
      employer contributions.  All employer contributions are invested in the
      Company Stock Fund.  At least one-half of each participant's Before-Tax
      Matched Contributions and at least one-half of each participant's
      After-Tax Matched Contributions shall be invested in the Company Stock
      Fund for certain periods of time.  The participant may direct the
      remaining one-half of each type of matched contribution and all of the
      unmatched contributions in increments of 1% into any fund established
      under the Plan.  Earnings are reinvested in the fund to which they
      relate.

      Master Trusts had been established for each of the investment funds
      other than the Company Stock Fund for the investment of the Plan's
      assets and the assets of the stock purchase and savings plans sponsored
      by the Company.  On September 1, 1995, the Master Trusts for each
      investment fund were combined, along with the Company Stock Fund, into a
      single Master Trust.

      DISTRIBUTIONS
      The Plan permits in-service withdrawals and an optional annual class
      year distribution as defined in the Plan document, subject to certain
      restrictions.  Distributions for terminations are comprised of the
      participant's personal contribution portion of their account and the
      part of the Company contribution portion of their account which is
      vested.  Termination and annual class year distributions for whole
      numbers of shares are payable in Company shares, while the value of
      fractional shares and all interests in the other funds are payable in
      cash.  Alternatively, the participant may elect to have non-share
      investments transferred to the Company Stock Fund and distributed
      thereafter in shares with fractional shares distributed in cash.
      In-service distributions other than annual class year distributions are
      payable at the election of the participant in Company shares or in cash.

      PARTICIPANT LOANS
      A participant may borrow from Before-Tax and/or After-Tax vested account
      balances subject to certain conditions.  The minimum loan amount is
      $1,000; the maximum amount is the lesser of $50,000 less the highest
      outstanding loan balance under the Plan during the one-year period
      ending on the day before the loan is made, or 50% of the vested account
      balance.  The interest rate is set quarterly at prime plus one
      percentage point at the end of the preceding quarter.  The term of a
      loan for the purchase of a principal residence may be up to 10 years;
      the term of a loan for any other reason may not exceed 5 years.

      PLAN EXPENSES
      Under the Master Trust agreement with the Trustee, the Company may pay
      all expenses incurred in the administration of the Master Trust,
      including trustee fees, but is not obligated to do so.  Trustee expenses
      not paid by the Company are paid by the Master Trust and proportionately
      allocated to the participating plans.  All other expenses incurred in
      the administration of the Plan are paid by the participating employers.

      PLAN TERMINATION
      The Company anticipates that the Plan will continue without interruption
      but reserves the right to terminate its participation in the Plan
      subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Securities
      Act (ERISA).  Such termination would result in the immediate and full
      vesting of each participant's account balance.  The Trustee would then
      retain the assets until otherwise distributable under the Plan.

2.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
      The Plan's financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of
      accounting.

      The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
      principles generally accepted in the United States, requires management

      date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of additions
      to and deductions from net assets during the reporting period.  Actual
      results could differ from those estimates.

      INVESTMENT VALUATION
      Investments in common stock, U.S. government securities, and corporate
      debt instruments are stated at fair value based on the quoted market
      price at March 31 each year.  Investments in interest bearing cash,
      insurance contracts, and interests in common/collective trusts are
      stated at fair value as determined by the Trustee.  Participant loans
      are valued at cost which approximates fair value.

      Investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest
      rate, market, and credit.  Due to the level of risk associated with
      certain investment securities and the level of uncertainty related to
      changes in the value of investment securities, it is at least reasonably
      possible that changes in risks in the near term could materially affect
      the amounts reported in the Statement of Net Assets Available for
      Benefits.

      SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME
      Investment purchases and sales, and related realized gains or losses,
      are recorded on the trade date.  Interest income is recorded as earned.
      Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.  Net realized and
      unrealized appreciation/depreciation in fair value of investments is
      comprised of the change in market value from the beginning to the end of
      the Plan year for investments retained in the Plan, and realized gains
      and losses on security transactions which represent the difference
      between proceeds and cost.

      ALLOCATION OF ASSETS
      The Plan participates in the Anheuser-Busch Companies, Inc. Defined
      Contribution Master Trust (Master Trust) established for the investments
      of this plan and the other stock purchase and savings plans sponsored by
      the Company.  Units of participation in the Master Trust are allocated
      to participating plans based on the relationship of individual plan
      contributions to the market value of the Master Trust.  Earned income,
      realized and unrealized gains and losses, and administrative expenses
      are retained in the Master Trust and are allocated to participating
      plans by the Trustee, based on units of participation on the transaction
      date.

      DISTRIBUTIONS TO PARTICIPANTS
      Distributions are recorded when paid.

      RECLASSIFICATIONS
      Certain items in the 1999 financial statements have been reclassified to
      conform with the 2000 presentation.

4.    FEDERAL INCOME TAX STATUS

      The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company by
      a letter dated January 30, 1995, that the Plan is designed in accordance
      with applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code.  Therefore, the
      underlying trust of such a Plan is exempt from federal income taxes
      under Section 501 of the Internal Revenue Code.  The Plan has been
      amended since receiving the determination letter.  However, the Plan
      Administrator and the Plan's tax counsel believe that the Plan is
      currently designed and being operated in compliance with the applicable
      requirements of the Internal Revenue Code.  Therefore, no provision for
      income taxes has been included in the Plan's financial statements.
