                      REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANT


To the Participants and Administrator
of the Anheuser-Busch Deferred Income
Stock Purchase and Savings Plan (For
Employees Covered by a Collective
Bargaining Agreement)



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 Employees Covered by a Collective Bargaining Agreement)
(the "Plan") at March 31, 2002 and 2001, 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 of America.
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
of America, 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 our opinion.

PURCHASE AND SAVINGS PLAN
(FOR EMPLOYEES COVERED BY A COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT)

 1.      DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

         GENERAL
         The Anheuser-Busch Deferred Income Stock Purchase and Savings Plan
         (For Employees Covered by a Collective Bargaining Agreement) (the
         Plan) was established as a result of an amendment to the
         Anheuser-Busch Employee Stock Purchase and Savings Plan (the
         Original Plan). The Original Plan was established by
         Anheuser-Busch, Inc., effective April 1, 1976. The Original Plan
         was divided into two separate plans effective January 1, 1985: the
         Deferred Income Stock Purchase and Savings Plan and the Employee
         Stock Purchase and Savings Plan. The Plan is a continuation of the
         Original Plan except that certain additional features were added,
         including provisions for Before-Tax Contributions pursuant to
         Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Upon amendment
         effective March 1, 1986, the Plan was created and limited
         eligibility to employees who are members of collective units and
         whose collective bargaining agreement specifically provides for
         participation of such members. The Plan covers eligible employees
         of Anheuser-Busch Companies, Inc. (the Company) and certain
         subsidiaries of the Company.

         PLAN ADMINISTRATION
         The Plan's named fiduciaries are 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 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.

         The Plan was amended effective June 1, 1989, to add provisions to
         make the Plan a stock bonus plan and to permit the leveraged
         acquisition of Company stock by the Plan. As such, the Plan is
         subject to the requirements of an employee stock ownership plan
         (ESOP) under Section 4975(e)(7) of the Internal Revenue Code. The
         Trustee was specifically empowered to enter into loans, on behalf
         of the Plan, and guaranteed by the Company, to acquire Company
         stock or to repay a prior ESOP loan.

         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 decreasing vesting period from three years
         to two years.

         Effective April 1, 2000, the Plan was amended to incorporate
         various changes to the Plan, including the addition of the
         Small/Mid Cap Stock Index Fund and International Stock Index Fund,
         the renaming of the Equity Index Fund to the Large Cap Stock Index
         Fund, and the acceptance of rollover contributions into the Plan.

         During 2002, the Plan was amended to incorporate various changes to
         the Plan, including, among other things, the election by
         participants, who meet certain requirements, to either receive

         dividends on the allocated shares of Company stock in cash or to
         direct the dividends to be reinvested in Company stock within the
         Plan.

         PLAN PARTICIPATION
         Each employee of a participating employer (other than employees not
         covered by a collective bargaining agreement) of the Company is
         eligible to participate in the Plan after one year of service,
         during which the employee worked 1,000 hours. Participation by
         eligible employees is voluntary.

         CONTRIBUTIONS
         A participant may make matched and unmatched contributions. Both
         matched and unmatched contributions may be before-tax and
         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 1% 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 Matched and
         Unmatched Contributions 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, however,
         contribute an amount in excess of the matching contribution to
         enable the Plan to meet its debt service payments.

         The Company may also be required to make a Supplemental
         Contribution. Supplemental Contributions are made by transferring
         shares of Anheuser-Busch Common Stock from the ESOP and allocating
         the shares to participants who have account balances as of the end
         of the Plan year, or by a cash payment from the Company, and are
         required to be made within 180 days of the Plan's year end. For the
         year ended March 31, 2002, 177,456 shares with a value of
         $9,262,681 were transferred from the ESOP to participant accounts
         on March 29, 2002 for the required Supplemental Contribution. The
         Company made an additional contribution of 351,755 shares with a
         value of $18,361,611 on March 30, 2002 through the transfer of ESOP
         shares to participant accounts. For the year ended March 31, 2001,

         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 in the Plan). Forfeitures of nonvested balances reduce
         future employer contributions. There were $3,880 and $5,237 of
         forfeitures during the years ended March 31, 2002 and 2001,
         respectively.

         INVESTMENTS
         The Trustee maintains an Anheuser-Busch Companies, Inc. Stock Fund,
         a Short-Term Fixed Income Fund, a Medium-Term Fixed Income Fund, a
         Large Cap Stock Index Fund, a Managed Balanced Fund, an Index
         Balanced Fund, a Small/Mid Cap Stock Index Fund, and an
         International Stock Index 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
         both Before-Tax and 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 contributions to be invested in increments of 1% into any
         fund established under the Plan. The participant may direct
         unmatched contributions to be deposited into any fund of the Plan
         in increments of 1%. Earnings are reinvested in the fund to which
         they relate.

         The Anheuser-Busch Companies, Inc. Defined Contribution Master
         Trust (Master Trust) has been established for each of the
         investment funds for the investment of the Plan's assets and the
         assets of the other stock purchase and savings plans sponsored by
         the Company.

         DISTRIBUTIONS
         The Plan permits in-service withdrawals as defined in the Plan
         document, subject to certain restrictions. Distributions for
         terminations are comprised of the participant's personal
         contribution portion and the vested Company contribution portion of
         their account. Distributions for whole numbers of shares held in
         the Company stock fund 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 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. 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 for the life of the loan is set quarterly at prime
         plus one percentage point based on the prime rate 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 are paid by the Plan.

         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 of 1974 (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 of
         America, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
         affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
         disclosure of contingent liabilities at the 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. Certain prior year amounts have been
         reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

         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, interests in common/collective
         trusts, and interests in registered investment companies 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 risk. 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
         Purchases and sales of investments, and related realized gains and
         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 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.

 3.      INTERESTS IN ANHEUSER-BUSCH COMPANIES, INC. DEFINED CONTRIBUTION
         MASTER TRUST

         Effective September 1, 1995 the Company and the Trustee entered
         into a new master trust agreement. In accordance with the
         agreement, the Plan exchanged its investments in: the
         Anheuser-Busch Companies, Inc. Common Stock Fund, the
         Anheuser-Busch Companies, Inc. Short Term Fixed Income Master
         Trust, the Anheuser-Busch Companies, Inc. Medium Term Fixed Income
         Master Trust, the Anheuser-Busch Companies, Inc. Capital Equity
         Index Fund Master Trust, the Anheuser-Busch Companies, Inc. Managed
         Balanced Fund Master Trust, and the Anheuser-Busch Companies, Inc.
         Indexed Balanced Fund Master Trust for units of participation in
         the Anheuser-Busch Companies, Inc. Defined Contribution Master
         Trust. Effective March 26, 1996 the Earthgrains Company Stock Fund
         was added to the Anheuser-Busch Companies, Inc. Defined
         Contribution Master Trust. The Earthgrains Company Stock Fund was
         liquidated on August 10, 2001 as a result of Earthgrains Company
         being purchased by Sara Lee Corporation. Effective December 1, 2000
         the Small/Mid Cap Stock Index Fund and the International Stock
         Index Fund were added to the Anheuser-Busch Companies, Inc. Defined
         Contribution Master Trust. The assets of the Master Trust are held
         by Mellon Bank, N.A.

         At March 31, 2002 and 2001, the Plan's interest in the net assets
         of the Master Trust was approximately 42% and 42%, respectively of
         total Master Trust assets.

         Further financial information for the Anheuser-Busch Companies,
         Inc. Defined Contribution Master Trust as of and for the years
         ended March 31, 2002 and 2001 are included as Appendix A and B.

4.       FEDERAL INCOME TAX STATUS

         The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the
         Company by a letter dated November 29, 2001, that the Plan is
         designed in accordance with applicable sections of the Internal
         Revenue Code subject to the adoption of certain amendments. During
         2002 the Plan has been amended to adopt all such amendments.
         Therefore, the underlying trust of such a Plan is exempt from
         federal income taxes under Section 501 of the Internal Revenue Code
         and no provision for income taxes has been included in the Plan's
         financial statements.

5.       NOTES PAYABLE

         In June 1989, the Plan issued $250 million in guaranteed 8.32% ESOP
         notes (Notes) to a group of insurance companies and other financial
         institutions. In September 1993, the interest rate was reduced to
         8.25% per annum retroactive to January 1, 1993. Interest is payable
         on March 31 and September 30 of each year. Principal is payable in
         annual installments until maturity on March 31, 2004. The Notes are
         guaranteed by Anheuser-Busch Companies, Inc. Proceeds of the Notes
         were used to purchase 45,325,784 shares of Company stock, the
         unallocated portion of which is pledged as collateral for the
         Notes. The shares are maintained in the Anheuser-Busch Companies,
         Inc. Stock Fund and are released and allocated to Plan participants
         based on calculations specified in the Plan document as
         contributions are made to the Plan. During the years ended March
         31, 2002 and 2001, 1,415,934 and 1,453,474 shares were released to
         participants, respectively. At March 31, 2002 and 2001, the Company
         Stock Fund held 3,258,860 and 4,674,794 unallocated shares,
         respectively, at market values of $170,112,692 and $203,801,928,
         respectively.

         Principal maturities for each of the years ending March 31, are as
         follows:

              2003                           $22,000,000
              2004                            23,150,000
                                             -----------

                                             $45,150,000
                                             ===========

         The principle due on March 31, 2002 of $20,950,000 was not paid
         until April 1, 2002, the first business day after March 31, 2002.
         This amount is therefore included as a Plan liability at March 31,
         2002.
