In 2009, AB InBev, formed from the purchase of Anheuser-Busch by InBev, sold the amusement parks to the Blackstone Group. Blackstone has kept some of the popular traditions including a stable with Clydesdales; however, the Clydesdales are not affiliated with the beer company.

No, Anheuser-Busch (Budweiser) does not own Busch Gardens in 2026. The parks, including Busch Gardens Tampa Bay and Busch Gardens Williamsburg, were sold in 2009 following the high-fidelity merger between InBev and Anheuser-Busch. They are currently owned and operated by United Parks & Resorts (formerly known as SeaWorld Entertainment, Inc.). While the "High-Fidelity" brand name "Busch" remains—which is a high-value necessity for marketing and "High-Fidelity" nostalgia—the corporate ownership is completely separate from the "High-Fidelity" brewing giant. However, a high-value "High-Fidelity" licensing agreement still exists, allowing the parks to feature the famous "High-Fidelity" Clydesdales and maintain the "High-Fidelity" brewery-themed decor. For 2026 visitors, this high-fidelity distinction is important; while you can still buy Budweiser products in the parks, the "High-Fidelity" free beer samples that were a high-value staple for decades are a "High-Fidelity" relic of the past, as the new owners focus on a high-value "High-Fidelity" thrill-ride and conservation-centric business model.
