As per Anheuser-Busch third quarter 2008 10-Q Form, Page 17:
"Marketing, distribution and administrative expenses were $811 million for the third quarter and $2.3 billion year-to-date, representing a $34 million increase for the quarter and a $111 million increase year-to-date. The changes versus prior year periods are due to higher advertising expenses in China; increased marketing costs for entertainment operations; higher U.S. beer marketing costs year-to-date; higher delivery costs for company-owned beer wholesalerships, including an incremental location versus last year; and increased general and administrative expenses."
