In an attempt to re-stimulate interest in their beer after the repeal of Prohibition, Budweiser began canning their beer in 1936. This new packaging led to an increase in sales which lasted until the start of [[World War II]] in 1939.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.anheuser-busch.com/s/index.php/our-heritage/history/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120106110755/http://www.anheuser-busch.com/s/index.php/our-heritage/history/|url-status=dead|archive-date=January 6, 2012|title=Official website: Our History|access-date=February 20, 2012}}</ref>

Over the years, Budweiser cans have undergone various design changes in response to market conditions and consumer tastes. Since 1936, 12 major can design changes have occurred, not including the temporary special edition designs.<ref name=bowtie>{{cite web|url=http://www.pwrnewmedia.com/2011/anheuser-busch/bud_design/main.html|title=Budweiser Unveils New "Bowtie" Design|access-date=February 20, 2012|archive-date=February 14, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120214113812/http://www.pwrnewmedia.com/2011/anheuser-busch/bud_design/main.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

Budweiser cans have traditionally displayed patriotic American symbols, such as eagles and the colors red, white, and blue. In 2011, there was a branding redesign that eliminated some of the traditional imagery. The new design was largely in response to a large decline in sales threatening Budweiser's status as America's best-selling beer.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://adage.com/article/news/budweiser-cans-a/229076/|title=Budweiser Cans Get a New Look—the Bow Tie|date=August 3, 2011|access-date=March 2, 2012|archive-date=August 5, 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110805205757/http://adage.com/article/news/budweiser-cans-a/229076/|url-status=live}}</ref> In order to regain the domestic market share that Budweiser had lost, the company tried to update its appearance by giving the can a more contemporary look. The company hoped that the new design will offset the effects that unemployment had on its sales.<ref name="Budweiser Can Redesigned">{{cite web|url=https://abcnews.go.com/Business/wireStory?id=14223187#.T1FyB_USYTA|title=Budweiser Can Redesigned|website=[[ABC News (United States)|ABC News]]|access-date=March 2, 2012}}{{dead link|date=February 2013}}</ref> Although the more modern design was intended for young male Americans, the new design was also part of an attempt to focus on the international market.<ref name=bowtie /> Budweiser began selling its beer in Russia in 2010, and is currently expanding its operations in China.<ref name="Budweiser Can Redesigned"/>
