The beer company, which wants to reduce the beer tax to its pre-1991 level, also lobbied on restrictions on alcohol advertising, trade issues with China and more, according to the form posted online April 21 by the House clerk's office.

St. Louis-based Anheuser-Busch spent more than $3.4 million to lobby last year.

Besides Congress, Anheuser-Busch also lobbied the Federal Trade Commission, and the departments of Agriculture, Interior, Commerce and Treasury.
