ITEM 1.  SECURITY AND ISSUER

         This Statement on Schedule 13D relates to shares of Common Stock, no
par value per share (the "Shares"), of the Issuer. The address of the principal
executive offices of the Issuer is Bandera 84, Sixth Floor, Santiago, Chile.

ITEM 2.  IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND

         (a) - (c) and (f). This Statement is being filed by Anheuser-Busch
Companies, Inc. ("ABC"), Anheuser-Busch International, Inc. ("ABII") and
Anheuser-Busch International Holdings, Inc. ("ABIH", and together with ABC and
ABII, the "Reporting Persons"). Each of the Reporting Persons is organized as a

ABIH has its principal business address at c/o Registered Agents, Ltd., 1220 N.

Shares; ABII is an indirect beneficial owner of such Shares because it controls
ABIH as its 100% owner and ABC is an indirect beneficial owner of such Shares

         The names, business addresses, principal occupations and citizenship of
the directors and executive officers of each of the Reporting Persons are set
forth in Annex A hereto and are incorporated herein by reference.

         (d) and (e). During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons
and, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, none of the executive
officers or directors of the Reporting Persons has (i) been convicted in a
criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and similar misdemeanors) or
(ii) been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of
competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a
judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting
or mandating activities subject to, Federal or state securities laws or finding
any violation with respect to such laws.

ITEM 3.  SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION

         On December 28, 2000, the Reporting Persons, through their financial
advisor, UBS Warburg LLC, agreed with Compania de Petroleos de Chile S.A., a
public corporation organized and existing under the laws of Chile ("Copec"), to
purchase Shares representing approximately 7.5% of the total issued and
outstanding Shares (including the Shares represented by American Depositary
Shares, the "Total Equity") from Copec or its affiliates on the terms and
conditions described in a letter agreement dated December 28, 2000, between UBS
Warburg LLC, as financial advisor to the Reporting Persons, and Copec (the
"Letter Agreement"). A form of the Letter Agreement is attached hereto as
Exhibit 1.

CUSIP NO.                         13D                        PAGE 6 OF 19 PAGES
204429104


The terms of the Letter Agreement are incorporated herein by this reference.
Subsequent to entering into the Letter Agreement, ABIH, Copec and Compania de
Inversiones Mobiliarias Limitada, a limited liability company organized and
existing under the laws of the Republic of Chile and a subsidiary of Copec
("Cimol") entered into a Promissory Purchase Agreement dated as of January 3,
2001 relating to the acquisition by ABIH of 23,887,716 Shares (representing
approximately 7.5% of the Total Equity) from Cimol (the "Promissory Agreement").
A form of Promissory Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 2. The terms of the
Promissory Agreement are incorporated herein by this reference.

         In addition to the Shares to be purchased from Cimol, 24,805,929 Shares
have been purchased in open market transactions on the Santiago Stock Exchange
(including 20,700,000 in an open market auction) and American Depositary Shares
representing 3,045,500 Shares have been purchased in open market transaction on
the New York Stock Exchange, as described in Item 5(c).

         The aggregate purchase price for the Shares purchased from Cimol is
approximately $119,400,000. The aggregate purchase price for the Shares
purchased from parties other than Cimol (including commissions) is approximately
$141,100,000. All of the approximately $260,500,000 of funds used or to be used
to purchase the Shares reported in this statement will come from the available
resources of the Reporting Persons and from no specific borrowings.

         The Letter Agreement and the Promissory Agreement are incorporated by
reference in this statement under various items, including this Item 3, and any
descriptions thereof contained in this statement are qualified in their entirety
by reference to such Agreements.

ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

         Prior to its entering into the Letter Agreement, the Promissory
Agreement or acquiring any interest in any of the Shares, the Reporting Persons
had been considering for some time various ways of making a direct or indirect
significant investment in the Issuer as part of its strategy to expand its
operations in the South American region. ABIH has been a minority shareholder in
(owning shares representing approximately 11% of the equity of) the Argentinean
beer subsidiary of the Issuer for over five years. As a result of its
relationship with this Argentinean subsidiary of the Issuer, the Reporting
Persons have developed confidence in the management capabilities of the Issuer
and have actively searched for ways to expand the relationship of the Reporting
Persons with the Issuer. The acquisition of the Shares provides the Reporting
Persons with such an opportunity.

         The Reporting Persons will continue to evaluate their ownership of
Shares and the Issuer's business and industry. In order to do so, the Reporting
Persons anticipate that they may have discussions with other parties, including,
without limitation, other shareholders of the Issuer, relating to, among other
things, the Issuer and the business and prospects of the Issuer. Depending on
market conditions and other factors that the Reporting Persons (or their
affiliates) may deem material to their investment decisions, the Reporting
Persons (or their affiliates) may from time to time seek to acquire or acquire,
directly or indirectly, additional Shares, through open market purchases,
privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, upon such terms and at such
prices as such persons may determine. Furthermore, while the Reporting Persons
have no present intention of doing so, they (and their affiliates) reserve the
right to dispose of any or all direct or indirect interest in Shares acquired by
them. In addition, the Reporting Persons intend to explore

with the Issuer the possible election of representatives or designees of ABIH to
the Issuer's Board, in light of the number of Shares owned by ABIH.

         In the Promissory Agreement, ABIH has agreed to acquire Shares from
Cimol at a higher purchase price than it could have otherwise in light of
Copec's and/or Cimol's assistance to ABIH in acquiring Shares in addition to the
23,887,716 Shares ABIH has agreed to acquire from Cimol. A similar agreement was
made by ABIH in the Letter Agreement. The terms of the Promissory Agreement and
the Letter Agreement are incorporated herein by this reference.

         ABIH  is considering converting the American Depositary Shares it has
purchased into the Shares represented thereby.

         Except as otherwise set forth in this Item 4, none of the Reporting
Persons have any present plans or proposals which relate to or would result in
(i) the acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Issuer, or the
disposition of securities of the Issuer; (ii) an extraordinary corporate
transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the
Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (iii) a sale or transfer of a material amount
of assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (iv) any change in the
present Board of Directors or management of the Issuer; (v) any material change
in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer or any material
change in the Issuer's business or corporate structure; (vi) any material
change in the Issuer's charter, by-laws or instruments corresponding thereto or
other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any
person; (vii) any class of securities of the Issuer to be delisted from a
national securities exchange or cease to be authorized to be quoted in an
inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association;
(viii) a class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for
termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Exchange Act of
1934, as amended; or (ix) any action similar to any of those actions set forth
in this paragraph involving the Issuer, the Shares or any other equity security
of the Issuer.

ITEM 5.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

         To the best of the Reporting Persons' knowledge based on the
information contained in the Issuer's Annual Report on Form 20-F for the period
ended December 31, 1999, the aggregate number of outstanding Shares (including
Shares represented by American Depositary Shares) is 318,502,872.

         (a) ABIH beneficially owns 51,739,145 Shares, which includes (i)
