ST. LOUIS AP – A former Anheuser-Busch executive who was the company’s top-ranking woman has sued the brewer claiming it encourages a “frat party” atmosphere and pays women less in salary and bonuses than men.

Francine Katz, former vice president of communications and consumer affairs for the maker of Budweiser, Bud Light and other beers, filed the lawsuit Monday in state court in St. Louis.
