Top beer companies looking to merge

The Hill:

The world’s two largest beermakers are considering a merger that could trigger antitrust investigations across the globe.

 

Anheuser-Busch InBev NV, the maker of Budweiser and Bud Light, announced Wednesday it is looking to take over rival SABMiller. Together, the two companies produce about 30 percent of the world’s beer and control 70 percent of the U.S. market, according to reports.

 

London-based SABMiller is the second largest beermaker in the world, behind only the Belgium-based Anheuser-Busch. It brews more than 200 beers, including Miller and Coors.
