Beer Market acquisition: AB InBev agreed with SABMiller

Anheuser-Busch InBev has agreed to buy its main rival SABMiller for £68 billion ($104 billion), creating a super brewery with sales of $55 billion.

The combined firm will be the world's largest beermaker by far, with nine of the world's top 20 beers by volume.

AB InBev (BUD) will offer most SABMiller (SBMRY) shareholders £44 ($67.59) per share for the maker of Miller Lite, Pilsner Urquell and Peroni, a premium of roughly 50% over the share price before acquisition rumors started flying. (index)
