13 Dec 2016 --- Anheuser-Busch InBev is to sell a number of Eastern European beer brands to Japan’s Asahi Group Holdings for €7.3 billion ($7.8bn), as it looks to ease completion concerns over its $100bn takeover of SABMiller. The brands being offloaded by the Budweiser maker are its businesses previously owned by SABMiller in the Czech Republic, Slovak Republic, Poland, Hungary and Romania and include flagship Czech brand Pilsner Urquell, another Czech brand Kozel, and the Hungarian brand Dreier.
