The world's top beer group Anheuser-Busch InBev on Thursday confirmed it is planning to sell SABMiller's Italian beermaker Peroni, as well as Grolsh and other units, to get an EU OK for the merger between the two beer giants. Last month British brewer SABMiller said it had agreed "in principle" to a takeover by its bigger Belgian rival AB InBev, whose makes include Budweiser and Beck's, for 68 billion pounds ($104 billion). If completed, the merger will result in a company that will produce one third of the beer consumed each day worldwide.
