AB Inbev set to sell Peroni

(ANSA) - New York, November 30 - Anheuser-Busch InBev is planning to sell SABMiller's Italian beermaker Peroni, as well as Grolsh, to get an EU OK for the merger, the Wall Street Journal said Monday. Last month British brewer SABMiller said it had agreed "in principle" to a takeover by its bigger Belgian rival Anheuser-Busch InBev, whose makes include Budweiser and Beck's, for 68 billion pounds (104 billion dollars). If completed, the merger will result in a company that will produce one third of the beer consumed each day worldwide.
