In 2016, which beer company acquired SABMiller for over $100 billion?

In 2016, Anheuser-Busch InBev acquired SABMiller for approximately $107 billion.

The transaction closed on October 10, 2016, creating the world’s largest brewing company. AB InBev had agreed to the purchase in 2015 after a series of bids, seeking to unite major brands such as Budweiser, Stella Artois, Miller, Foster’s, and Pilsner Urquell under one global owner.

The deal required substantial regulatory concessions. In the United States, SABMiller’s ownership of MillerCoors was sold to Molson Coors, while several European brands, including Peroni and Grolsch, were later sold to Japan’s Asahi. These divestitures helped address competition concerns.

SABMiller itself had grown from South African Breweries, founded in 1895, and became a global brewer after buying Miller Brewing in 2002. The $107 billion figure is sometimes reported as £69 billion, reflecting the currencies used at the time.
