ASAHI Group Holdings Ltd is considering making an offer for SABMiller Plc's Peroni and Grolsch brands in Europe, among other deals, as the largest Japanese beermaker seeks overseas growth amid a stagnating domestic market.
The European beer brands named in recent media reports are among the targets Asahi is considering for capital tie-ups, Asahi said in a statement on Tuesday, without naming the targets. The brewer of Asahi Super Dry plans to make an offer for Peroni and Grolsch in a transaction that may be valued at as much as 400 billion yen (S$4.9 billion), Yomiuri Shimbun reported on Saturday, without citing anyone.
