    ASAHI Group Holdings of Japan has made a binding offer to buy the beer brands Peroni and Grolsch, as well as certain European operations of SABMiller, for 2.55 billion euros (S$3.93 billion).

    The deal, if consummated, would be the latest effort by Anheuser-Busch InBev to sell some parts of SABMiller as it seeks to persuade regulators to approve their nearly US$103 billion merger.
