Added to project[edit]

I wonder if this article was plagiarized... --Sean κ. ⇔ 23:37, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)

It very well could have been. Look at the changes between these two versions here made by 66.189.89.87. He never responded to a request for citations when asked on his talk page. --BaronLarf 16:32, Apr 19, 2005 (UTC)
Well, a quick search on Google shows that the only page that comes close to being a copy actually took the material from us. Still, I suspect that this may have been taken from a print article. I'm at a loss for what to do at the moment. —Sean κ. ⇔ 16:56, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
I am the author of most of the content in this article. I am a professional writer and I wrote this as part of a research project that was never published. As such, I decided to donate it to Wikipedia. Dtaw2001 18:52, 26 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]


Differentiate between South African Breweries and SABMiller[edit]

Has the time not come to rewrite this article and clarify the distinction between the parent company and the Hub/subsidiary. Much has changed since the early days of expansion, and as although there is still much loyalty to the origins of SABMiller, SAB is now but a cog in a much bigger machine.
The corporate function now operates out of London, and if anything this article confuses this fact by making it sound like the centre is still in Johannesburg. Andbrew.downes (talk) 20:28, 20 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Metal crown???[edit]

I had to figure out what a 'metal crown' was; FYI, in US, we call those 'bottle caps'! You might want to add 'bottle caps' in parenthesis. 71.139.160.146 (talk) 14:37, 2 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Does this company even exist since SABMiller was sold?[edit]

I know that SABMiller no longer exists, but does SAB?

In October 2015, Anheuser-Busch InBev announced plans to acquire SABMiller for £69 billion (US $107 billion at the time the deal closed a year later).[1] The arrangement had been approved by shareholders of both companies on 28 September 2016, and the deal closed on 10 October 2016.[2][3] The acquisition - subsequently referred to as a merger in the news media - ended the corporate use of the name SABMiller. The new company is called Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV, (AB InBev) and is trading on the Brussels Stock Exchange as ABI.BR and as BUD on the New York stock exchange.[4] [5] SABMiller ceased trading on global stock markets and divested itself of its interests in the MillerCoors beer company to Molson Coors.[6][7] After acquiring SABMiller, Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV agreed on December 21, 2016 to sell the former SABMiller Ltd. business in Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary and Romania to Asahi Breweries Group Holdings, Ltd. for US$7.8 billion. The deal includes popular brands such as Pilsner Urquell, Tyskie, Lech, Dreher and Ursus.[8][9] Peter K Burian (talk) 19:20, 2 February 2017 (UTC) [reply]

The company was formerly known as South African Breweries plc and changed its name to SABMiller plc in July 2002. SABMiller plc was founded in 1895 and is headquartered in London, the United Kingdom. As of October 10, 2016, SABMiller Limited operates as a subsidiary of Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV.
