GG: Diageo is also huge. SAB was smart about one thing. They started acquiring local firms all over.
In Kenya, SAB had to introduce new brands. Mostly a failure. Kenyans don't even change dirty, stinky politicians... how will they change their beer?
In other markets they bought local firms with local brands.
In USA they bought Miller, hence the SABMiller.
Same in China.
In Zimbabwe, they own a chunk of Delta.
In Ghana, they own Accra Breweries.
In Zambia, they own Zambia Breweries & National Breweries.
in Tanzania, they own Tanzania Breweries.
The key feature is that these 'local' breweries come with established LOCAL brands. Also they keep the name of the country/city/local e.g. Zambia, Tanzania, Accra instead of SAB...
Wazuarians/SKerians in USA... Do you get castle or any other SAB brands?
