SABMiller, the world's No. 2 brewer and Anheuser-Busch InBev rival, raised its forecast on Tuesday for beer volume growth in its biggest region, Latin America, due to price cuts and a strengthening economic recovery.
The London-based brewer of Grolsch, Peroni and Miller Lite, which is bidding for Australian group Foster's, said regional beer volume in April-June was up around 6 percent while its key Colombian market had seen 10-percent plus volume growth in June.
