Historic deal between distributor Southern Glazer’s and AB-InBev

USA | AB-InBev wants to tidy up its red network, its system of 500 nominally independent distributors, separating the good distributors from the bad ones, observers say. To that end, AB-InBev is willing to divest a big asset. On 20 August, the brewer announced it had sold its New York City distribution operation to Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits. Privately-owned Southern Glazer’s is the largest wine and spirits distributor in the US, operating in 47 states with an estimated revenue of USD 26 billion in 2024.
