Belgian company
Quick Summary
Interbrew SA was a Belgian company that merged with Brazil's AmBev in 2004 to form InBev, which became the world's largest brewer. Interbrew's origins trace back to the 14th-century Den Hoorn Brewery in Leuven, later renamed Artois. After merging with Piedboeuf in 1987, it became Interbrew and expanded globally. InBev later acquired Anheuser-Busch in 2008, creating Anheuser-Busch InBev, headquartered in Leuven, Belgium. This combined entity produced over 200 beer brands and operated in more than 100 countries.12
