Though I must admit to feeling irrational sadness that ownership of Fuller's Brewery has changed from one group of capitalists to another, a local paper did point out something that can make my heart swell with irrational local pride: Asahi's European headquarters is in Woking. They're based in one of the old SAB Miller buildings, so it sounds like Fuller's will be run from my home town.
The article then goes on to say that Asahi is now the third largest brewer in Europe, which looks like it's overstating the case to me. But I could be wrong, brewery and brand ownership is hard to keep up with.
