About this investor
Asahi owns the Fuller's beer business, Meantime and Dark Star, alongside international brands including Asahi Super Dry, Peroni and Grolsch. [1][2][3]
Fuller's beer business was sold to Asahi on 27 April 2019; Fuller, Smith & Turner retained its pub/hotel company. The beer transaction includes a perpetual global exclusive royalty-free licence for relevant Fuller trademarks, not ownership of every Fuller-named business. Meantime and Dark Star remain group brands despite production-site changes. [1][2][3]
