Topvar Breweries is a beer brewing company in Slovakia. The company was created by the merger of the Šariš and Topvar breweries on 1 January 2007, after both were purchased by global brewing giant SABMiller in 2006. Subsequently, as part of the agreements made with regulators before Anheuser-Busch InBev was allowed to acquire SABMiller in October 2016, Topvar was sold to Asahi Breweries of Japan on December 13, 2016; the deal is expected to close during the first half of 2017.[1][2][3][4]
The original Topvar Brewery was founded in 1957 and the first Topvar beer was brewed in Topoľčany in 1964. In 2007, the beer brewing operation was relocated to Veľký Šariš.
