Anheuser Busch Inbev NV (ADR) (NYSE:BUD) tops the list of the largest alcohol distributors in the world, and also ranks as the largest alcohol producer. The company generates revenue mostly from the sale of beer, but it also produces non-beer products (like carbonated soft-drinks) and also serves as a third-party producer for other companies. Anheuser Busch Inbev NV (ADR) (NYSE:BUD) has a very large brand portfolio, which includes renowned names like Budweiser, Stella Artois, and Beck’s.

These are the 7 largest alcohol distributors in the world. It’s not surprising that most of the companies on this list are engaged in the beer industry, since the beer market is the largest among all alcoholic drinks. One company that is missing from the list is SABMiller, because it was acquired by Anheuser Busch Inbev NV (ADR) (NYSE:BUD), but prior to that acquisition it was the second-largest alcohol company in the world.
