Heineken and Carlsberg to take over UK's biggest brewer

The UK’s biggest brewer, Scottish & Newcastle, will fall into foreign hands tomorrow after its £7.8bn (€9.9bn) takeover by rivals Heineken and Carlsberg.

Shares in the Foster’s, John Smith’s and Kronenbourg 1664 maker will be delisted after shareholders called time on more than 250 years of history by approving the deal in March.
