Although its figures were better than expected, the brewery giant warned of a continued slowdown in demand in the second half of the year as consumers were switching to ‘vale' brands.

AB InBev, which produces Stella Artois and Beck's beers, has already produced a cheaper Stelle Artois 4% brand in anticipation of this down-trading but said that it would continue to focus on its global premium brands.
