Investors who had piled in to SABMiller on Thursday due to vague talk of a merger with Budweiser's owner, Anheuser-Busch InBev, were also having their bid dreams dashed. Citigroup's Adam Spielman was not impressed with the story, saying that it was "simply the wrong time for a deal", and the Grolsch brewer dipped 25p to 2,222.5p.
