5. Skol
Skol was created through a joint effort by Canadian, British, Belgian and Swedish breweries in 1964, with the aim of creating a brand that could be successful globally. Clearly, that effort has paid off, as half-a-decade later, it ranks fifth among the top beer brands globally, with market share of 2.1%. Surprisingly (or perhaps because of), it’s been successful despite just 2.8% alcohol content, which ranks it as one of the weakest popular beers in the world. It is yet another brand that is now owned by Anheuser Busch Inbev SA NV (ADR) (NYSE:BUD).
