4. Asahi Breweries, Ltd (OTC:ASBRF)

Since it was established in 1889 as Osaka Beer Brewing Company, Asahi Breweries’ top-quality domestic beer—the Asahi Beer—quickly dominated the domestic market and became Japan’s best-selling beer. In 1987, the company launched a sort of revolution in Japan’s beer industry with the introduction of Asahi Super Dry. This product not only made waves in Japan, but also revolutionized the global beer landscape. With its 147 subsidiaries and 95 plants across the globe, Asahi Breweries was able to meet the intense market demands for its products, pulling in $15.7 billion sales in 2017.
