Bidders are lining up to participate in the sale of more than $7bn worth of assets that are being prepared to go under the auctioneer's hammer in the wake of InBev's $52bn takeover of Anheuser-Busch, the brewer of Budweiser.

Busch Entertainment, the group's theme park business, which owns SeaWorld Orlando, is expected to be one of the first business units put up for sale with a possible price of up to $4bn.
