Manser paid 2083.82p a share for the 5,000 shares, which cost a total of £104,000. He has taken advantage of the weakness in the share price since the beginning of 2011.
Organic volumes of lager, which strip out the effects of acquisitions and disposals, rose 3% in the Peroni and Grolsch firm's third quarter. They're up 2% for the first nine months, helped by better economic conditions in many of its emerging markets.
