Revenues, excluding acquisitions and disposals, and stripping out the impact of currency fluctuations, climbed 8% in the six months to September.
That compared with 6% growth in the same part of the group's previous financial year, it said in a trading update.
"Overall, financial performance for the half year was in line with our expectations," the company added.
SABMiller, which is listed in London and Johannesburg, produces well-known brands including Grolsch, Miller Lite, Peroni Nastro Azzuro and Pilsner Urquell.
"In Latin America lager volumes grew by 4.0%. While economic expansion continued across the region, this was at a more modest pace in the second quarter due to weaker consumer sentiment," it said in the statement.
The group added that European lager volumes rose 9.0%, driven partly by selective price reductions.
Turning to Asia, SABMiller also revealed that lager volumes in the Asia Pacific region grew by 5.0%.
However, including the Foster's acquisition and other deals in China, volumes soared by 17%.
