TOKYO, Aug 21 (Reuters) - Carlyle Group-backed Japanese beer maker Orion Breweries plans to list on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on September 25 after raising about 16.7 billion yen ($113.26 million), a regulatory filing showed on Thursday.

The initial public offering comes six years after Carlyle CG.O and Nomura Capital Partners jointly acquired the Okinawa-based beer company via a $386.68 million management buyout.

Carlyle and Nomura currently each own about 40% of the company while railway operator Kintetsu Group Holdings 9041.T also owns about 10% of shares.

Founded in 1957, Orion Breweries produces and distributes alcoholic beverages and soft drinks.
