That will soon change as Molson Coors announced Thursday it will be dropping the MillerCoors …
In 2007, to further complicate “who owns what,” SABMiller and Molson Coors Brewing Company announced a joint venture to be known as MillerCoors for their US operations that will market all of their products. It is quite possibly named MillerCoors because “SABMillerCoorsMolson” would be “confusing.” For over 150 years, Milwaukee has served as home to the Miller Brewing Co. name. Miller Brewing Company was founded in 1855 by Frederick Miller after his emigration from Hohenzollern, Germany in 1854 with a unique brewer's yeast.Initially, he purchased the small Plank Road Brewery in Milwaukee for $2,300 ($66,736 in 2018). Who owns coors? Coors is owned by Molson Coors - a joint venture with Molson of Canada.
In USA the brand is distributed by MillerCoors which is a JV between SABMiller and MolsonCoors.
The brewery's location in the Miller Valley in Milwaukee provided easy access to raw materials produced on nearby farms. Years before the Volstead Act went into effect nationwide, Adolph Coors with sons Adolph Jr., Grover, and Herman established the Adolph Coors Brewing and Manufacturing Company, which included Herold Porcelain and other ventures.
The brewery itself was converted into a malted milk and near beer production facility. The Coors Brewing Company managed to survive Prohibition relatively intact. SABMiller plc was a British multinational brewing and beverage company headquartered in Woking, England on the outskirts of London until 10 October 2016 when it was acquired by Anheuser-Busch InBev.Prior to that date, it was the world's second-largest brewer measured by revenues (after Anheuser-Busch InBev) and was also a major bottler of Coca-Cola. MillerCoors will now be known as Molson Coors Beverage Co. Miller Brewing was founded in Milwaukee in 1855, and was sold in 1970 to cigarette maker Philip Morris Cos.
