Mike - in a recent blog you noted, “How about that nice Pete Coors guy and his Coors Light? Oops, Molson owns them up in Canada. Tap the Rockies (and give the profits to Canadians) indeed.”

Actually, Molson did not purchase Coors. Molson Coors Brewing Company was created during a merger of equals in 2005 between Coors Brewing Company and Molson. The company is headquartered in Denver and Montreal and is traded on both the New York and Toronto stock exchanges. It is both an American and a Canadian company.

In terms of the US business, nearly all of the brewing happens in the US for US consumers. And, in fact, all of the profits generated in the US over the years have stayed here to be reinvested in our US business. The MillerCoors joint venture provides roughly 9,000 US jobs, and our products are distributed by hundreds of US distributors — independent, and often family-owned, US businesses with tens of thousands of US employees all across the country.

Here is some additional background on Molson Coors: Molson Coors Brewing Company is one of the world’s largest brewers. It brews, markets and sells a portfolio of leading premium quality brands such as Coors Light, Molson Canadian, Molson Dry, Carling, Coors, and Keystone Light in North America, Europe and Asia. It operates in Canada, through Molson Canada; in the US, through the MillerCoors joint venture; in the U.K. and Ireland, through Coors Brewers Limited.
