History

The Molson Coors Beverage Company is a multinational brewing company, formed in 2005 by the merger of Molson of Canada, and Coors of the United States. It is the world’s seventh largest brewer by volume.

While the company is incorporated in the United States, it is traded on stock exchanges in both the United States and Canada, and control is equally shared between the Molson and Coors families.

Molson Coors expanded significantly after the merger of Anheuser-Busch InBev and SABMiller in October 2016. This was achieved because during the plans for the merger, SABMiller had agreed to divest itself of the Miller brands by selling its stake in MillerCoors to Molson Coors.

On October 9, 2007, SABMiller and Molson Coors Brewing Company announced a joint venture to be known as MillerCoors for their U.S. operations that will wholesale all of their products.[10] MillerCoors is headquartered in Chicago.

On February 2, 2011, the company purchased Sharp’s Brewery of Cornwall in England for around £20 million.

On May 26, 2011, seventh-generation family member Andrew Molson succeeded Pete Coors as acting Chairman of the company.

In early 2012 the company expanded into the Central and Eastern Europe markets by acquiring the region’s market-leading brewery StarBev from CVC Capital Partners.

In September 2014, it was revealed in the media that the firm was in talks to acquire Heineken’s operations in the Czech Republic.

The company launched two e-commerce platforms for Blue Moon and Coors Light in 2019. The brand pages were the company’s first purchased-enabled platforms.

On October 30, 2019, the company changed its name slightly to the Molson Coors Beverage Company and announced that the company’s headquarters would move to Chicago.
