Molson Coors Brewing Company

About this Brewery

Within its history is the perseverance of an English immigrant who created a new strain of yeast because he couldn’t find one that met his exacting standards. Within its history is a 26-year-old German immigrant who came to the US as a penniless stowaway and within five years realized his dream of opening a brewery in the foothills of Colorado’s Rocky Mountains.

And within its history, are the shared values of determination, ingenuity, and commitment to social responsibility before it was fashionable, because good acts make for good business.

The companies that formed Molson Coors Brewing Company in 2005, the Adolph Coors Company and Molson Inc., began as similar dreams in the minds of John Molson in 1786 and Adolph Coors in 1873. These two men were separated by dozens of years and almost 2,000 miles, but they founded businesses that from day one were rooted in a commitment to community and craft.

Great companies are shaped through passion, pride, and heritage. And sometimes, by coming together they can do even greater things.

The merger of Canadian-based Molson Inc. and Golden, Colorado’s Adolph Coors Company on Feb. 9, 2005 was born out of shared values and vision. The two companies joined to leverage their strengths in a fiercely competitive, rapidly consolidating global beer market. The merger made Molson Coors a leading global brewer, with the longest history of brewing and marketing beer in North America.

In today’s global market, scale is critical to success for brewers. Molson Coors’ collective strength in the world’s most profitable beer markets enables the company to operate efficiently and profitably, while supporting its ongoing innovation, marketing, and expansion efforts. Our global footprint includes 15,000 employees, 18 breweries and distribution in more than 30 countries.

Molson Coors is a leading brewer in Canada through Molson and in the U.K. and Ireland through Coors Brewers Ltd. The company also has a growth profile in the US through MillerCoors, a joint venture with SABMiller.

The company’s diverse portfolio of more than 65 strategic and partner brands positions it competitively in the brewing industry.
