Beer people creating America’s best beer company.
MillerCoors is a joint venture that combined the US businesses of Molson Coors and SABMiller and employs around 9,000 people. Both companies came from remarkable businessmen who also happened to be remarkable human beings. Both have had family members carry on the legacy of their founders. Both survived Prohibition and two world wars. These founding companies built their success barrel by barrel and now, together, aim to be the best beer company in America. More information can be found at the MillerCoors corporate site.
Coors
Beer gets its own frontiersman.
Coors Brewing Company tapped its first barrel in 1873, when Adolph Coors opened The Golden Brewery in Colorado. Coors was born in Prussia and apprenticed at a brewery in his teens. With characteristic spirit, he stowed away on a ship to get to America and bring his brewing dream to life.
Miller
European flavor meets American determination.
Miller Brewing Company began when a determined young brewer, Frederick J. Miller, brought his passion for beer to the United States. Miller settled in Milwaukee, where in 1855 he bought the Plank Road Brewery and made his first delicious beer, using yeast that he had carried with him all the way from Europe.
