Molson Coors is committed to serving sustainable beverages to savor
Molson Coors Beverage Company ( Molson Coors ) is a Canadian American multinational drink and brewing company headquartered in Chicago , Illinois , with main offices in Golden , Colorado , and Montreal , Quebec . It was formed in 2005 through the merger of Molson of Canada , and Coors of the United States .
For over two centuries , Molson Coors has been brewing beverages that unite people to celebrate all life ’ s moments . From Coors Light to Molson Canadian , and Carling to Cobra , Molson Coors produces many beloved and iconic beer brands . While the company ’ s history is rooted in beer , it offers a modern portfolio that expands beyond the beer aisle .
The company ’ s roots can be traced back to 1774 , with the heritage of key players combining to create the company ’ s legacy today . In 1786 , English immigrant , John Molson , founded Canada ’ s oldest beer brewery on the banks of the St . Lawrence River in Montreal . He wrote : “ My beer has been universally well-liked beyond my most sanguine expectations .” The legacy continues seven generations later with brands like Molson Canadian , which was first brewed in 1959 and remains one of Canada ’ s most iconic and best-selling beers today .
Adolph Coors , a penniless brewer ’ s apprentice , stowed away on a ship from
Germany in 1868 and made his way west , coming upon the perfect water of Clear Creek in Golden , Colorado , at the foot of the Rocky Mountains . He opened a brewery in 1873 . A century later , in 1978 , Coors Light was born . It is now one of the best-selling beers in the US and enjoyed by beer drinkers in more than 25 countries worldwide .
Frederick J . Miller began his apprenticeships in brewing as an adolescent . By 1849 , he was brew master to a German prince . After immigrating to the US , he settled in Milwaukee , and in 1855 leased and later purchased the suburban Plank Road Brewery for $ 2300 . The brewer ’ s yeast he brought with him from Germany gave the beers a unique flavor and character . Its descendant yeast is still used in some of the company ’ s beers today .
These three families created the roots of what was to become Molson Coors through a history of strategic development and acquisitions . Today , Molson Coors is a public company that operates through Molson Coors North America and Molson Coors Europe , and is traded on the New York and Canadian Stock Exchange . The company has a commitment to raising industry standards and leaving a positive imprint on its employees , consumers , communities , and the environment , putting quality and
