Molson Coors Brewing Company is a multinational brewing company that traces its roots back to the early 18th century. The company was officially formed through the merger of Molson Inc. and Coors Brewing Company in 2005. Both Molson and Coors had rich histories as individual brewing entities before coming together to create one of the world's largest beer companies.
The Molson side of the business can be traced back to 1786 when John Molson founded the Molson Brewery in Montreal, Canada. It quickly became one of Canada's oldest and most iconic breweries. On the other hand, Coors Brewing Company was founded in 1873 by Adolph Coors in Golden, Colorado, USA. Coors gained recognition for its Rocky Mountain spring water and was known for producing the popular Coors beer.
Today, Molson Coors Brewing Company is a global beverage company that operates in various segments of the alcoholic beverage industry. They produce and distribute a wide range of beer brands, including popular names like Coors Light, Miller Lite, Molson Canadian, Blue Moon, and many others. Additionally, they have expanded their portfolio to include non-alcoholic beverages and other alcoholic beverages beyond beer.
