Molson Coors Beverage Company is a Canadian-American multinational brewer and beverage producer with over 16,000 employees across North America, Europe, and international markets. The company operates a diverse portfolio of beer brands including Coors Light, Miller Lite, Molson Canadian, Blue Moon Belgian White, Carling, Staropramen, and Leinenkugel's, and is expanding into spirits, energy drinks, and non-alcoholic beverages. Publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange under ticker TAP, the company ranks as the world's third-largest brewer following its 2016 acquisition of Miller Brewing Company for $12 billion.
The company's operations are rooted in more than 200 years of brewing heritage. John Molson established what is now described as Canada's oldest brewery in 1786 on the banks of the St. Lawrence River in Montreal, while Adolph Coors founded his brewery in Golden, Colorado in 1873. These legacy operations now operate as a unified entity serving consumers across diverse markets and beverage categories.
Sustainability and operational efficiency shape the company's current direction. Active initiatives include eliminating plastic packaging components, reducing water consumption in brewing processes, and achieving significant carbon emission reductions across operations.
