Major North American brewer making Coors, Miller (US), Molson (Canada) and Blue Moon beer brands.
Major North American brewer making Coors, Miller (US), Molson (Canada) and Blue Moon beer brands.
Brews and sells beer to independent distributors, as the US three-tier system requires, so it competes for shelf and tap space and relies on brand strength and scale across the US, Canada and Europe. Buying out SABMiller's stake in the MillerCoors venture in 2016 gave it full control of the US business. Its main brands are mature, so the focus is on cost and pricing.
Moat: narrow (brand, distribution, scale). Legacy beer brand portfolio and North American distribution scale, though losing share to spirits/imports.
Headquarters: Chicago, Illinois, US · Founded: 2005 · Employees: 16,200
