Molson Coors Brewing Company is a company that was created by the merger of two of North America's largest breweries: Molson of Canada, and Coors of the United States, on February 9, 2005. The Canadian subsidiary of Molson Coors Brewing Company is a part-owner of Brewers Retail Inc., operator of Ontario's The Beer Store retail chain. According to the Molson Coors website, Molson Coors Brewing Company is the fifth-largest brewer by volume with 42.1 million U.S. beer barrels sold in 2006. The company's binational nature has caused several sources in both the U.S. and Canada to claim the... company is now controlled by interests in the other country. In fact, while the company is incorporated in the United States, the company is traded on stock exchanges in both countries, and control is equally shared between the Molson and Coors families. The company is headquartered in Denver, CO and Montreal, QC. On October 9, 2007, SABMiller and Molson Coors Brewing Company announced a joint venture to be known as MillerCoors for their U.S. operations that will market all of their products.
