SABMiller, MolsonCoors now MillerCoors in US
From the press release straight from MolsonCoors:
SABMiller plc (SAB.L) and Molson Coors Brewing Company (NYSE: TAP; TSX: TPX) today announced the closing of the transaction to combine their U.S. and Puerto Rico operations to create MillerCoors.
MillerCoors, which will begin operating as a combined entity on July 1, 2008, will be a dynamic, brand-led U.S. brewer with the scale, resources and distribution platform to succeed in the highly competitive marketplace.
I hate to be a spoil sport about this one… I guess we’ll just see how it turns out.
I’ve already made my opinion known about bigger beer companies.
Cheers.
