Miller Valley in Milwaukee, site of the Miller Brewing Company complex

Miller Brewing Visitor was founded in 1855 by Frederick Miller after his emigration from Hohenzollern, Deutschland in 1854 with a unique brewer's yeast.

In 1855, Miller inverse its name to Miller Brewing Company, Inc.^[4] The enterprise remained in the family until 1966.

The company was one of the vi breweries affected by the 1953 Milwaukee brewery strike.

In 1966, the conglomerate W. R. Grace and Company bought Miller from Lorraine John Mulberger (Frederick Miller's granddaughter, who objected to alcohol) and her family. In 1969, Philip Morris (now Altria) bought Miller from Due west. R. Grace for $130 million, outbidding PepsiCo.

In 2002, Due south African Breweries bought Miller from Philip Morris for $iii.vi billion worth of stock and $2 billion in debt to form SABMiller, with Philip Morris retaining a 36% ownership share and 24.99% voting rights.

In 2006, SABMiller purchased the Sparks and Steel Reserve brands from McKenzie River Corporation for $215 million cash.^[five] Miller had been producing both brands prior to the purchase.^{[half dozen]}

On July 1, 2008, SABMiller formed MillerCoors, a articulation venture with rival Molson Coors, to consolidate the product and distribution of its products in the United States, with each parent company's corporate operations and international operations to remain separate and independent of the joint venture. SABMiller owned 58% of the unit, which operated in the U.s.a. but not in Canada, where Molson Coors is strongest, simply the companies had equal voting power.^{[7] [8]}

Sole ownership by Molson Coors [edit]

In September 2015, Anheuser-Busch InBev announced that it had reached a full agreement to learn SABMiller for $107 billion.^[ix] As office of the understanding with the U.South. Justice Department, SABMiller agreed to divest itself of the Miller brands in the US and Puerto Rico by selling its stake in MillerCoors to Molson Coors.^{[1] [10]} Consequently, on October 11, 2016, SABMiller in the U.S. sold its interests in MillerCoors to Molson Coors for around US$12 billion. Molson Coors gained full buying of the Miller make portfolio outside the United states of america and Puerto Rico, and retained the rights to all of the brands that were in the MillerCoors portfolio for the U.S. and Puerto Rico.^{[2] [11]}
