Molson Coors Brewing Co. and SABMiller PLC plan to combine their U.S. operations in a joint venture. The new company will be named MillerCoors.
I'm not too happy about this, because Coors sucks. But I suppose BudweiserMiller would have been worse.
A spokesman says Miller Brewing will still have a strong presence in Milwaukee even though the company is combining its operations with Denver-based competitor Molson Coors. He says it's not clear where headquarters will be located.
Pete Coors, vice chairman of Molson Coors, will serve as chairman of the new company and Molson Coors Chief Executive Leo Kiely will be the new CEO of the joint venture. Tom Long, CEO of Miller, will be appointed president and chief commercial officer.
Here are the current beers made by Coors:

I didn't realize that Coors made Killians and Blue Moon. I like both of those.
When did Zima become Zima XXX, and just what are they trying to suggest with that name? That stuff is awful.
I, for one, welcome our new Coors overlords.
