The job shift to Milwaukee is tied to a Molson Coors plan to simplify its corporate structure and cut costs.
The company will move from a corporate center and four business units to two business units: one for North America and one for Europe.
The North America business unit will consolidate the U.S. and Canada units and corporate center, the company said, allowing to it maneuver faster with its large brand lineup.
Molson Coors will close its Denver office, with the MillerCoors Chicago office becoming the North American operational headquarters.
I’ve become a beer snob. I won’t touch any InBev stuff. No Miller/Coors. I stick with the imported German beer or the local craft brews. No IPAs. Brown ales in winter, pilsners in summer.
Chicago cheaper than Denver?
They say they want to cut costs, but they’re staying in Chicago?!
In honor of this news and the end of the World Series I will post the punchline and let you remember the joke:
“Why that’s the beer that made Mel Famey walk us.”
