Not really true. The Coors and Molson Families do have decendents from overseas (Don't we all). They still control the company. It is a special exempt company from the normal type public reporting to the SEC.

However, they are on the NYSE and have offices and breweries in the US, so I still consider them an American company.

I am sure GE, GM, Ford and others also have foreign stockholders, but that does not necessarily make them a foreign owned company.

Their partner, SABMiller, is a South African owned company, however, they are still 2 separate companies working together at this time....

However, that is NOT the reason I will still drink Coors....it is about taste and class.... :smt004 :beer:

On the same note, I bet a lot of you younger guys do not know that you used to have to give a trucker some cash to bring you some "bootleg" Coors from out west years ago.....it was not even available here in the southeast legally.

It was good then too :beer:

Butch had to go to Arizona back in the early 70's to pick up a helicopter for his office. He brought it back on a flat bed trailer. The cockpit was crammed full of COORS. :smt005

I thought AB was their parent company? I know Margaritaville owns the rights but I heard AB bottles it and had controlling interest? I could be wrong....(it has happened before). :D
Your right Landshark is brewed and bottled at the AB plant in Jacksonville.
