Canadians Not Buying Molson-Coors Beer

Posted on Friday, April 29 at 13:31 by sthompson
From the Globe and Mail:

What was billed last year as a match made in heaven has had a rocky start -- and the once mighty Canadian operations are getting blamed for most of the turmoil.

Yesterday the company said poor sales -- particularly in Canada and Europe -- and hefty expenses related to the Feb. 11 Molson-Adolph Coors merger resulted in a loss of nearly $50-million (U.S.) from January to March. Excluding those charges, it still would have lost more than $5-million.

For previous discussion of the merger on Vive, ncluding a call for a boycott of Coors-Molson products, see these articles: I am Canadian???

    I don't drink their corporate piss anyway. I drink microbrewery beer. It tastes better and is real free entereprize not corporate capitalism. (the socialism of the rich).

    I thought micro-brews were a good option too...now Creemore is owned by Molson-Coors...sigh.

    Making your own is good, so are micro-brews... like Two Rivers Red, myself. I bought an 18 of Canadian earlier this week though...I needed a new shirt. ;-)

    Socialism of the rich- I like that! Brick Brewery out of Waterloo, Ontario, makers of Laker, and Laker Red, have a good product.

    The Molson t.v. commercial where it starts off with a guy telling the camera "You are a quarterback from Florida" really pissed me off. I guess there selling beer in Canada to Americans that live up here. What a joke. I don't buy their beer but that commercial probably cost them dearly. Insult to Canadians.

    that should be " I guess they're"

    I also noticed that this commercial is longer showing up on t.v. complaints maybe?

    that should be "no longer showing up on t.v."
