Canada: Molson Coors acquires minority stake in Brasseur de Montréal craft brewery

Molson Coors's Canadian craft division has purchased a minority stake in craft brewer Brasseur de Montréal, TVA Nouvelles reported on May 17.

Six Pintes, Molson Coors’ craft division, was created in 2011. The purchase of a stake in Brasseur de Montréal is its first partnership in Quebec. Previously the division had made acquisition of shares in Creemore brewery (Ontario) and Granville Island (British Columbia).

Brasseur de Montréal owners said the partnership will give their beers access to Molson’s huge distribution network in the country while the brewery will still remain independent.
