Miller Is Committed To Milwaukee, Coors To Denver

MILWAUKEE (AP) ― Milwaukee won't have to worry about a future without beer.

The chief executive of Miller Brewing says the nation's second-largest brewer is committed to staying in its hometown. Tom Long made that commitment even as Miller and the nation's third-biggest brewer, Molson Coors Brewing, planned to merge their U.S. operations in a deal expected to be done by midsummer.

Long told The Associated Press this week that a headquarters has not yet been picked for the venture, to be called MillerCoors.

He says decision-makers haven't even started analyzing their options, and added that Milwaukee and Denver haven't been ruled out.

No matter what's decided, Long says the brewers are committed to their hometowns and they'll always have a presence there.

Molson Coors CEO Leo Kiely said yesterday that the company will keep its headquarters in Denver.

Milwaukee was once home to brands such as Blatz, Schlitz and Pabst, but Miller is the last remaining big beer maker.
