Congratulations to Joshua McDonald, MBA for making Crain Chicago’s “40 Under 40” list, which celebrates the people who are “leading Chicago into the future.”  The publication praised the senior marketing manager’s role in leading the successful marketing strategy behind the rollout of Simply Spiked. Marcelo Pascoa, Molson Coors’ vice president of marketing, is also quoted in the article, saying, “Simply Spiked’s success wouldn’t be possible without Josh.” https://bit.ly/3NlyhI3

What happens when an iconic beer brand and a legendary denim brand collaborate? You get Beer wash jeans, of course. “You’ve heard of acid wash jeans or stone wash jeans,” says senior marketing manager Alyssa Lynner. “Now, we’re introducing beer wash jeans: stitched by Wrangler and washed with Coors Banquet for a vintage denim look only our two brands could create together.” Read more about the partnership here: https://bit.ly/4dzD8A5

Picking out high-quality hops is crucial for Molson Coors. That’s why our North American brewers, procurement, and quality teams toured farms and processors in Washington State’s Yakima Valley last week, selecting hops from the 2024 harvest. This trip also allows our teams to connect with hop farmers and suppliers who are essential to the success of our beers.

Every day, Shaylyn Gammon, Coors Spirits Co.’s head of whiskey development and innovation, juggles the rigors of maintaining consistency with the creativity needed to craft award-winning whiskey blends. “I like to examine certain barrels and think, ‘This is a great product, but how can I make it better?’” she says. “It's kind of like a giant puzzle.” Read more about Gammon’s process here: https://bit.ly/4ezT0Ua

At the 2024 Molson Coors Distributor Convention, Chief Commercial Officer Michelle St. Jacques laid out the company’s biggest priorities for the upcoming year and beyond. “Our next chapter starts from a point of strength,” she said. “Since 2022 and through June 30, we have grown our total share of the category by 1.5pts. We have grown our total share of shelf by over 6%. And we’ve driven $1 billion in distributor net revenue.” What’s next for the portfolio? Strengthening the core, and transforming the above-premium portfolio in beer, in flavor and in non-alc beverages. Read more about the company’s plans by clicking here: https://bit.ly/4ev3vYL

On Wednesday, we welcomed new MP for Burton & Uttoxeter, Jacob Collier to our Burton brewery. During the visit we shared our plans to invest around £80m in Burton over the next five years. A programme of significant investment and infrastructure upgrades includes replacing and relocating our conditioning tanks to our new world class conditioning block, as well as installing an additional filtration stream and upgrading assets in our bottling line to make our brewing process more efficient. These upgrades will play a crucial role in supporting our commitment to reach carbon net zero in its direct (scopes 1 and 2) emissions in the UK by 2035. Neil Haywood our Burton Brewery Operations Director said: “This plan is an important investment in the future of our Burton brewery, which is home to so many of the country’s favourite brands. It means we can meet growing demand for the beers and ciders our consumers love while making strong progress against our sustainability targets. We’re really proud to operate our biggest brewery right here in Burton and we’ve invested significantly in the site over the past decade. This further funding will build on the progress we’ve made and underscores our long-term commitment to the town.” Jacob Collier, MP for Burton and Uttoxeter, added: “Molson Coors is setting a fantastic example in Burton, showing a real willingness to invest in its people, industry, local community and the environment. Burton is the home of British brewing, and this latest investment will help to ensure that it remains so, long into the future. For me, it’s a source of pride that such iconic brands are made right here on our doorstep.”

On Monday, Sharp's turned 30! To mark this milestone, we've shared their celebrations and this week, are championing our people there. Across the 30 year history, Sharp’s has provided jobs and careers for many local people.  Chris Winn is now Sharp’s Racking Leader and he says, “When I started here, it was one small unit and there were six of us working here. We took it in turns to do every job, and over the last 27 years, I’ve pretty much followed that pattern - I’ve been a senior brewer, I’ve done the dray, I’ve driven the forklifts and I’ve been known as the ‘racking guru. Having that history with us, yet continuing to see it grow even now is just amazing for all of us who work here. Ultimately for me, it’s always been about the people here. I get on with everyone here and it’s like hanging out with friends every day. I want to work at Sharp’s until I’m ready to retire. There’s nowhere better."

Last week, members of the Molson Coors Veterans Group from our Trenton, Ohio, brewery took part in the Butler County Veterans Appreciation Day. Our team was on site selling Miller Lite, Coors Light, Vizzy Hard Seltzer and Happy Thursday, with proceeds from sales going to support restoration and repair of the Butler County Veterans Monument. Additionally, MCVG presented a $5,700 check to the Butler County Veterans Service Commission to help support its efforts against veteran suicide. Thank you to all the Molson Coors employees in Trenton who contributed to this effort!   #WeAreMolsonCoors
