Molson to build new brewery
Molson will build a CAD35 million brewery in Moncton, in the eastern province of New Brunswick. Montreal-based Molson, which plans to merge with U.S.-brew-er Coors, explained that the project will allow it to compete more effectively in the region and cut costs. The brewery is expected to be completed by 2007 and will give Molson local brewer status, which means it will have the ability to operate warehouses and have a distribution system in the region.
The new brewery will feature bottling and keg lines and its capacity will be more than 250,000 hl annually. When fully operational, the facility will produce several of Molson’s core brands such as Canadian and Coors Light for the regional market. It will also support Molson’s long-term strategy to expand its export business..
