Miller Valley Brewery opened

Miller Brewing Co. announced that it has completed the construction of a US$4 million pilot brewery and packaging facility within its Milwaukee Technical Centre. The Miller Valley Brewery can brew and package up to 10 barrels of beer or other malt-based beverages at a time and will enable Miller to improve its capabilities in new product development. Is the opening of the Miller Valley Brewery unrelated to the fact that last year Miller decided to pull out of its several microbreweries scattered across the country? We think, we should be told.
In December, Miller announced its decision to sell the Celis Brewery and the Celis trademark, whose 100 % ownership it had only acquired in April as part of a contractual obligation. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed..
