Miller Brewing Company

Founded in 1855 by Frederick Miller in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Miller Brewing Company has grown from its humble beginnings to become one of America’s largest brewers. After purchasing the Plank Road Brewery, Miller established the principles of quality brewing that would guide the company for generations. The brewery pioneered several innovations in the industry, including the development of the ‘Miller Time’ marketing campaign and the introduction of the first light beer to achieve widespread commercial success. Through various ownership changes, including its current position as part of Molson Coors Beverage Company, Miller has maintained its commitment to brewing tradition while embracing modern technology. The historic Milwaukee brewery facility remains an important production site and tourist destination, featuring a visitor center that chronicles the company’s rich history. Miller’s influence extends beyond brewing to packaging innovations, distribution systems, and marketing strategies that have helped shape the modern beer industry. Their dedication to quality and consistency has earned them a permanent place in American brewing history.
