Miller Factory

The history of Miller's breweries and factories dates back to the 19th century when two German entrepreneurs Frederick Miller and Alfred Kors arrived in America. Frederick Miller settled in Milwaukee and bought the Plank Road Brewery. He converted it and opened a new foamy drink business.

The brewery was located in the Menomonee Valley. This was a very good place because of the proximity of the raw material. They were needed for the production of the drink. Frederick brought yeast, necessary for the fermentation process, in the pocket of his coat. So, this is how the production of the world-famous beer started. It became the favorite drink of the Americans.

Over the years, Frederick Miller was constantly improving beer preparation technology and experimented with ingredients. Only one thing remained unchanged - the quality of raw materials. It was perfect. This was the key to the brewery’s success. 

Alfred Kors, arriving in America with Miller, was also keeping occupied. He bought an abandoned tannery and founded Golden Brewery. During Prohibition in the United States, the brewery was producing malted milk in order not to be closed. And after it was again allowed to produce and sell alcohol, the Corsa enterprise resumed production of beer.

The popularity of Corsa drinks was growing every year. In 1996, the company got the Gold Medal of the American Beer Festival. Since then, Coors beer was selling in all American states. In 2007, Corsa merged with Miller to establish MillerCoors. Now it is a behemoth in the beer market.

During the tour, you can see the production of beer on all its stages, starting from the rejection of raw materials and ending with the packaging of bottles in cases. Today, the process is almost fully automated. The employees of the enterprise only monitor the working conditions of machines to avoid defective products.
