AdCritic's Cola War
Jan 29 2001 06:40 PM PST

 PROFILE
A sudsy rivalry brews in Canada between Molson and Interbrew's Labatt, as both vie to be the nation's #1 beer maker. Thanks to brands such as Molson Canadian and Molson Export, Molson controls about 45% of the domestic beer market, as does bitter rival Labatt. Nearly 20% of Molson's Canadian sales come from brewing for Foster's (which it also distributes), Coors, and other companies. It also exports Foster's to the US. Molson's mix includes about 20% of the Montreal Canadiens, the most successful ice hockey team in NHL history; Colorado businessman George Gillett Jr. and his family own the rest of the team and their arena. Chairman Eric Molson and family own over half of the firm's voting stock.
