How the Molson Family Brewed a Beer Empire Across Centuries

This episode of Family Business Stories with Fexingo looks at the Molson family, who have been brewing beer in Canada since 1786. Lucas and Luna trace the family's journey from a small Montreal brewery to a global beer giant, exploring how the family navigated succession, financial crises, and the 2005 merger with Coors. They focus on the key decisions — including the choice to go public in 1945 and the creation of a family constitution — that allowed the Molsons to keep brewing through seven generations. Specific numbers: the Molson family's stake in Molson Coors today and the brewery's output in the 1800s. Lucas also explains why the Molson story is a rare case of a family business that survived both Canadian and American consolidation waves. #MolsonFamily #BeerEmpire #FamilyBusiness #SuccessionPlanning #MolsonCoors #BrewingHistory #CanadianBusiness #MultiGenerational #BusinessHistory #FamilyConstitution #IPO #BeerIndustry #Montreal #SeventhGeneration #Business #Finance #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
