1. The History of the Menomonee Valley

Listen to the story that begins with a Menomonee Valley poetic, where the scent of hops wafts in the wind. In the year 1855, when Frederick Miller, a brewer with a love and know-how from far away Germany, found the land destined to fulfill his dreams. He bought a small brewery called “Plank Road Brewery”. It was not just a transaction, but the beginning of a legend, where European sophistication met the free spirit of America.

Time flows, and the legend continues to grow. By the year 1903, Miller launched Miller High Life – dubbed the “Champagne of Beer”. It was not just a beer, but a symbol of luxury, a golden light that spread across America. Then the 1970s marked a historic turning point. Under the patronage of Philip Morris, Miller suddenly became one of the giants. And especially, 1975 witnessed a revolution: Miller Lite was born, completely defining the concept of light beer and conquering the taste buds of millions. Today, although it has become a proud part of Molson Coors, Miller’s soul still lives on in every drop of golden beer.
