Molson Coors, which acquired the Miller brand globally from SAB Miller in 2016, will retail two variants in the premium segment – Miller Ace, a strong premium beer brewed especially for the Indian palate and Miller High Life, the globally renowned American styled lager beer. With these additions, Molson India now boasts of a versatile brand portfolio that includes Thunderbolt, Miller High Life, Miller Ace and Carling Strong premium beer.
 
Both Miller High Life and Miller Ace will now be available in 650 ml & 330 ml glass bottles along with 500 ml aluminium cans.

Molson Coors India’s distribution will cater to demand for Miller through channels like restaurants, pubs and diners, apart from select liquor vends.
