[2]	Due to the anti-dilutive effect resulting from the reported net loss from continuing operations, the impact of potentially dilutive securities has been omitted from the quarterly calculation of weighted-average shares for diluted EPS for the third quarter of 2014. The impact of these potentially dilutive securities has been included in the calculation of weighted-average shares for diluted EPS for the nine months ended SeptemberB 30, 2014.Additionally, the sum of the quarterly net income per share amounts may not agree to the full year net income per share amounts. We calculate net income per share based on the weighted average number of outstanding shares during the period for each reporting period presented. The average number of shares fluctuates throughout the year and can therefore produce a full year result that does not agree to the sum of the individual quarters.

	Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
	Unless otherwise noted in this report, any description of "we", "us" or "our" includes Molson Coors Brewing Company ("MCBC" or the "Company"), principally a holding company, and its operating and non-operating subsidiaries included within our reporting segments and Corporate. Our reporting segments include: Molson Coors Canada ("MCC" or Canada segment), operating in Canada; MillerCoors LLC ("MillerCoors" or U.S. segment), which is accounted for by us under the equity method of accounting, operating in the United States ("U.S."); Molson Coors Europe (Europe segment), operating in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Montenegro, Republic of Ireland, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia and the United Kingdom ("U.K."); and Molson Coors International ("MCI"), operating in various other countries.
	References to Central Europe reflect our operations in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Montenegro, Romania, Serbia and Slovakia, as a result of our acquisition (the "Acquisition") of StarBev Holdings S.à r.l. ("StarBev") from StarBev L.P. (the "Seller") on June 15, 2012, and the results of these operations are included within our Europe segment.
	Unless otherwise indicated, information in this report is presented in U.S. dollars ("USD" or "$") and comparisons are to comparable prior periods as noted below.
	The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements reflect all adjustments which are necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). Such unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.
	These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 ("Annual Report") and have been prepared on a consistent basis with the accounting policies described in Note 1 of the Notes to the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements ("Notes") included in our Annual Report. Our accounting policies did not change in the first three quarters of 2014, with the exception of a change to our policy for recognizing advertising expenses in interim periods as discussed below. Additionally, in order to provide further clarity around our policy regarding the classification of special items in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations, we have expanded our related disclosure as reflected below.
	Special Items
	Our special items represent charges incurred or benefits realized that either we do not believe to be indicative of our core operations, or we believe are significant to our current operating results warranting separate classification; specifically, such items are considered to be one of the following:
	•infrequent or unusual items,
	•impairment or asset abandonment-related losses,
	•restructuring charges and other atypical employee-related costs, or
	•fees on termination of significant operating agreements and gains (losses) on disposal of investments.

	The items classified as special items are not necessarily non-recurring, however, they are deemed to be incremental to income earned or costs incurred by the Company in conducting normal operations, and therefore are presented separately from other components of operating income.

	Our Fiscal Year

	On November 14, 2013, our Board of Directors approved a resolution to change MCBC's fiscal year from a 52/53 week fiscal year to a calendar year. As such, our 2013 fiscal year was extended from December 28, 2013, to December 31, 2013, with subsequent fiscal years beginning on January 1 and ending on December 31 of each year. Beginning January 1, 2014, quarterly results reflect the three month periods ending March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31. This change aligned our fiscal year and interim reporting periods with our Central Europe business and MillerCoors, which were already following a monthly fiscal reporting calendar. Unless otherwise indicated, and with the exception of the Central Europe business and MillerCoors, the third quarter of 2013 and the three months ended September 28, 2013, refer to the thirteen weeks ended September 28, 2013. The first three quarters of 2013 and the nine months ended September 28, 2013, refer to the thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 2013. The third quarter and first three quarters of 2014 refer to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively. Fiscal year 2014 refers to the 12 months ending December 31, 2014, and fiscal year 2013 refers to the period from December 30, 2012, to December 31, 2013. The impact of the additional days in fiscal year 2013 is immaterial to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
	The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for the full fiscal year.
	Change in Interim Period Accounting for Advertising Expenses

	In previous years' interim periods, including the quarterly periods within fiscal year 2013, we recognized advertising costs in expense during the fiscal year based on the proportion of sales volumes for the interim period in relation to the estimated annual sales volumes. U.S. GAAP permits the allocation of advertising costs across interim periods within a fiscal year when future periods benefit from the expenditure. Advertising expenses were not deferred from one fiscal year to the next. Effective beginning the first quarter of fiscal year 2014, we changed our method of accounting for advertising expenses for interim periods such that advertising expense is now recognized as incurred. We adopted this change as a result of management’s belief that the new method is preferable and results in a more objective measure of quarterly expense that will better support planning and resource allocation decisions by management, results in improved financial statements for investor analysis, and further aligns our treatment with that of our U.S. operations within MillerCoors. The new policy of expensing advertising costs as incurred additionally eliminates the uncertainty in estimating overall expected sales volumes, advertising expenses, and the benefit period of the advertising on an interim basis, and conforms our interim accounting policy with that used to prepare the annual financial statements. The change has been applied retrospectively to all prior interim periods presented. The quarterly impact of the change in accounting policy on marketing, general and administrative expenses and the associated impact on income tax expense, as well as the impact to certain subtotals and diluted earnings per share within our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations, is as follows:

	As noted above, under our historical treatment, advertising expenses were not deferred from one fiscal year to the next. Therefore, the change in interim accounting had no impact on full year consolidated results. Additionally, the quarterly impact to other comprehensive income (loss) related to currency translation on the adjustments has been reflected within the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income included herein.

	The following table shows the impact to income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes by segment as a result of the change in accounting policy for advertising expense. The full impact of this change in presentation is reflected within marketing, general and administrative expenses.

	As noted above, under our historical treatment, advertising expenses were not deferred from one fiscal year to the next. Therefore, the change in interim accounting had no impact on full year segment results.
	Unrecognized Tax Benefit Adjustments
	During the second quarter of 2014, we identified that we had incorrectly omitted the recognition of a liability for specific uncertain tax positions related to fiscal year 2010 that resulted in an immaterial misstatement of unrecognized tax benefits and retained earnings within the consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2013, and December 29, 2012, included in our Annual Report. We determined the impact of the correction of this error to be too significant to record within our second quarter 2014 results and, therefore, revised our historical balance sheets accordingly. To correct for this error, in the second quarter of 2014, we revised the unrecognized tax benefits and retained earnings in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013, included herein. This correction resulted in an increase in the current portion of unrecognized tax benefits included within accounts payable and other current liabilities of $19.3 million, an increase in noncurrent unrecognized tax benefits of $14.4 million and a corresponding decrease to retained earnings of $33.7 million as of December 31, 2013. See Note 8, "Income Tax" for further discussion.

	New Accounting Pronouncements
	Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements
	Joint and Several Liability Arrangements
	In February 2013, the FASB issued authoritative guidance for the recognition, measurement and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation is fixed at the reporting date. The guidance was effective for our quarter ended March 31, 2014. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on our financial position or results from operations.
	Cumulative Translation Adjustment
	In March 2013, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on a parent's accounting for the cumulative translation adjustment upon derecognition of certain subsidiaries or groups of assets within a foreign entity or of an investment in a foreign entity. This update also resolves the diversity in practice for the treatment of business combinations achieved in stages (sometimes also referred to as step acquisitions) involving a foreign entity. The guidance was effective for our quarter ended March 31, 2014. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on our financial position or results from operations.
	Liquidation Basis of Accounting
	In April 2013, the FASB issued authoritative guidance to clarify when it is appropriate to apply the liquidation basis of accounting. Additionally, the update provides guidance for recognition and measurement of assets and liabilities and requirements for financial statements prepared using the liquidation basis of accounting. Under the amendment, entities are required to prepare their financial statements under the liquidation basis of accounting when a liquidation becomes imminent. The guidance was effective for our quarter ended March 31, 2014. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on our financial position or results from operations.
	Presentation of Unrecognized Tax Benefits
	In July 2013, the FASB issued authoritative guidance related to the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits. The update requires that the entity present an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward or a tax credit carryforward in the statement of financial position. The guidance does not apply to the extent that a net operating loss carryforward or tax credit carryforward at the reporting date is not available under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position. The guidance was effective for our quarter ended March 31, 2014. As a result of adopting this guidance, we have presented deferred tax assets net of unrecognized tax benefits, as appropriate, in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The adoption of this guidance impacted the classification of our outstanding unrecognized tax benefits and resulted in a reclassification of $37.8 million from the unrecognized tax benefits line item within the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet upon adoption in the first quarter of 2014.
	New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
	Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity
	In April 2014, the FASB issued authoritative guidance related to reporting discontinued operations and disclosures of disposals of components of an entity. The update limits discontinued operations reporting to disposals of components of an entity that represent strategic shifts that have (or will have) a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results. This update requires expanded disclosures related to assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of discontinued operations. This update also requires the disclosure of pretax profit or loss and the financial effects of significant disposals that do not qualify for discontinued operations reporting. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and interim reporting periods thereafter. We do not anticipate that this guidance will have an impact on our financial position or results of operations.
	Revenue Recognition
	In May 2014, the FASB issued authoritative guidance related to new accounting requirements for the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for the goods or services. The requirements of the new standard are effective for the annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. We are currently evaluating the potential impact on our financial position and results of operations upon adoption of this guidance.
	Share-Based Payments
	In June 2014, the FASB issued authoritative guidance related to share-based payments when the terms of an award provide that a performance target could be achieved after the requisite service period. The amendments require that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. The requirements of the new standard are effective for the annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those annual periods. We do not anticipate that this guidance will have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]	'
Segment Reporting	'
	Segment Reporting
	Our reporting segments are based on the key geographic regions in which we operate, which are the basis on which our chief operating decision maker evaluates the performance of the business. Our reporting segments consist of Canada, the U.S., Europe and MCI. Corporate is not a segment and primarily includes interest and certain other general and administrative costs that are not allocated to any of the operating segments. No single customer accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated or segmented sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, and September 28, 2013, respectively. Net sales represent sales to third-party external customers. Inter-segment sales revenues and income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes, other than those to MillerCoors (see Note 4, "Investments" for additional detail), are insignificant and eliminated in consolidation.
	The following table presents net sales by segment:


		Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended

Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract]	'
Investments	'
	Investments
	Our investments include both equity method and consolidated investments. Those entities identified as variable interest entities ("VIEs") have been evaluated to determine whether we are the primary beneficiary. The VIEs included under "Consolidated VIEs" below are those for which we have concluded that we are the primary beneficiary and accordingly, consolidate these entities. None of our consolidated VIEs held debt as of September 30, 2014, or December 31, 2013. We have not provided any financial support to any of our VIEs during the quarter that we were not previously contractually obligated to provide. Amounts due to and due from our equity method investments are recorded as affiliate accounts payable and affiliate accounts receivable.
	Authoritative guidance related to the consolidation of VIEs requires that we continually reassess whether we are the primary beneficiary of VIEs in which we have an interest. As such, the conclusion regarding the primary beneficiary status is subject to change, and we continually evaluate circumstances that could require consolidation or deconsolidation. As of September 30, 2014, and December 31, 2013, our consolidated VIEs are Cobra Beer Partnership, Ltd. ("Cobra U.K.") and Grolsch. Our unconsolidated VIEs are Brewers' Retail Inc. ("BRI") and Brewers' Distributor Ltd. ("BDL"). The Molson Modelo Imports L.P. ("MMI") operations were terminated in the first quarter of 2014 and the joint venture was subsequently dissolved in the third quarter of 2014. See further discussion below.

	Investment in MillerCoors	$	2,580.10			$	2,506.50


	-1	Our net investment in MillerCoors is based on the carrying values of the net assets contributed to the joint venture which is less than our proportionate share of underlying equity (42%) of MillerCoors (contributed by both Coors Brewing Company ("CBC") and Miller Brewing Company ("Miller")). This basis difference, with the exception of certain non-amortizing items (goodwill, land, etc.), is being amortized as additional equity income over the remaining useful lives of the contributed long-lived amortizing assets.

Termination of MMI Operations
On November 5, 2013, Anheuser-Busch Inbev ("ABI") and MCBC entered into an agreement providing for the accelerated termination of MMI, a 50% - 50% joint venture with Grupo Modelo S.A.B. de C.V. ("Modelo"), which provided for the import, distribution, and marketing of the Modelo beer brand portfolio across all Canadian provinces and territories. The joint venture, accounted for under the equity method of accounting, was originally a 10 year agreement ending January 1, 2018. In June 2013, ABI completed its combination with Modelo, including Modelo’s interest in MMI. Following negotiations with ABI, MCC consented to change the effective termination date of the agreement from January 1, 2018, to February 28, 2014, upon successful close and completion of the transition period, at which time MCC would receive payment from Modelo for the early termination of the original agreement. In conjunction with these negotiations, ABI also agreed that we will continue to represent the Modelo brands in the U.K. and Japan through the end of 2014.
The transition period was successfully completed on February 28, 2014, at which time we recognized income of $63.2 million (CAD 70.0 million) within special items, reflective of the agreed upon payment received from Modelo. Additionally, we recorded a charge of $4.9 million representing the accelerated amortization of the remaining carrying value of our definite-lived intangible asset associated with the agreement. In accordance with the termination agreement, MMI continued to operate in its historical capacity through the end of the transition period. Effective end of day on February 28, 2014, MMI ceased all operations and was dissolved during the third quarter of 2014 upon final agreement with ABI on the distribution amount of the joint venture's remaining net assets. As a result, our results for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, reflect our proportionate ownership interest of the MMI activity during the first quarter of 2014 through end of day February 28, 2014. Under the MMI arrangement, we recognized equity earnings within cost of goods sold of $0.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, and $3.9 million and $9.0 million during the three and nine months ended September 28, 2013, respectively. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, and three and nine months ended September 28, 2013, MCC recognized marketing and administrative cost recoveries related to the promotion, sale and distribution of Modelo products under our agency and services agreement with MMI of $1.1 million, $3.1 million and $8.8 million, respectively. These cost recoveries are recorded within marketing, general and administrative expenses. As of December 31, 2013, our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet includes our investment in MMI of $21.2 million and an affiliate net payable to MMI of $13.8 million.
In accordance with the early termination agreement, the book value of the joint venture's net assets was required to be distributed to the respective joint venture partners for the owners' proportionate ownership interest at the end of the transition period. This distribution was finalized in the third quarter of 2014. Concurrently, we derecognized our equity investment within other non-current assets upon full recovery of our investment carrying value.

	Share-Based Payments
	During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, and September 28, 2013, we recognized share-based compensation expense related to the following Class B common stock awards to certain directors, officers and other eligible employees, pursuant to the MCBC Incentive Compensation Plan ("Incentive Compensation Plan"): restricted stock units ("RSU"), deferred stock units ("DSU"), performance share units ("PSU"), performance units ("PU") and stock options. The settlement amount of the PSUs is determined based on market and performance metrics, which include our total shareholder return performance relative to the S&P 500 and specified internal performance metrics designed to drive greater shareholder return. PSU compensation expense is based on a fair value assigned to the market metric using a Monte Carlo model, which will remain constant throughout the vesting period of three years, and a performance multiplier, which will vary due to changing estimates of the performance metric condition.
	The following table summarizes share-based compensation expense:


		Three Months Ended								Nine Months Ended

	After-tax compensation expense	$	4.3			$	2.4			$	12.5		$	13.3
	As of September 30, 2014, there was $26.4 million of total unrecognized compensation cost from all share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Incentive Compensation Plan, related to unvested shares. This compensation expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.2 years.
	The following table represents the summary of stock options and stock-only stock appreciation rights ("SOSAR") outstanding as of September 30, 2014, and the activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2014:

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, and September 28, 2013, cash received from stock option exercises was $38.5 million and $74.9 million, respectively, and the total excess tax benefit from these stock option exercises and other awards was $6.6 million and $6.0 million, respectively.

	The weighted-average fair value per unit for the non-vested PSUs is $58.83 as of September 30, 2014.
	The fair value of each option granted in the first three quarters of 2014 and 2013 was determined on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:


		Nine Months Ended
		September 30, 2014		September 28, 2013
	Risk-free interest rate	2.29%		1.43%
	Dividend yield	2.57%		2.88%
	Volatility range	22.66%-26.57%		22.39%-25.90%
	Weighted-average volatility	25.59%		25.02%
	Expected term (years)	7.5		7.7
	Weighted-average fair market value	$12.78		$8.39
	The risk-free interest rates utilized for periods throughout the contractual life of the stock options are based on a zero-coupon U.S. Treasury security yield at the time of grant. Expected volatility is based on a combination of historical and implied volatility of our stock. The expected term of stock options is estimated based upon observations of historical employee option exercise patterns and trends of those employees granted options in the respective year.
	The fair value of the market metric for each PSU granted in the first three quarters of 2014 and 2013 was determined on the date of grant using a Monte Carlo model to simulate total shareholder return for MCBC and peer companies with the following weighted-average assumptions:


	Nine Months Ended
	September 30, 2014		September 28, 2013
Risk-free interest rate	0.72%		0.33%
Dividend yield	2.57%		2.88%
Volatility range	12.45%-72.41%		12.18%-69.37%
Weighted-average volatility	21.72%		21.13%
Expected term (years)	2.8		2.8
Weighted-average fair market value	$58.69		$43.10
The risk-free interest rates utilized for periods throughout the expected term of the PSUs are based on a zero-coupon U.S. Treasury security yield at the time of grant. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of our stock as well as the stock of our peer firms, as shown within the volatility range above, for a period from the grant date consistent with the expected term. The expected term of PSUs is calculated based on the grant date to the end of the performance period.
As of September 30, 2014, there were 7.4 million shares of the Company's Class B common stock available for issuance as awards under the Incentive Compensation Plan.
On July 24, 2014, Peter Swinburn, the Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company, informed the Corporate Secretary and the Board of Directors of the Company of his intention to retire as Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company and as a member of the Board effective December 31, 2014. In addition, on July 24, 2014, the Board appointed Mark Hunter as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and President to replace Mr. Swinburn effective on January 1, 2015. Mr. Hunter currently serves as Chief Executive Officer and President of Molson Coors Europe. Mr. Hunter will also serve as a member of the Board effective January 1, 2015. We do not anticipate a significant impact to our results, specifically related to share-based compensation expense, as a result of this change.

	-1	During the third quarter of 2014, we recognized an impairment charge related to our definite-lived intangible asset associated with our license agreement with Miller in Canada. See Note 15, "Commitments and Contingencies" for further discussion. Additionally, upon termination of our MMI operations in the first quarter of 2014, we recognized charges associated with the write-off of the definite-lived intangible asset associated with the joint venture. See Note 4, "Investments" for further discussion.

	-2	During the third quarters of 2014 and 2013, we recognized impairment charges related to indefinite-lived intangible assets in Europe. See Note 10, "Goodwill and Intangible Assets" for further discussion.

	-3	During 2009, we established a non-income-related tax reserve of $10.4 million that was recorded as a special item. In the first quarter of 2013, the remaining outstanding amount of this non-income-related tax reserve was fully released.

	-4	During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, we recorded losses and related costs of $0.4 million and $2.2 million, respectively, in our Europe business associated with significant flooding in Serbia, Bosnia, and Croatia that occurred in the second quarter of 2014. These losses were offset by insurance proceeds of $3.9 million recorded in the third quarter of 2014 related to flooding in the second quarter of 2014. During the three and nine months ended September 28, 2013, we recorded losses and related costs of $2.6 million and $5.9 million, respectively, in our Europe business related to significant flooding in Czech Republic in the second quarter of 2013. These losses were partially offset for the nine months ended September 28, 2013, by $3.3 million insurance proceeds received in the second quarter of 2013.
	Restructuring Activities
	In 2012, we introduced several initiatives focused on increasing our efficiencies and reducing costs across all functions of the business in order to develop a more competitive supply chain and global cost structure. Included in these initiatives is a long-term focus on reducing labor and general overhead costs through restructuring activities. We view these restructuring activities as actions to allow us to meet our long-term growth targets by generating future cost savings within cost of goods sold and general and administrative expenses and include organizational changes that strengthen our business and accelerate efficiencies within our operational structure. As a result of these restructuring activities, we have reduced headcount and consequently recognized severance and other employee-related charges, which we have recorded as special items. As we continually evaluate our cost structure and seek opportunities for further efficiencies and cost savings, we may incur additional restructuring related charges in the future; however, we are unable to estimate the amount of charges at this time.
	The accrued restructuring balances represent expected future cash payments required to satisfy the remaining severance obligations to terminated employees, the majority of which we expect to be paid in the next 12-24 months. The table below summarizes the activity in the restructuring accruals by segment:

	Income Tax
	Our effective tax rates for the third quarter of 2014 and 2013 were approximately negative 2% and positive 22%, respectively. For the first three quarters of 2014 and 2013, our effective tax rates were approximately 9% and 14%, respectively. The effective tax rates for the third quarter and first three quarters of 2013 have been adjusted to reflect the impact of the change in interim accounting for advertising expenses. See Note 1, "Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" for further discussion. Our effective tax rates were significantly lower than the federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to lower statutory income tax rates applicable to our Canada and Europe businesses, tax planning strategies, as well as the impact of discrete items further discussed below. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2014, decreased versus the three months ended September 28, 2013, primarily due to lower pretax income in 2014 driven by the brand impairment charges in Europe, and increased net discrete tax benefits recognized in the current year as compared to 2013. Our total net discrete tax benefit was $8.2 million in the third quarter of 2014, which primarily resulted from the release of a noncurrent unrecognized tax position as further discussed below. In April 2014, we finalized our advanced pricing agreement between the U.S. and Canada tax authorities. The implementation of our new agreement and reversal of the related unrecognized tax benefits resulted in an income tax benefit of approximately $21 million, which was recognized discretely in the second quarter of 2014.
	During the second quarter of 2014, we identified that we had incorrectly omitted uncertain tax positions related to fiscal year 2010 that resulted in an immaterial misstatement of unrecognized tax benefits and retained earnings within the consolidated balance sheets included in our Annual Report. We have revised our current presentation of these amounts to correct for this error, which resulted in an increase in current unrecognized tax benefits of $19.3 million and noncurrent unrecognized tax benefits of $14.4 million as of December 31, 2013. During the third quarter of 2014, we filed an amendment to certain historical tax returns and concurrently fully settled the current unrecognized tax benefit resulting from this adjustment. Additionally, upon expiration of certain statutes of limitations during the quarter, we released a portion of the noncurrent unrecognized tax benefit adjustment, which resulted in a $6.3 million discrete benefit to our current income tax expense. The remainder of the noncurrent unrecognized tax benefits is reflected in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2014. These noncurrent items relate to tax years that are currently open, and amounts may differ from those to be determined upon closing of the positions. See Note 1, "Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" for further information.
	Our tax rate is volatile and may move up or down with changes in, among other things, the amount and source of income or loss, our ability to utilize foreign tax credits, changes in tax laws, and the movement of liabilities established for uncertain tax positions as statutes of limitations expire or positions are otherwise effectively settled. There are proposed or pending tax law changes in various jurisdictions that, if enacted, may have an impact on our effective tax rate.
	As of September 30, 2014, and December 31, 2013, we had unrecognized tax benefits including interest, penalties and offsetting positions of $52.1 million and $149.6 million, respectively. The September 30, 2014, balance excludes unrecognized tax benefits that are presented as a reduction of deferred tax assets as a result of the first quarter 2014 adoption of the recently issued guidance related to the presentation of these items. See Note 2, "New Accounting Pronouncements" for further discussion. The decrease to our unrecognized tax benefits on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets from December 31, 2013, to September 30, 2014, was due to the favorable resolution of unrecognized tax positions, the settlement of unrecognized tax benefits resulting from the amended tax returns, the release of unrecognized tax benefits due to expiration of the statute of limitations, and the reclassification of certain unrecognized tax benefits as a result of the adoption of the recently issued guidance mentioned above.

	Earnings Per Share
	Basic earnings per share ("EPS") was computed using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS includes the additional dilutive effect of our potentially dilutive securities, which includes stock options, SOSARs, RSUs, PUs, PSUs and DSUs. The dilutive effects of our potentially dilutive securities are calculated using the treasury stock method. The following summarizes the effect of dilutive securities on diluted EPS:

	-1	Amounts have been adjusted to reflect the change in interim accounting for advertising expenses. See Note 1, "Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" for further discussion.

	-2	Due to the anti-dilutive effect resulting from the reported net loss from continuing operations, the impact of potentially dilutive securities has been omitted from the quarterly calculation of weighted-average shares for diluted EPS for the third quarter of 2014. The impact of these potentially dilutive securities has been included in the calculation of weighted-average shares for diluted EPS for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.
	Additionally, the sum of the quarterly net income per share amounts may not agree to the full year net income per share amounts. We calculate net income per share based on the weighted average number of outstanding shares during the period for each reporting period presented. The average number of shares fluctuates throughout the year and can therefore produce a full year result that does not agree to the sum of the individual quarters.
	The following anti-dilutive securities were excluded from the computation of the effect of dilutive securities on diluted earnings per share:


		Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended

	Convertible Notes
	In June 2007, we issued $575 million Convertible Senior Notes ("$575 million convertible bonds") due July 2013. On July 30, 2013, these notes matured and were repaid for their face value of $575 million. The required premium payment was settled in cash and entirely offset by the cash proceeds received from the settlement of the call options we purchased in 2007 related to these notes. As a result, these notes and related call options did not impact our shares outstanding. Additionally, the potential impacts of these notes and related call options had no impact on diluted income per share for any period in which they were outstanding. Simultaneously with the issuance of these notes, we issued warrants which began expiring in December 2013 and the final warrants expired February 6, 2014, all of which were out-of-the-money upon settlement. The potential impacts of these warrants had no impact on diluted income per share and were excluded from the computation of the effect of dilutive securities on diluted earnings per share for all periods during which they were outstanding.
	In June 2012, we issued a €500 million Zero Coupon Senior Unsecured Convertible Note ("€500 million convertible note"). On August 13, 2013, the embedded put option was exercised and we subsequently settled the note using cash. See Note 11, "Debt" for further discussion. As a result, the €500 million convertible note did not impact our shares outstanding and was excluded from the computation of the effect of diluted securities on diluted earnings per share for all periods presented.

	The changes in the gross carrying amounts of intangibles from December 31, 2013, to September 30, 2014, are primarily driven by the impact of foreign exchange rates, as a significant amount of intangibles are denominated in foreign currencies, and the intangible impairments recorded in the third quarter of 2014, as discussed below. Additionally, upon termination of MMI operations in the first quarter of 2014, we accelerated the amortization of the remaining $4.9 million net carrying value of the related definite-lived intangible asset and wrote-off its gross value of $40.5 million. See Note 4, "Investments" for further discussion.
	Based on foreign exchange rates as of September 30, 2014, the estimated future amortization expense of intangible assets is as follows:


Fiscal year	Amount
	(In millions)
2014 - remaining	$	8.7

2015	$	28.2

2016	$	26

2017	$	13.4

2018	$	11.6

Intangible asset amortization expense was $10.1 million and $12.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014, and September 28, 2013, respectively, and $31.1 million and $35.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, and September 28, 2013, respectively. This expense is presented within marketing, general and administrative expenses and excludes the accelerated amortization recognized for the write-off of the intangible asset associated with the termination of MMI operations in the first quarter of 2014. See Note 4, "Investments" for further discussion.
We completed our required 2014 annual goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible impairment testing as of July 1, 2014, the first day of our fiscal year 2014 third quarter, and concluded there were no impairments of goodwill within our Europe, Canada or India reporting units or impairments of our indefinite-lived intangible assets, with the exception of the Jelen and Ozujsko brand intangibles as discussed below.
Reporting Units and Goodwill
The operations in each of the specific regions within our Canada, Europe and MCI segments are considered components based on the availability of discrete financial information and the regular review by segment management. We have concluded that the components within the Canada and Europe segments each meet the criteria as having similar economic characteristics and therefore have aggregated these components into the Canada and Europe reporting units, respectively. Additionally, we determined that the components within our MCI segment do not meet the criteria for aggregation, and therefore, the operations of our India business constitute a separate reporting unit at the component level.
Our 2014 annual goodwill impairment testing determined that our Europe and Canada reporting units were at risk of failing step one of the goodwill impairment test. Specifically, the fair value of the Europe and Canada reporting units were estimated at approximately 15% and 14% in excess of carrying value, respectively, as of the testing date. Prior to recognizing the brand impairments discussed below, the excess of the fair value over the carrying value of the Europe reporting unit declined from the prior year. The decrease was driven by challenging macroeconomic conditions in Europe negatively impacting our business, as well as declines in the forecasts of certain European brands, which have been adversely impacted by the expected prolonged recovery from recent flooding and an accelerated consumer trend to value brands. These impacts were partially offset by improvements to market multiples. The Canada reporting unit had a marginal decrease from the prior year primarily due to continued competitive pressures and economic weakness in the Canadian market, partially offset by improved market multiples.
Indefinite-Lived Intangibles
In 2014, our annual indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment testing determined that the fair values of the Jelen and Ozujsko indefinite-lived brand intangibles within our Europe segment were below their respective carrying values. As a result, we recorded an aggregate impairment charge of $360.0 million within special items in the third quarter of 2014. The impairment of the Jelen brand was driven by ongoing macroeconomic challenges exacerbated by severe flooding in the Balkans region in the second quarter of 2014. This flooding caused significant damage to the infrastructure within the Serbian and Bosnian markets, for which Jelen is our primary brand, which resulted in a decrease in the brand's projected cash flows. We have analyzed the potential impact of the flood to these markets and have incorporated a prolonged recovery in our projected cash flows based on recent assessments of the recovery efforts and resulting macroeconomic effects to the region. Additionally, the aftermath of the flood has further contributed to an already challenging market and has led to an acceleration of the consumer trend toward value brands. The impairment of the Ozujsko brand was driven by the continued significant economic pressures in Croatia, Ozujsko's primary market, which resulted in a decline in the brand's projected cash flows. The macroeconomic environment has driven low realized and expected GDP growth and was worsened by the previously mentioned flooding during Croatia's peak tourism season, along with the flooding in Bosnia, discussed above, where Ozujsko is also sold. These lower projected cash flows have lagged previously made assumptions based on forecasted macroeconomic recoveries, resulting in the impairments. The remaining Europe indefinite-lived intangibles' fair values, including Staropramen and Carling brands, while facing similar macroeconomic challenges, were sufficiently in excess of their respective carrying values, with the exception of Niksicko. Specifically, the performance of Niksicko, our primary brand in Montenegro, is also dependent on the Serbian and Bosnian markets and is facing similar challenges to those discussed above. As each of Jelen and Ozujsko's fair values is equal to its carrying value as of the July 1, 2014, impairment testing date, these brands, along with Niksicko, are therefore at risk of future impairment, as any additional decline in their forecasted future cash flows may result in a decrease to the fair value of the brand over its respective carrying value. As of September 30, 2014, these at-risk intangible assets had an aggregate carrying value of $867.9 million.
Separately, our Molson core brand intangible continues to be at risk of future impairment with a fair value estimated at approximately 11% in excess of its carrying value as of the impairment testing date. Although the fair value of the Molson core brands in excess of carrying value increased slightly from the prior year, they continue to face significant competitive pressures and challenging macroeconomic conditions in the Canada market. These challenges continue to be offset by anticipated cost savings initiatives, which resulted in a slight increase in the brand fair value in excess of carrying value from our prior year valuation. As of September 30, 2014, the Molson core brand intangible had a carrying value of $2,711.1 million.

We utilized Level 3 fair value measurements in our impairment analysis of our indefinite-lived intangible assets, which utilizes an excess earnings approach to determine the fair values of the assets as of the testing date. The future cash flows used in the analysis are based on internal cash flow projections based on our long range plans and include significant assumptions by management as noted below.

Key Assumptions
The Europe and Canada reporting units' goodwill, the Molson core brand intangible, and certain indefinite-lived brand intangibles within Europe are at risk of future impairment in the event of significant unfavorable changes in the forecasted cash flows (including significant delays in projected macroeconomic recovery, greater-than-anticipated flood impacts to certain regions' performance, or prolonged adverse economic conditions), terminal growth rates, market multiples and/or weighted-average cost of capital utilized in the discounted cash flow analyses. For testing purposes, management's best estimates of the expected future results are the primary driver in determining the fair value. Current projections used for our Europe reporting unit and indefinite-lived intangible assets testing reflect continued challenging environments in the future followed by growth resulting from a longer term recovery of the macroeconomic environment, as well as the benefit of anticipated cost savings and specific brand-building and innovation activities. Our Canada reporting unit and Molson core brand projections also reflect a continued challenging environment that has been adversely impacted by a weak economy across all industries, as well as weakened consumer demand driven by increased competitive pressures, partially offset by anticipated cost savings and specific brand-building and innovation activities. Fair value determinations require considerable judgment and are sensitive to changes in underlying assumptions and factors. As a result, there can be no assurance that the estimates and assumptions made for purposes of the 2014 annual goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible impairment test will prove to be an accurate prediction of the future. Examples of events or circumstances that could reasonably be expected to negatively affect the underlying key assumptions and ultimately impact the estimated fair value of our Canada and Europe reporting units, Molson core brand, and the at-risk European brands (Jelen, Ozujsko and Niksicko) may include such items as: (i) a decrease in expected future cash flows, specifically, a decrease in sales volume and increase in costs due to another natural disaster or other unknown event that could significantly impact our immediate and long-range results, a decrease in sales volume driven by a prolonged weakness in consumer demand or other competitive pressures adversely affecting our long term volume trends, a continuation of the trend away from core brands towards value brands in certain of our markets, especially in markets where our core brands represent a significant portion of the market, unfavorable working capital changes and an inability to successfully achieve our cost savings targets, (ii) an economic recovery that significantly differs from our assumptions in timing and/or degree (such as a recession or continued worsening of the overall European economy), an inability of the market to successfully recover from the recent severe flooding in several of our Central European markets, (iii) volatility in the equity and debt markets which could result in a higher discount rate; and (iv) sensitivity to market multiples.
While historical performance and current expectations have resulted in fair values of our reporting units in excess of carrying values, if our assumptions are not realized, it is possible that an impairment charge may need to be recorded in the future.
Definite-Lived Intangibles
Regarding definite-lived intangibles, we continuously monitor the performance of the underlying asset for potential triggering events suggesting an impairment review should be performed. No such triggering events were identified in the third quarter of 2014, with the exception of the settlement with Miller in Canada, which resulted in a $8.9 million impairment charge of our definite-lived intangible asset related to our license agreement. As of September 30, 2014, the intangible has a remaining carrying value of $18.8 million, primarily indicative of the settlement amount, as well as the remaining future cash flows expected to be generated under the license agreement through March 31, 2015, which will be amortized over the remaining life of the agreement. We utilized Level 3 fair value measurements in our impairment analysis of this definite-lived intangible asset, which include cash flow assumptions by management related to the transition period. See Note 15, "Commitments and Contingencies" for further discussion.

	-1	On June 15, 2012, we issued a €500 million convertible note due December 31, 2013, which included a put conversion feature to the Seller. On August 13, 2013, the conversion feature was exercised for an agreed value upon exercise of €510.9 million, consisting of €500 million in principal and €10.9 million for the conversion feature.
	On September 3, 2013, we paid the Seller in cash a total of €466.0 million ($614.7 million) consisting of €455.1 million ($600.3 million) in principal and €10.9 million ($14.4 million) for the conversion feature. Separate from the Seller's notice to put, we had made claims with regard to the representations and warranties provided to us upon close of the Acquisition related to local country regulatory matters associated with pre-acquisition periods. As of December 31, 2013, we had withheld €44.9 million ($61.8 million) from the €500 million in principal related to these outstanding claims. During the first half of 2014, we released the €44.9 million ($61.4 million at settlement) withheld to the Seller as a result of the settlement of these claims. We did not incur any interest on amounts withheld.
	The €500 million convertible note's embedded conversion feature was determined to meet the definition of a derivative required to be bifurcated and separately accounted for at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings. During the three and nine months ended September 28, 2013, we recognized a net gain of $20.3 million and a net loss of $6.5 million, respectively, related to changes in the fair value of the conversion feature. The cash and non-cash interest, excluding the change in fair value of the convertible feature, resulted in an immaterial impact to our effective interest rate for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2013.

	-2	In the second and third quarters of 2014, we entered into interest rate swaps to economically convert our fixed rate $500 million 3.5% notes due 2022 ("$500 million notes") to floating rate debt. This resulted in an effective interest rate of 1.41% and 2.74%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively. As a result of this hedge program, the carrying value of the $500 million note includes a $3.4 million adjustment for fair value movements attributable to the benchmark interest rate. See Note 13, "Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" for further details.

	-3	During the second quarter of 2014, we entered into a five-year, $750 million revolving multi-currency credit facility, which provides a $100 million sub-facility available for the issuance of letters of credit. This facility replaced our existing $400 million and $550 million revolving credit facilities, which had maturities in the second quarters of 2015 and 2016, respectively, and reduced the size of our existing commercial paper program to a maximum aggregate amount outstanding at any time of $750 million. Concurrent with the transaction, we incurred $1.8 million of issuance costs which are being amortized over the term of the agreement and recognized $1.3 million of accelerated amortization related to the termination of the pre-existing facilities. As of September 30, 2014, we have $588.6 million available to draw on under our $750 million revolving credit facility, as the borrowing capacity is reduced by borrowings under our commercial paper program discussed below.

	-4	As of September 30, 2014, and December 31, 2013, the weighted average effective interest rate and tenor for the outstanding commercial paper borrowings was 0.32%; 29.1 days and 0.49%; 47.2 days, respectively.

	-5	As of September 30, 2014, we had $111.5 million in bank overdrafts and $139.4 million in bank cash related to our European notional cross-border, cross-currency cash pool for a net positive position of $27.9 million. As of December 31, 2013, we did not have bank overdrafts related to the cash pool.

	-6	During the third quarter of 2014, our revolving credit facility that supports the operations of our Europe segment was amended to extend the maturity date by one year and to reduce the facility commitment from €150 million to €100 million on an uncommitted basis through September 2015. Fees associated with this amendment were immaterial. In addition to our EUR revolving credit facility and JPY line of credit, we have British Pound ("GBP") and CAD overdraft facilities which we had no borrowings under as of September 30, 2014, and December 31, 2013.
	Debt Fair Value Measurements
We utilize market approaches to estimate the fair value of certain outstanding borrowings by discounting anticipated future cash flows derived from the contractual terms of the obligations and observable market interest and foreign exchange rates. As of September 30, 2014, and December 31, 2013, the fair value of our outstanding long-term debt (including current portion) was $3,226.8 million and $3,359.1 million, respectively. All senior notes are valued based on significant observable inputs and would be classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The carrying values of all other outstanding long-term borrowings and our short-term borrowings approximate their fair values and are also classified as Level 2.
Other
Under the terms of each of our debt facilities, we must comply with certain restrictions. These include restrictions on priority indebtedness (certain threshold percentages of secured consolidated net tangible assets), leverage thresholds, liens, and restrictions on certain types of sale lease-back transactions and transfers of assets. As of September 30, 2014, and December 31, 2013, we were in compliance with all of these restrictions and have met all debt payment obligations.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]	'
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities	'
	Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
	Our risk management and derivative accounting policies are presented in Notes 1 and 17 of the Notes included in our Annual Report and did not significantly change during the first three quarters of 2014. As noted in Note 17 of the Notes included in our Annual Report, due to the nature of our counterparty agreements, and the fact that we are not subject to master netting arrangements, we are not able to net positions with the same counterparty and therefore present our derivative positions gross in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Our significant derivative/hedge positions have not changed significantly since year-end, except as noted below.
	Interest Rate Swaps
	In the second and third quarter of 2014, we entered into interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional of $500 million to economically convert our fixed rate $500 million 3.5% notes due in 2022 ("$500 million notes") to floating rate debt. We will receive fixed interest payments semi-annually at a rate of 3.5% per annum and pay a rate to our counterparties based on a credit spread plus the three month LIBOR rate, thereby effectively exchanging a fixed interest obligation for a floating interest obligation.
	We entered into these interest rate swap agreements to minimize exposure to changes in the fair value of our $500 million notes that results from fluctuations in the benchmark interest rate, specifically LIBOR, and have designated these swaps as fair value hedges and determined that there is zero ineffectiveness. The changes in fair value of derivatives designated as fair value hedges and the offsetting changes in fair value of the hedged item are recognized in earnings. For each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the changes in fair value of the interest rate swaps and the offsetting changes in fair value of the $500 million notes attributable to the benchmark interest rate were unrealized gains of $2.2 million and $3.4 million, respectively, both recorded in interest expense in our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2014, such adjustments had increased the carrying value of our $500 million notes by $3.4 million. See Note 11, "Debt" for additional details.
	Forward Starting Interest Rate Swaps
	In the second quarter of 2014, we began to enter into forward starting interest rate swaps to manage our exposure to the volatility of the interest rates associated with future interest payments on a forecasted debt issuance. As of September 30, 2014, we had entered into swap agreements having a total notional of CAD 280 million and a weighted average fixed interest rate of 2.92%. Subsequent to September 30, 2014, we entered into additional forward starting interest rate swaps totaling CAD 80 million and we intend to enter into multiple additional forward starting interest rate swaps up to the date of the forecasted issuance. The forward starting interest rate swaps have an effective date of September 2015 and a termination date of September 2025 mirroring the terms of the forecasted debt issuance. Under the agreements we are required to early terminate these swaps in 2015 at the time we expect to issue the forecasted debt. We have designated these contracts as cash flow hedges.
	Cross Currency Swaps
	In the first quarter of 2014, we early settled the final remaining CAD 241 million notional of our outstanding currency swaps designated as a net investment hedge of our Canadian operations for $65.2 million. As of September 30, 2014, we do not have any cross currency swap positions outstanding.
	Derivative Fair Value Measurements
	We utilize market approaches to estimate the fair value of our derivative instruments by discounting anticipated future cash flows derived from the derivative's contractual terms and observable market interest, foreign exchange and commodity rates. The fair values of our derivatives also include credit risk adjustments to account for our counterparties' credit risk, as well as our own non-performance risk. The table below summarizes our derivative assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value as of September 30, 2014, and December 31, 2013.

We expect net gains of approximately $13 million (pretax) recorded in AOCI at September 30, 2014, will be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months. For derivatives designated in cash flow hedge relationships, the maximum length of time over which forecasted transactions are hedged at September 30, 2014, is 3 years.

	Discontinued Operations
	Kaiser
	In 2006, we sold our entire equity interest in our Brazilian unit, Cervejarias Kaiser Brasil S.A. ("Kaiser") to FEMSA Cerveza S.A. de C.V. ("FEMSA"). The terms of the sale agreement require us to indemnify FEMSA for exposures related to certain tax, civil and labor contingencies arising prior to FEMSA's purchase of Kaiser. In addition, we provided an indemnity to FEMSA for losses Kaiser may incur with respect to tax claims associated with certain previously utilized purchased tax credits. The discontinued operations balances within the current and non-current liabilities of our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets consist entirely of our estimates of these liabilities. These liabilities are denominated in Brazilian Reais and are therefore subject to foreign exchange gains or losses, which are recognized in the discontinued operations section of the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations. There have been no changes in the underlying liabilities from the year ended December 31, 2013; therefore, all changes in the current and non-current liabilities of discontinued operations during the first three quarters of 2014 are due to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates from December 31, 2013, to September 30, 2014. During the three months ended September 30, 2014, and September 28, 2013, we recognized gains of $1.3 million and $0.9 million, respectively, from discontinued operations associated with foreign exchange gains and losses related to indemnities we provided to FEMSA. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, and September 28, 2013, we recognized losses of $0.4 million and gains of $1.7 million, respectively. Our exposure related to the tax, civil and labor indemnity claims is capped at the amount of the sales price of the 68% equity interest of Kaiser, which was $68.0 million. Separately, the maximum potential claims amount remaining for the purchased tax credits was $143.0 million based on foreign exchange rates as of September 30, 2014.
	Future settlement procedures and related negotiation activities associated with these contingencies are largely outside of our control. Due to the uncertainty involved with the ultimate outcome and timing of these contingencies, significant adjustments to the carrying values of the indemnity obligations have been recorded to date, and additional future adjustments may be required.
	Guarantees
	We guarantee indebtedness and other obligations to banks and other third parties for some of our equity method investments and consolidated subsidiaries. Related to our previous ownership in the Montréal Canadiens, we guarantee its obligations under a ground lease for the Bell Centre Arena (the "Ground Lease Guarantee"). Upon sale of our interest, the new owners agreed to indemnify us in connection with the liabilities we may incur under the Ground Lease Guarantee and provided us with a CAD 10 million letter of credit to guarantee such indemnity. This transaction did not materially affect our risk exposure related to the Ground Lease Guarantee, which continues to be recognized as a liability on our consolidated balance sheets.
	Related to guarantees, other liabilities in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets include $5.5 million as of September 30, 2014, and $5.8 million as of December 31, 2013, both of which are non-current.
	Litigation, Other Disputes and Environmental
	Related to litigation, other disputes and environmental issues, we have accrued an aggregate of $17.1 million as of September 30, 2014, and $14.0 million as of December 31, 2013. We believe that any reasonably possible losses in excess of the amounts accrued are immaterial to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
	In addition to the specific cases discussed below, we are involved in other disputes and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of our business. While it is not feasible to predict or determine the outcome of these proceedings, in our opinion, based on a review with legal counsel, none of these disputes or legal actions is expected to have a material impact on our business, consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business.
	During the fourth quarter of 2014, we received an assessment from a local country regulatory authority related to our Europe operations over the prior 24 months for approximately $66 million, based on foreign exchange rates at September 30, 2014. While we intend to vigorously challenge the validity of the assessment and defend our position, if the assessment, as issued, is ultimately upheld it could materially affect our results of operations. We estimate a range of loss of zero to $66 million, based on foreign exchange rates at September 30, 2014.
	In 2013 we became aware of potential liabilities in several European countries primarily related to local country regulatory matters associated with pre-Acquisition periods. We recorded liabilities related to these matters in the second quarter of 2013 as we finalized purchase price accounting related to the Acquisition. During the first quarter of 2014, these matters were favorably resolved and we released the associated indirect-tax and income-tax-related reserves, inclusive of post-Acquisition accrued interest, resulting in a gain of $13.0 million recorded within marketing, general and administrative expenses and an income tax benefit of $18.5 million. As a result of the resolution, in the first quarter of 2014, we released amounts previously withheld with regard to these matters to the Seller. See Note 11, "Debt" for further discussion.
	While we cannot predict the eventual aggregate cost for environmental and related matters in which we are currently involved, we believe that any payments, if required, for these matters would be made over a period of time in amounts that would not be material in any one year to our results from operations, cash flows or our financial or competitive position. We believe adequate reserves have been provided for losses that are probable and estimable.
	Litigation and Other Disputes
	In December 2012, Miller Brewing Company (“Miller”) orally informed us of its intent to terminate the license agreement between Miller and us whereby we have exclusive rights to distribute certain Miller products in Canada (the “License Agreement”). We subsequently filed a lawsuit in Ontario, Canada (Molson Canada 2005 v. Miller Brewing Company, Sup. Ct. of Justice-Ontario, CV-12-470589) and on June 20, 2013, were granted an injunction preventing Miller's termination of the License Agreement, pending a trial on the merits. During the third quarter of 2014, in advance of the scheduled trial date in early November 2014, we continued private settlement discussions and on October 9, 2014, executed a settlement agreement with Miller. Pursuant to the terms of the settlement, we will continue to operate under the License Agreement until March 31, 2015, at which time all of our operations with regards to the Miller brands in Canada will terminate. We received half of the mutually agreed upon settlement payment following the execution of the settlement and will receive the remainder upon transition at the end of the first quarter of 2015.
	In the third quarter of 2014, we updated our assessment of the associated definite-lived intangible asset for impairment. The analysis, primarily factoring in the settlement payments, resulted in a valuation of $18.8 million for the definite-lived intangible asset, resulting in a non-cash impairment charge of $8.9 million recorded as a special item within our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. The carrying value as of September 30, 2014, following the impairment, is indicative of the settlement amount plus the remaining future cash flows expected to be generated under the License Agreement through March 31, 2015. We recognized net sales related to the License Agreement of $23.6 million and $25.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014, and September 28, 2013, respectively, and net sales of $63.0 million and $72.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, and September 28, 2013, respectively.
	Environmental
	Canada
	Our Canada brewing operations are subject to provincial environmental regulations and local permit requirements. Our Montréal and Toronto breweries have water treatment facilities to pre-treat waste water before it goes to the respective local governmental facility for final treatment. We have environmental programs in Canada including organization, monitoring and verification, regulatory compliance, reporting, education and training, and corrective action.
	We sold a chemical specialties business in 1996. We are still responsible for certain aspects of environmental remediation, undertaken or planned, at those chemical specialties business locations. We have established provisions for the costs of these remediation programs.
	United States
	We were previously notified that we are or may be a potentially responsible party ("PRP") under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act or similar state laws for the cleanup of sites where hazardous substances have allegedly been released into the environment. We cannot predict with certainty the total costs of cleanup, our share of the total cost, the extent to which contributions will be available from other parties, the amount of time necessary to complete the cleanups or insurance coverage.
	Lowry
	We are one of a number of entities named by the Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") as a PRP at the Lowry Superfund site. This landfill is owned by the City and County of Denver ("Denver") and is managed by Waste Management of Colorado, Inc. ("Waste Management"). In 1990, we recorded a pretax charge of $30 million, a portion of which was put into a trust in 1993 as part of a settlement with Denver and Waste Management regarding the then-outstanding litigation. Our settlement was based on an assumed remediation cost of $120 million (in 1992 adjusted dollars). We are obligated to pay a portion of future costs, if any, in excess of that amount.
	Waste Management provides us with updated annual cost estimates through 2032. We review these cost estimates in the assessment of our accrual related to this issue. We use certain assumptions that differ from Waste Management's estimates to assess our expected liability. Our expected liability (based on the $120 million threshold being met) is based on our best estimates available.
	The assumptions used are as follows:

	•	trust management costs are included in projections with regard to the $120 million threshold, but are expensed only as incurred;

	•	income taxes, which we believe are not an included cost, are excluded from projections with regard to the $120 million threshold;

	•	a 2.5% inflation rate for future costs; and

	•	certain operations and maintenance costs were discounted using a 2.87% risk-free rate of return.
	Based on these assumptions, the present value and gross amount of the costs at September 30, 2014, are approximately $2.2 million and $5.3 million, respectively. We did not assume any future recoveries from insurance companies in the estimate of our liability, and none are expected.
	Considering the estimates extend through the year 2032 and the related uncertainties at the site, including what additional remedial actions may be required by the EPA, new technologies and what costs are included in the determination of when the $120 million is reached, the estimate of our liability may change as further facts develop. We cannot predict the amount of any such change, but additional accruals in the future are possible.
	Other
	In prior years, we were notified by the EPA and certain state environmental divisions that we are a PRP, along with other parties, at the Cooper Drum site in southern California, the East Rutherford and Berry's Creek sites in New Jersey and the Chamblee and Smyrna sites in Georgia. Certain former non-beer business operations, which we discontinued use of and sold (excluding the property of the former Chamblee site) in the mid-1990s, were involved at these sites. Potential losses associated with these sites could increase as remediation planning progresses.
	We are aware of groundwater contamination at some of our properties in Colorado resulting from historical, ongoing, or nearby activities. There may also be other contamination of which we are currently unaware.
	Europe and MCI
	We are subject to the requirements of governmental and local environmental and occupational health and safety laws and regulations within each of the countries in which we operate. Compliance with these laws and regulations did not materially affect our third quarter or first three quarters of 2014 capital expenditures, results of operations or our financial or competitive position, and we do not anticipate that they will do so during the remainder of the year.

	Supplemental Guarantor Information
	For purposes of this Note 16, including the tables, "Parent Guarantor and 2012 Issuer" shall mean MCBC and "Subsidiary Guarantors" shall mean certain Canadian, U.S. and European subsidiaries reflecting the substantial operations of each of our Canadian and U.S. segments, as well as our U.K. operations of our European segment.
	SEC Registered Securities
	On May 3, 2012, MCBC issued $1.9 billion of senior notes, in a registered public offering, consisting of $300 million 2.0% senior notes due 2017, $500 million 3.5% senior notes due 2022, and $1.1 billion 5.0% senior notes due 2042. These senior notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Subsidiary Guarantors. Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors is 100% owned by the Parent Guarantor. The guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and several.
	Other Debt
	On September 22, 2005, MC Capital Finance ULC ("MC Capital Finance") issued $1.1 billion of senior notes consisting of $300 million 4.85% U.S. publicly registered notes due 2010 and CAD 900 million 5.0% privately placed notes maturing on September 22, 2015. These CAD 900 million senior notes were subsequently exchanged for substantially identical CAD 900 million senior notes which were quantified by way of a prospectus in Canada. In connection with an internal corporate reorganization, Molson Coors International LP ("MCI LP") was subsequently added as a co-issuer of the CAD 900 million senior notes in 2007. The $300 million senior notes were repaid in 2010. The continuous disclosure requirements applicable to MC Capital Finance in Canada are satisfied through the consolidating financial information in respect of MC Capital Finance, MCI LP and other subsidiary guarantors of the CAD 900 million senior notes as currently presented within the Subsidiary Guarantors column.
	None of our other outstanding debt is publicly registered, and it is all guaranteed on a senior and unsecured basis by the Parent Guarantor and Subsidiary Guarantors. These guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and several. See Note 11, "Debt" for details of all debt issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2014.
	Presentation
	During the second quarter of 2014, we identified an immaterial error related to unrecognized tax benefits in previous years and have revised our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013, to correct for this error. See Note 1, "Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" for further information. We have revised our guarantor condensed consolidating balance sheet as of December 31, 2013 included herein, to reflect the correction of this error and we do not consider the impacts material to the presentation.
	Effective the first quarter of 2014, we changed our interim accounting for advertising expenses and have applied the change to our historical interim periods retrospectively. See Note 1, "Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" for further information. Note that we do not consider the impacts material to the presentation of our interim guarantor condensed consolidating statements of operations or condensed consolidating statement of cash flows.
	The following information sets forth the condensed consolidating statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, and September 28, 2013, condensed consolidating balance sheets as of September 30, 2014, and December 31, 2013, and condensed consolidating statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, and September 28, 2013. Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for under the equity method; accordingly, entries necessary to consolidate the Parent Guarantor and all of our guarantor and non-guarantor subsidiaries are reflected in the eliminations column. In the opinion of management, separate complete financial statements of MCBC and the Subsidiary Guarantors would not provide additional material information that would be useful in assessing their financial composition.

Therefore, the change in interim accounting had no impact on full year consolidated results. Additionally, the quarterly impact to other comprehensive income (loss) related to currency translation on the adjustments has been reflected within the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income included herein.

	The following table shows the impact to income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes by segment as a result of the change in accounting policy for advertising expense. The full impact of this change in presentation is reflected within marketing, general and administrative expenses.

	-1	During the third quarter of 2014, we recognized an impairment charge related to our definite-lived intangible asset associated with our license agreement with Miller in Canada. See Note 15, "Commitments and Contingencies" for further discussion. Additionally, upon termination of our MMI operations in the first quarter of 2014, we recognized charges associated with the write-off of the definite-lived intangible asset associated with the joint venture. See Note 4, "Investments" for further discussion.

	-2	During the third quarters of 2014 and 2013, we recognized impairment charges related to indefinite-lived intangible assets in Europe. See Note 10, "Goodwill and Intangible Assets" for further discussion.

	-3	During 2009, we established a non-income-related tax reserve of $10.4 million that was recorded as a special item. In the first quarter of 2013, the remaining outstanding amount of this non-income-related tax reserve was fully released.

	-4	During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, we recorded losses and related costs of $0.4 million and $2.2 million, respectively, in our Europe business associated with significant flooding in Serbia, Bosnia, and Croatia that occurred in the second quarter of 2014. These losses were offset by insurance proceeds of $3.9 million recorded in the third quarter of 2014 related to flooding in the second quarter of 2014. During the three and nine months ended September 28, 2013, we recorded losses and related costs of $2.6 million and $5.9 million, respectively, in our Europe business related to significant flooding in Czech Republic in the second quarter of 2013. These losses were partially offset for the nine months ended September 28, 2013, by $3.3 million insurance proceeds received in the second quarter of 2013.

	-1	Amounts have been adjusted to reflect the change in interim accounting for advertising expenses. See Note 1, "Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" for further discussion.

	-2	Due to the anti-dilutive effect resulting from the reported net loss from continuing operations, the impact of potentially dilutive securities has been omitted from the quarterly calculation of weighted-average shares for diluted EPS for the third quarter of 2014. The impact of these potentially dilutive securities has been included in the calculation of weighted-average shares for diluted EPS for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.
	Additionally, the sum of the quarterly net income per share amounts may not agree to the full year net income per share amounts. We calculate net income per share based on the weighted average number of outstanding shares during the period for each reporting period presented. The average number of shares fluctuates throughout the year and can therefore produce a full year result that does not agree to the sum of the individual quarters.

	-1	On June 15, 2012, we issued a €500 million convertible note due December 31, 2013, which included a put conversion feature to the Seller. On August 13, 2013, the conversion feature was exercised for an agreed value upon exercise of €510.9 million, consisting of €500 million in principal and €10.9 million for the conversion feature.
	On September 3, 2013, we paid the Seller in cash a total of €466.0 million ($614.7 million) consisting of €455.1 million ($600.3 million) in principal and €10.9 million ($14.4 million) for the conversion feature. Separate from the Seller's notice to put, we had made claims with regard to the representations and warranties provided to us upon close of the Acquisition related to local country regulatory matters associated with pre-acquisition periods. As of December 31, 2013, we had withheld €44.9 million ($61.8 million) from the €500 million in principal related to these outstanding claims. During the first half of 2014, we released the €44.9 million ($61.4 million at settlement) withheld to the Seller as a result of the settlement of these claims. We did not incur any interest on amounts withheld.
	The €500 million convertible note's embedded conversion feature was determined to meet the definition of a derivative required to be bifurcated and separately accounted for at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings. During the three and nine months ended September 28, 2013, we recognized a net gain of $20.3 million and a net loss of $6.5 million, respectively, related to changes in the fair value of the conversion feature. The cash and non-cash interest, excluding the change in fair value of the convertible feature, resulted in an immaterial impact to our effective interest rate for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2013.

	-2	In the second and third quarters of 2014, we entered into interest rate swaps to economically convert our fixed rate $500 million 3.5% notes due 2022 ("$500 million notes") to floating rate debt. This resulted in an effective interest rate of 1.41% and 2.74%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively. As a result of this hedge program, the carrying value of the $500 million note includes a $3.4 million adjustment for fair value movements attributable to the benchmark interest rate. See Note 13, "Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" for further details.

	-3	During the second quarter of 2014, we entered into a five-year, $750 million revolving multi-currency credit facility, which provides a $100 million sub-facility available for the issuance of letters of credit. This facility replaced our existing $400 million and $550 million revolving credit facilities, which had maturities in the second quarters of 2015 and 2016, respectively, and reduced the size of our existing commercial paper program to a maximum aggregate amount outstanding at any time of $750 million. Concurrent with the transaction, we incurred $1.8 million of issuance costs which are being amortized over the term of the agreement and recognized $1.3 million of accelerated amortization related to the termination of the pre-existing facilities. As of September 30, 2014, we have $588.6 million available to draw on under our $750 million revolving credit facility, as the borrowing capacity is reduced by borrowings under our commercial paper program discussed below.

	-4	As of September 30, 2014, and December 31, 2013, the weighted average effective interest rate and tenor for the outstanding commercial paper borrowings was 0.32%; 29.1 days and 0.49%; 47.2 days, respectively.

	-5	As of September 30, 2014, we had $111.5 million in bank overdrafts and $139.4 million in bank cash related to our European notional cross-border, cross-currency cash pool for a net positive position of $27.9 million. As of December 31, 2013, we did not have bank overdrafts related to the cash pool.

	-6	During the third quarter of 2014, our revolving credit facility that supports the operations of our Europe segment was amended to extend the maturity date by one year and to reduce the facility commitment from €150 million to €100 million on an uncommitted basis through September 2015. Fees associated with this amendment were immaterial. In addition to our EUR revolving credit facility and JPY line of credit, we have British Pound ("GBP") and CAD overdraft facilities which we had no borrowings under as of September 30, 2014, and December 31, 2013.

Results for the three and nine months ended for both 2014 and 2013, include an impairment charge related to indefinite-lived intangible assets recorded in the third quarters of 2014 and 2013 resulting from our annual impairment testing. See Note 10, "Goodwill and Intangible Assets" for further discussion.

[3]

Due to the anti-dilutive effect resulting from the reported net loss from continuing operations, the impact of potentially dilutive securities has been omitted from the quarterly calculation of weighted-average shares for diluted EPS for the third quarter of 2014. The impact of these potentially dilutive securities has been included in the calculation of weighted-average shares for diluted EPS for the nine months ended SeptemberB 30, 2014.Additionally, the sum of the quarterly net income per share amounts may not agree to the full year net income per share amounts. We calculate net income per share based on the weighted average number of outstanding shares during the period for each reporting period presented. The average number of shares fluctuates throughout the year and can therefore produce a full year result that does not agree to the sum of the individual quarters.

Equity Method Investment, Difference From Accounting Policy Elections

[1]

Our net investment in MillerCoors is based on the carrying values of the net assets contributed to the joint venture which is less than our proportionate share of underlying equity (42%) of MillerCoors (contributed by both Coors Brewing Company ("CBC") and Miller Brewing Company ("Miller")). This basis difference, with the exception of certain non-amortizing items (goodwill, land, etc.), is being amortized as additional equity income over the remaining useful lives of the contributed long-lived amortizing assets.

[2]

Results include special charges related to restructuring activities of $0.2 million and $1.4 million for the three and nine months ended SeptemberB 30, 2014, respectively, and $15.0 million for the three and nine months ended SeptemberB 30, 2013.

During the third quarters of 2014 and 2013, we recognized impairment charges related to indefinite-lived intangible assets in Europe. See Note 10, "Goodwill and Intangible Assets" for further discussion.

[2]

During 2009, we established a non-income-related tax reserve of $10.4 million that was recorded as a special item. In the first quarter of 2013, the remaining outstanding amount of this non-income-related tax reserve was fully released.

[3]

During the three and nine months ended SeptemberB 30, 2014, we recorded losses and related costs of $0.4 million and $2.2 million, respectively, in our Europe business associated with significant flooding in Serbia, Bosnia, and Croatia that occurred in the second quarter of 2014. These losses were offset by insurance proceeds of $3.9 million recorded in the third quarter of 2014 related to flooding in the second quarter of 2014. During the three and nine months ended SeptemberB 28, 2013, we recorded losses and related costs of $2.6 million and $5.9 million, respectively, in our Europe business related to significant flooding in Czech Republic in the second quarter of 2013. These losses were partially offset for the nine months ended SeptemberB 28, 2013, by $3.3 million insurance proceeds received in the second quarter of 2013.

[1]	Amounts have been adjusted to reflect the change in interim accounting for advertising expenses. See Note 1, "Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" for further discussion.
[2]	Due to the anti-dilutive effect resulting from the reported net loss from continuing operations, the impact of potentially dilutive securities has been omitted from the quarterly calculation of weighted-average shares for diluted EPS for the third quarter of 2014. The impact of these potentially dilutive securities has been included in the calculation of weighted-average shares for diluted EPS for the nine months ended SeptemberB 30, 2014.Additionally, the sum of the quarterly net income per share amounts may not agree to the full year net income per share amounts. We calculate net income per share based on the weighted average number of outstanding shares during the period for each reporting period presented. The average number of shares fluctuates throughout the year and can therefore produce a full year result that does not agree to the sum of the individual quarters.

On June 15, 2012, we issued a €500 million convertible note due December 31, 2013, which included a put conversion feature to the Seller. On August 13, 2013, the conversion feature was exercised for an agreed value upon exercise of €510.9 million, consisting of €500 million in principal and €10.9 million for the conversion feature. On September 3, 2013, we paid the Seller in cash a total of €466.0 million ($614.7 million) consisting of €455.1 million ($600.3 million) in principal and €10.9 million ($14.4 million) for the conversion feature. Separate from the Seller's notice to put, we had made claims with regard to the representations and warranties provided to us upon close of the Acquisition related to local country regulatory matters associated with pre-acquisition periods. As of December 31, 2013, we had withheld €44.9 million ($61.8 million) from the €500 million in principal related to these outstanding claims. During the first half of 2014, we released the €44.9 million ($61.4 million at settlement) withheld to the Seller as a result of the settlement of these claims. We did not incur any interest on amounts withheld. The €500 million convertible note's embedded conversion feature was determined to meet the definition of a derivative required to be bifurcated and separately accounted for at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings. During the three and nine months ended SeptemberB 28, 2013, we recognized a net gain of $20.3 million and a net loss of $6.5 million, respectively, related to changes in the fair value of the conversion feature. The cash and non-cash interest, excluding the change in fair value of the convertible feature, resulted in an immaterial impact to our effective interest rate for the three and nine months ended SeptemberB 28, 2013.

[2]

In the second and third quarters of 2014, we entered into interest rate swaps to economically convert our fixed rate $500 million 3.5% notes due 2022 ("$500 million notes") to floating rate debt. This resulted in an effective interest rate of 1.41% and 2.74%, for the three and nine months ended SeptemberB 30, 2014, respectively. As a result of this hedge program, the carrying value of the $500 million note includes a $3.4 million adjustment for fair value movements attributable to the benchmark interest rate. See Note 13, "Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" for further details.

[3]

During the second quarter of 2014, we entered into a five-year, $750 million revolving multi-currency credit facility, which provides a $100 million sub-facility available for the issuance of letters of credit. This facility replaced our existing $400 million and $550 million revolving credit facilities, which had maturities in the second quarters of 2015 and 2016, respectively, and reduced the size of our existing commercial paper program to a maximum aggregate amount outstanding at any time of $750 million. Concurrent with the transaction, we incurred $1.8 million of issuance costs which are being amortized over the term of the agreement and recognized $1.3 million of accelerated amortization related to the termination of the pre-existing facilities. As of SeptemberB 30, 2014, we have $588.6 million available to draw on under our $750 million revolving credit facility, as the borrowing capacity is reduced by borrowings under our commercial paper program discussed below. (4) As of SeptemberB 30, 2014, and DecemberB 31, 2013, the weighted average effective interest rate and tenor for the outstanding commercial paper borrowings was 0.32%; 29.1 days and 0.49%; 47.2 days, respectively. (5)As of SeptemberB 30, 2014, we had $111.5 million in bank overdrafts and $139.4 million in bank cash related to our European notional cross-border, cross-currency cash pool for a net positive position of $27.9 million. As of DecemberB 31, 2013, we did not have bank overdrafts related to the cash pool. (6) During the third quarter of 2014, our revolving credit facility that supports the operations of our Europe segment was amended to extend the maturity date by one year and to reduce the facility commitment from €150 million to €100 million on an uncommitted basis through September 2015. Fees associated with this amendment were immaterial. In addition to our EUR revolving credit facility and JPY line of credit, we have British Pound ("GBP") and CAD overdraft facilities which we had no borrowings under as of SeptemberB 30, 2014, and DecemberB 31, 2013.
