Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	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. Unless otherwise indicated, information in this report is presented in U.S. dollars ("USD" or "$") and comparisons are to comparable prior periods. 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 U.S. ("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 U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. 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, 2014 ("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 2015 . The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 , are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for the full fiscal year.

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract]
New Accounting Pronouncements	New Accounting Pronouncements Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued authoritative guidance intended to simplify the presentation of debt issuance costs. These amendments require that debt issuance costs be presented as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liabilities, consistent with the presentation of debt discounts. This results in the elimination of debt issuance costs as an asset and reduces the carrying value of our debt liabilities. As this guidance did not specifically address the presentation or subsequent measurement of debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements, the FASB issued an announcement in August 2015, stating that they would not object to an entity deferring and presenting debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements as an asset and subsequently amortizing the deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement. We have early adopted this guidance effective for our quarter ended September 30, 2015, and have elected to continue to present our debt issuance costs associated with our line-of-credit arrangements as assets. The adoption of this guidance had an immaterial impact on our financial position and has resulted in the following retrospective adjustments to our condensed consolidated balance sheet: December 31, 2014 As Reported As Adjusted (In millions) Other current assets, net $ 103.2 $ 101.4 Other assets $ 203.6 $ 189.2 Current portion of long-term debt and short-term borrowings $ 849.4 $ 849.0 Long-term debt $ 2,337.1 $ 2,321.3 New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In July 2015, the FASB issued authoritative guidance intended to simplify the measurement of inventory. The amendment requires entities to measure in-scope inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value, and replaces the current requirement to measure in-scope inventory at the lower of cost or market, which considers replacement cost, net realizable value, and net realizable value less an approximate normal profit margin. This amendment will more closely align the measurement of inventory under U.S. GAAP with the measurement of inventory under International Financial Reporting Standards. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2016. The amendment should be applied prospectively with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the potential impact on our financial position and results of operations upon adoption of this guidance. 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. In August 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date of the new revenue recognition standard for all entities by one year. As a result, the requirements of the new standard are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those annual periods. In conjunction with the deferral, the FASB will permit all entities to apply the new revenue recognition standard early, but not before the original effective date. The use of either a full retrospective or cumulative effect transition method is permitted. We have not yet selected a transition method and are currently evaluating the potential impact on our financial position and results of operations upon adoption of this guidance. In May 2015, the FASB issued an amendment to the fair value measurement guidance that applies to reporting entities that elect to measure the fair value of an investment using the net asset value (“NAV”) per share (or its equivalent) practical expedient. Under the new guidance, investments for which fair value is measured, or are eligible to be measured, using the NAV per share practical expedient are excluded from the fair value hierarchy. The amendment also removes certain disclosure requirements for these investments, and is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. This amendment will result in revisions to the presentation of the fair value hierarchy within Part II - Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, Note 16, “Employee Retirement Plans and Postretirement Benefits" of our Annual Report. There will be no impact on our financial position and results of operations upon adoption of this guidance. Other than the items noted above, there have been no new accounting pronouncements not yet effective or adopted in the current year that we believe have a significant impact, or potential significant impact, to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

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 sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 , and September 30, 2014 , respectively. Net sales represent sales to third-party external customers. Inter-segment transactions impacting sales revenues and income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes are insignificant (other than those with MillerCoors, see Note 4, "Investments" for additional detail) and eliminated in consolidation. The following table presents net sales by segment: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 September 30, 2014 September 30, 2015 September 30, 2014 (In millions) Canada $ 411.2 $ 507.2 $ 1,169.6 $ 1,370.8 Europe 566.0 618.7 1,448.7 1,685.7 MCI 41.3 43.4 107.6 119.3 Corporate 0.3 0.2 0.8 0.9 Eliminations (1) (1.4 ) (1.5 ) (3.6 ) (4.2 ) Consolidated $ 1,017.4 $ 1,168.0 $ 2,723.1 $ 3,172.5 (1) Represents inter-segment sales from the Europe segment to the MCI segment.

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, 2015 , or December 31, 2014 . With the exception of the debt guarantee further discussed below, we have not provided any financial support to any of our VIEs during the year 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, 2015 , and December 31, 2014 , our consolidated VIEs are Cobra Beer Partnership, Ltd. ("Cobra U.K.") and Grolsch U.K. Ltd. ("Grolsch"). Our unconsolidated VIEs are Brewers' Retail Inc. ("BRI") and Brewers' Distributor Ltd. ("BDL"). During the second quarter of 2015, our equity method investment, BRI, entered into a Canadian Dollar ("CAD") 150 million revolving credit facility with Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (“CIBC”), maturing one year after issuance, with one year renewal options subject to approval by CIBC. In conjunction with the issuance of the revolving credit facility, we, along with an additional shareholder of BRI, were each required to guarantee 50% of BRI’s obligations under the facility. As a result of this guarantee, we have recorded a current liability of $12.4 million as of September 30, 2015 . The carrying value of the guarantee equals its fair value, which considers an adjustment for our own non-performance risk and is considered a level 2 measurement. The offset to the guarantee liability was recorded as an adjustment to our equity method investment balance, which carried a negative balance as of September 30, 2015 . The guarantee liability was calculated based on our proportionate, 50% share of BRI’s total revolving credit facility outstanding balance at September 30, 2015 . The resulting change in equity investment balance during the year due to movements in the guarantee represents a non-cash investing activity. In October 2015, an additional shareholder of BRI was added as a guarantor to the revolving credit facility, which reduced our proportionate guarantee obligation to 45.9% . Our guarantee liability will be recorded based on this new proportionate share starting in the fourth quarter of 2015. In conjunction with finalization of the new beer framework agreement (see Note 10, "Goodwill and Intangible Assets" ), we, along with the other owners of BRI and the Province of Ontario, agreed to revise the ownership structure of BRI. The new BRI shareholder agreement (“New Shareholder Agreement”) incorporating these changes has not yet been executed and is anticipated to be executed and effective during the fourth quarter of 2015. The New Shareholder Agreement will adjust the existing BRI ownership structure to allow all other small and large Ontario based brewers the ability to participate in the ownership of BRI. As part of this proposed change, the board of directors of BRI will be expanded to include representation for these new ownership groups, as well as independent director representation. The new owners will be subject to the same fee structure as the current owners, with the exception of smaller brewers, who will have discounted fees, as they will not be required to fund certain costs associated with pension obligations. BRI will continue to operate on a break-even basis under the new ownership structure. BRI will also convert all existing capital stock into a new share class, as well as create a separate new share class to facilitate new and existing brewer participation and governance. While governance and board of director participation will continue to have the ability to fluctuate based on market share relative to the other owners, our equity interest will become fixed under the New Shareholder Agreement. We will continue to evaluate the accounting implications associated with the implementation of the New Shareholder Agreement and will make any necessary changes upon execution of the agreement.

("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 was accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Following the successful completion of the transition in the first quarter of 2014, we recognized income of $63.2 million (CAD 70.0 million ) within special items, reflective of the agreed upon payment received from Modelo for the early termination of the joint venture. Additionally in the first quarter of 2014, 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. Under the MMI arrangement, during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 , we recognized equity earnings within cost of goods sold of $0.7 million , and 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 . These cost recoveries are recorded within marketing, general and administrative expenses. 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

Share-Based Payments	9 Months Ended

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract]
Share-Based Payments	Share-Based Payments The MCBC Incentive Compensation Plan ("Incentive Compensation Plan") was amended and restated effective February 19, 2015, to reaffirm the ability to grant awards that are intended to qualify as performance-based compensation, to extend the term of the Incentive Compensation Plan for ten years and to incorporate certain corporate governance practices. We continue to have only one incentive compensation plan as of September 30, 2015 , and all outstanding awards fall under this plan. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 , and September 30, 2014 , 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 Incentive Compensation Plan: restricted stock units ("RSUs"), deferred stock units ("DSUs"), performance units ("PUs"), performance share units ("PSUs") 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 September 30, 2015 September 30, 2014 September 30, 2015 September 30, 2014 (In millions) Pretax compensation expense $ 4.8 $ 5.9 $ 12.9 $ 18.0 Tax benefit (1.2 ) (1.6 ) (3.3 ) (5.5 ) After-tax compensation expense $ 3.6 $ 4.3 $ 9.6 $ 12.5 The decrease in expense in the first three quarters of 2015 was primarily driven by accelerated expense related to certain RSUs and PSUs granted in the first quarter of 2014, which were not granted in the first quarter of 2015. As of September 30, 2015 , there was $33.6 million of total unrecognized compensation expense from all share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Incentive Compensation Plan, related to unvested awards. This compensation expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.0 years. The following table represents non-vested RSUs, DSUs, PUs and PSUs as of September 30, 2015 , and the activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 : RSUs and DSUs PUs PSUs Units Weighted-average grant date fair value per unit Units Weighted-average fair value per unit Units Weighted-average grant date fair value per unit (In millions, except per unit amounts) Non-vested as of December 31, 2014 0.7 $47.75 0.5 $3.22 0.4 $50.49 Granted 0.2 $70.79 — $— 0.1 $74.42 Vested (0.2 ) $43.31 (0.5 ) $2.89 — $— Forfeited (0.1 ) $51.95 — $— — $— Non-vested as of September 30, 2015 0.6 $56.17 — $— 0.5 $57.05 The weighted-average fair value per unit for the non-vested PSUs is $64.90 as of September 30, 2015 .

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 , and September 30, 2014 , cash received from stock option exercises was $31.2 million and $38.5 million , respectively, and the total excess tax benefit from these stock option exercises and other awards was $8.5 million and $6.6 million , respectively. The fair value of each option granted in the first three quarters of 2015 and 2014 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, 2015 September 30, 2014 Risk-free interest rate 1.70% 2.29% Dividend yield 2.20% 2.57% Volatility range 21.65%-29.90% 22.66%-26.57% Weighted-average volatility 23.71% 25.59% Expected term (years) 5.7 7.5 Weighted-average fair market value $13.98 $12.78 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 2015 and 2014 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, 2015 September 30, 2014 Risk-free interest rate 1.06% 0.72% Dividend yield 2.20% 2.57% Volatility range 12.73%-62.28% 12.45%-72.41% Weighted-average volatility 21.53% 21.72% Expected term (years) 2.8 2.8 Weighted-average fair market value $74.42 $58.69 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, 2015 , there were 6.8 million shares of the Company's Class B common stock available for issuance as awards under the Incentive Compensation Plan.

Extraordinary and Unusual Items [Abstract]
Special Items	Special Items We have incurred charges or realized benefits 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. As such, we have separately classified these charges (benefits) as special items. The table below summarizes special items recorded by segment: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 September 30, 2014 September 30, 2015 September 30, 2014 (In millions) Employee-related restructuring charges Canada $ — $ 2.2 $ — $ 7.6 Europe 0.5 — (0.5 ) 1.0 MCI (1) — — 3.2 — Corporate — — — 0.3 Impairments or asset abandonment charges Canada - Intangible asset write-off (2) — 8.9 — 13.8 Canada - Asset abandonment (3) 15.7 — 23.9 — Europe - Asset abandonment (4) 2.3 — 23.4 — Europe - Intangible asset impairment (5) 275.0 360.0 275.0 360.0 MCI - Asset write-off (1) — — 3.2 — Unusual or infrequent items Europe - Flood loss (insurance reimbursement), net (6) — (3.5 ) (2.4 ) (1.7 ) Termination fees and other (gains) losses Canada - Termination fee income (2) — — — (63.2 ) Europe - Termination fee expense, net (7) — — 10.0 — Total Special items, net $ 293.5 $ 367.6 $ 335.8 $ 317.8 (1) During the second quarter of 2015, we announced our decision to substantially restructure our business in China and consequently, recognized employee-related and asset write-off charges, including $0.7 million of accelerated depreciation. (2) 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. Additionally, upon termination of our MMI operations in the first quarter of 2014, we recognized termination fee income and charges associated with the write-off of the definite-lived intangible asset associated with the joint venture. See Note 4, "Investments" for further discussion. (3) During the third quarter of 2015, we incurred $15.7 million of charges related to the closure of a bottling line within our Vancouver brewery, including $15.4 million of accelerated depreciation associated with this bottling line. Additionally, during the second quarter of 2015, we incurred $8.2 million of charges related to the closure of a bottling line within our Toronto brewery, including $7.9 million of accelerated depreciation associated with this bottling line. The decisions to close these bottling lines were made as part of an ongoing strategic review of our Canadian supply chain network and the overall shift in consumer preference toward can consumption in Canada. Additionally, in the fourth quarter of 2015, as a result of the continuation of this strategic review, we entered into an agreement to sell the Vancouver brewery with the intent to use the proceeds from the sale to help fund the construction of an efficient and flexible brewery in British Columbia. The sale is anticipated to be completed in the first quarter of 2016. In conjunction with the sale, we also agreed to leaseback the existing property to continue operations on an uninterrupted basis while the new brewery is being constructed. This transaction will result in accelerated depreciation and other charges associated with the brewery sale starting during the fourth quarter of 2015. These charges will continue to be incurred on an ongoing basis until completion of the project and will be recorded as special items, along with the anticipated gain on the sale of the property. (4) In the second quarter of 2015, we completed the closure of the Alton brewery in the U.K. as part of our strategic review of our European supply chain network. As a result, we incurred charges associated with the closure of $2.3 million and $23.4 million , for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, including accelerated depreciation in excess of our normal depreciation associated with this brewery, of $2.0 million and $21.8 million , respectively. As part of this continued strategic review of our European supply chain network, in the fourth quarter of 2015, management has made a proposal and entered into a consultation process to close our Burton South Brewery in the U.K. and consolidate production within our recently modernized Burton North brewery . As a result of management's proposal, we will incur additional charges beginning in the fourth quarter of 2015 and through completion of the closure, which we anticipate will be recorded within special items. We will continue to evaluate our supply chain network and seek opportunities for further efficiencies and cost savings, and we therefore may incur additional restructuring related charges in the future. (5) During the third quarters of 2015 and 2014, we recognized impairment charges related to indefinite-lived intangible assets in Europe. See Note 10, "Goodwill and Intangible Assets" for further discussion. (6) During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 , we recorded $2.4 million of income for insurance proceeds received related to significant flooding in Czech Republic that occurred during the second quarter of 2013. 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, 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. (7) In December 2013, we entered into an agreement with Heineken to early terminate our contract brewing and kegging agreement under which we produced and packaged the Foster's and Kronenbourg brands in the U.K. As a result of the termination, Heineken agreed to pay us an aggregate early termination payment of British Pound ("GBP") 13.0 million , of which we received GBP 5.0 million in 2014 and the remaining GBP 8.0 million on April 30, 2015. The full amount of the termination payment ( $19.4 million upon recognition) is included in income within special items for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, following the completion of the transition period in the second quarter of 2015. Separately, in June 2015, we terminated our agreement with Carlsberg whereby it held the exclusive distribution rights for the Staropramen brand in the U.K. As a result of this termination, we agreed to pay Carlsberg an early termination payment of GBP 19.0 million ( $29.4 million at payment date), which was recognized as a special charge during the second quarter of 2015. The transition period concludes on December 27, 2015, at which time we will have the exclusive distribution rights of the Staropramen brand in the U.K. 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. During 2014, we finalized our restructuring initiatives that began in 2012. Additionally, in the second quarter of 2015, we completed the closure of the Alton brewing facility within our Europe segment resulting in restructuring charges as noted above. In the second quarter of 2015, we recognized employee-related charges within our MCI segment following the decision to substantially restructure our business in China as stated above. As a result of this action, employment levels were reduced by approximately 125 full-time employees. During 2015, we continued our ongoing assessment of our supply chain strategies across our segments in order to align with our cost saving objectives. We will continue to evaluate our supply chain network and seek opportunities for further efficiencies and cost savings, and we therefore may incur additional restructuring related charges in the future. 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 to 15 months. The table below summarizes the activity in the restructuring accruals by segment: Canada Europe MCI Corporate Total (In millions) Total at December 31, 2014 $ 3.8 $ 11.5 $ — $ 0.2 $ 15.5 Charges incurred — 0.7 3.2 — 3.9 Payments made (2.8 ) (6.4 ) (1.1 ) (0.2 ) (10.5 ) Changes in estimates — (1.2 ) — — (1.2 ) Foreign currency and other adjustments (0.4 ) (0.3 ) — — (0.7 ) Total at September 30, 2015 $ 0.6 $ 4.3 $ 2.1 $ — $ 7.0 Canada Europe MCI Corporate Total (In millions) Total at December 31, 2013 $ 9.7 $ 13.6 $ 0.5 $ 0.9 $ 24.7 Charges incurred 7.6 1.0 — 0.3 8.9 Payments made (10.7 ) (4.0 ) (0.4 ) (0.8 ) (15.9 ) Foreign currency and other adjustments (0.3 ) (0.2 ) — — (0.5 ) Total at September 30, 2014 $ 6.3 $ 10.4 $ 0.1 $ 0.4 $ 17.2

Income Tax

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Tax	Income Tax Our effective tax rates for the third quarter of 2015 and 2014 were approximately positive 182% and negative 2% , respectively. For the first nine months of 2015 and 2014, our effective tax rates were approximately positive 12% and 9% , respectively. Our effective tax rates deviate from the federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to lower effective income tax rates applicable to our foreign businesses, driven by lower statutory income tax rates and tax planning impacts on statutory taxable income, as well as the impact of discrete items further discussed below. The change in the effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2015 versus 2014 , was primarily due to a lower pretax loss in 2015 driven by the brand impairment charges in Europe, and higher net discrete and other tax benefits recognized in 2015. Our total net discrete tax benefit was $14.3 million in the third quarter of 2015 , versus an $8.2 million net discrete tax benefit recognized in the third quarter of 2014. The net discrete tax benefit recognized in the third quarter of 2015 was driven by the release of unrecognized tax benefits, primarily resulting from the expiration of certain statutes of limitations. This activity includes the release of the remaining $8.1 million unrecognized tax benefit that was established during the second quarter of 2014, as well as the release of other unrecognized tax benefits in domestic and foreign jurisdictions. The net discrete tax benefit recognized in the third quarter of 2014 was also primarily driven by the release of unrecognized tax benefits. The increase in the effective tax rate during the first nine months of 2015 versus 2014 was primarily due to a lower net discrete tax benefit recognized in 2015, as well as lower pretax income. 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. In March 2015, we formally submitted a renewal application of our bilateral advanced pricing agreement ("BAPA") between the U.S. and Canada tax authorities. The BAPA submission covers both historical and future tax years and is subject to approval by both taxing authorities. The prior year impacts of the submission were recognized as a discrete item in the first quarter of 2015, and the related tax implications for the current year have been incorporated into our projected full year effective tax rate.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings per Share ("EPS")	Earnings Per Share ("EPS") Basic 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 include RSUs, DSUs, PUs, PSUs, stock options and SOSARs. 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: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 September 30, 2014 September 30, 2015 September 30, 2014 (In millions, except per share amounts) Amounts attributable to Molson Coors Brewing Company: Net income (loss) from continuing operations $ 13.7 $ (35.7 ) $ 322.2 $ 420.3 Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax 2.9 1.3 4.5 (0.4 ) Net income (loss) attributable to Molson Coors Brewing Company $ 16.6 $ (34.4 ) $ 326.7 $ 419.9 Weighted-average shares for basic EPS 185.0 185.1 185.5 184.7 Effect of dilutive securities: RSUs, DSUs, PUs and PSUs 0.6 — 0.7 0.5 Stock options and SOSARs 0.4 — 0.4 0.7 Weighted-average shares for diluted EPS 186.0 185.1 186.6 185.9 Basic net income (loss) attributable to Molson Coors Brewing Company per share (1) : From continuing operations $ 0.07 $ (0.20 ) $ 1.74 $ 2.27 From discontinued operations 0.02 0.01 0.02 — Basic net income (loss) attributable to Molson Coors Brewing Company per share $ 0.09 $ (0.19 ) $ 1.76 $ 2.27 Diluted net income (loss) attributable to Molson Coors Brewing Company per share (1) : From continuing operations $ 0.07 $ (0.20 ) $ 1.73 $ 2.26 From discontinued operations 0.02 0.01 0.02 — Diluted net income (loss) attributable to Molson Coors Brewing Company per share $ 0.09 $ (0.19 ) $ 1.75 $ 2.26 Dividends declared and paid per share $ 0.41 $ 0.37 $ 1.23 $ 1.11 (1) Due to the anti-dilutive effect resulting from the reported net loss from continuing operations for the three months ended September 30, 2014, 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 EPS: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 September 30, 2014 September 30, 2015 September 30, 2014 (In millions) RSUs, stock options and SOSARs 0.1 1.2 0.1 0.1 Share Repurchase Program In February 2015, our Board of Directors approved and authorized a new program to repurchase up to $1.0 billion of our Class A and Class B common stock with a program term of four years. Under the program, shares may be repurchased in privately negotiated and/or open market transactions, including under plans complying with Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act. The number, price and timing of the repurchases will be at the Company’s sole discretion and will be evaluated depending on market conditions, liquidity needs or other factors. The Company’s Board of Directors may suspend, modify or terminate the program at any time without prior notice. This repurchase program replaces and supersedes any repurchase programs previously approved by the Board of Directors. Under Delaware state law, these shares are not retired, and the issuer has the right to resell any of the shares repurchased. Beginning in April 2015, under this program, we entered into accelerated share repurchase agreements (“ASRs”) with a financial institution. In exchange for up-front payments, the financial institution delivers shares of our common stock during the purchase periods of each ASR. The total number of shares ultimately delivered, and therefore the average repurchase price paid per share, will be determined at the end of the applicable purchase period of each ASR based on the volume weighted-average price of our common stock during that period. The up-front payments for the treasury stock are accounted for as a reduction to shareholders’ equity in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet in the periods the payments are made. We reflect each ASR as a repurchase of common stock in the period delivered for purposes of calculating earnings per share and as forward contracts indexed to its own common stock. Each ASR meets all of the applicable criteria for equity classification, and therefore, is not accounted for as a derivative instrument. During the second and third quarters of 2015, we purchased a total of 1.3 million shares of our Class B common stock under two separate ASRs for an aggregate of approximately $100 million . In early October 2015, under a separate ASR, we received Class B common stock for an up-front payment of approximately $50 million . The total number of shares ultimately delivered under this ASR, and therefore the average repurchase price paid per share, will be determined at the end of the purchase period in December 2015.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]
Goodwill and Intangible Assets	Goodwill and Intangible Assets The following summarizes the change in goodwill for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 : Canada Europe MCI Consolidated (In millions) Balance at December 31, 2014 $ 656.5 $ 1,528.0 $ 7.1 $ 2,191.6 Business acquisition and disposition (1) — (6.7 ) 16.4 9.7 Foreign currency translation (83.4 ) (70.5 ) (0.6 ) (154.5 ) Balance at September 30, 2015 $ 573.1 $ 1,450.8 $ 22.9 $ 2,046.8 (1) In July 2015, we sold our U.K. malting facility resulting in an adjustment to the goodwill in our Europe reporting unit based on the proportionate fair value of the disposed business relative to the reporting unit. In addition, on April 1, 2015, we completed the acquisition of Mount Shivalik Breweries Ltd., a regional brewer in India. As part of the purchase price accounting, goodwill generated in conjunction with this acquisition has been recorded within our MCI segment beginning in the second quarter of 2015 and included within the India reporting unit of our MCI segment for purposes of our annual goodwill impairment testing. The following table presents details of our intangible assets, other than goodwill, as of September 30, 2015 : Useful life Gross Accumulated amortization Net (Years) (In millions) Intangible assets subject to amortization: Brands 3 - 50 $ 1,158.6 $ (225.0 ) $ 933.6 License agreements and distribution rights 3 - 28 139.5 (89.5 ) 50.0 Other 2 - 8 30.7 (29.2 ) 1.5 Intangible assets not subject to amortization: Brands Indefinite 3,161.1 — 3,161.1 Distribution networks Indefinite 759.9 — 759.9 Other Indefinite 17.5 — 17.5 Total $ 5,267.3 $ (343.7 ) $ 4,923.6 The following table presents details of our intangible assets, other than goodwill, as of December 31, 2014 : Useful life Gross Accumulated amortization Net (Years) (In millions) Intangible assets subject to amortization: Brands 3 - 40 $ 483.5 $ (229.1 ) $ 254.4 License agreements and distribution rights 3 - 28 122.0 (101.1 ) 20.9 Other 2 - 8 31.7 (29.4 ) 2.3 Intangible assets not subject to amortization: Brands Indefinite 4,590.2 — 4,590.2 Distribution networks Indefinite 870.5 — 870.5 Other Indefinite 17.5 — 17.5 Total $ 6,115.4 $ (359.6 ) $ 5,755.8 The changes in the gross carrying amounts of intangibles from December 31, 2014 , to September 30, 2015 , are primarily driven by the impact of foreign exchange rates, as a significant amount of intangibles are denominated in foreign currencies, the indefinite-lived brand intangible impairments recorded in the third quarter of 2015 and the change in classification of certain European brands from indefinite life to definite life subject to amortization as noted below. Additionally, we wrote-off the gross value and accumulated amortization associated with our licensing agreement with Miller in Canada upon finalizing the termination in the first quarter of 2015, and we acquired a definite-lived brand as part of our acquisition of the Rekorderlig distribution rights in the third quarter of 2015, as well as a definite-lived brand as part of our acquisition in India in the second quarter of 2015. Based on foreign exchange rates as of September 30, 2015 , the estimated future amortization expense of intangible assets, inclusive of the impact driven by the change in classification of certain European brands from an indefinite life to definite life subject to amortization, is as follows: Fiscal year Amount (In millions) 2015 - remaining $ 10.0 2016 $ 39.9 2017 $ 29.2 2018 $ 27.7 2019 $ 27.7 Amortization expense of intangible assets was $6.4 million and $10.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 , and September 30, 2014 , respectively, and $20.1 million and $31.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 , and September 30, 2014 , respectively. This expense is presented within marketing, general and administrative expenses on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and includes the $4.9 million 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. During the fourth quarter of 2014, we changed the date of our annual impairment test for goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets from July 1, the first day of our fiscal third quarter, to October 1, the first day of our fiscal fourth quarter. The change was made to more closely align the impairment testing date with our strategic and annual operating planning and forecasting process. The change in accounting principle is preferable, as it will align the impairment testing data with the most current information available from the annual operating plan, and allow for the completion of the annual impairment testing closer to the end of our annual reporting period. Based on the results of our testing performed as of October 1, 2014, we concluded there were no impairments of goodwill within our Europe, Canada or India reporting units or impairments of our indefinite-lived intangible assets. The fair values determined during our October 1, 2014, testing were largely consistent with the results of our July 1, 2014, testing. See further discussion below. I n April 2014, the Ontario Premier's Advisory Council on Government Assets (the "Council") began a review that included evaluating the beer retailing and distribution system in Ontario, for which BRI is the primary beer retail and distribution channel. In April 2015, as a result of this review and our negotiations with the Council, we, along with the other owners of BRI, agreed, in principle and subject to entry into definitive binding documents, to enter into a new beer framework agreement (the "New Framework") with the Province of Ontario. The associated Master Framework Agreement was subsequently executed by all parties on September 22, 2015, and is anticipated to become effective during the fourth quarter of 2015. The New Framework is designed to further enhance the overall beer retail and distribution system within Ontario, as well as provide easier access to market for small brewers. The New Framework includes the implementation of an additional CAD 100.0 million annual tax on all beer volume sold in Ontario, which will be phased in over four years beginning November 1, 2015. Additionally, with the exception of adjustments for increases in annual inflation, the two largest brewers in Ontario will have restrictions on price increases for certain packaging types of the largest Ontario brands until the second quarter of 2017. The New Framework is also intended to increase convenience and choice available for consumers by increasing the number and types of outlets where beer is sold (including introducing beer sales to a specified number of grocery stores and standalone outlets), increasing the required level of shelf space allocated to small brewers in retail outlets, as well as allowing for incremental packaging options at the Liquor Control Board of Ontario ("LCBO") and agents of the LCBO. The New Framework also provides qualifying licensees (restaurants and bars) the ability to purchase beer at BRI retail outlets at the same price as retail consumers. Further, BRI has committed to invest CAD 100.0 million of capital spending through 2018, 80.0% of which will be directed toward enhancements to the purchasing experience for consumers. The New Framework also incorporates many of the proposed changes to the BRI ownership structure that were announced in January 2015, allowing all other Ontario brewers, regardless of size, to participate in the ownership and governance of BRI (see Note 4, "Investments" ). We are still evaluating and beginning to implement actions to mitigate any adverse impacts to our Canada results due to the adoption of the New Framework. The ultimate outcome and potential impact to our Canada business remains to be fully determined. 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 14% and 11% in excess of carrying value, respectively, as of the October 1, 2014, testing date. Prior to recognizing the 2014 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 impairment of certain European indefinite-lived brands during the third quarter of 2015, as discussed below, was a potential impairment indicator for the Europe reporting unit; however, we evaluated and based on other offsetting factors at the Europe reporting unit level, an interim impairment test at the reporting unit level was not required. We will complete our 2015 annual goodwill impairment test during the fourth quarter of 2015. 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 During the third quarter of 2015, we identified impairment indicators as it pertains to indefinite-lived intangible assets related to certain European brands driven by key changes to our underlying assumptions supporting the value of the brands. Specific changes include underperformance through the 2015 peak season driving a downward shift in management's forecasts, along with challenging macroeconomic and competitive conditions that we no longer expect to subside in the near term. As a result, we recorded an aggregate impairment charge across various European brands, including Jelen , of $275.0 million within special items in the third quarter of 2015. These lower projected cash flows along with higher weighted-average costs of capital attributed to these brands compared to previously made assumptions continue to result in lower brand valuations as this charge follows impairments of $360.0 million in 2014 and $150.9 million in 2013 related to European indefinite-lived brands as a result of our 2014 and 2013 annual impairment testing, respectively. 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. In conjunction with the interim brand impairment review, we also reassessed each brand's indefinite-life classification and determined that these impaired brands have characteristics that have evolved and which now indicate a definite-life is more appropriate. Specifically, such characteristics include continued pressure on these brands given the geographical markets and price segments in which they participate, as well as significant competition from the value segment, which has challenged the segment in which these brands operate with continued stress on these brands driven by on-going macroeconomic conditions. These brands have therefore been reclassified as definite-lived intangible assets with the remaining aggregate fair value of $700.2 million , which equals the carrying value, to be amortized over useful lives ranging from 30 to 50 years. Separately, our Molson core brand intangible asset continues to be at risk of future impairment with a fair value estimated at approximately 9% in excess of its carrying value as of the October 1, 2014, impairment testing date. The fair value of the Molson core brand intangible assets in excess of carrying value decreased slightly from the prior year, as they continue to face significant competitive pressures and challenging macroeconomic conditions in the Canada market. These challenges continue to be partially offset by anticipated cost savings initiatives. As part of our annual impairment testing during the fourth quarter of 2015, we will evaluate the impact to the fair value of the intangible asset as a result of management's completed strategic and annual operating planning and forecasting process along with potential changes in other key inputs, such as the weighted-average cost of capital, which could be adversely impacted by a number of factors. As of September 30, 2015 , the Molson core brand intangible asset had a carrying value of $2,280.4 million . The value of the Coors Light brand distribution rights and our other indefinite-lived intangible assets in Canada continue to be sufficiently in excess of their carrying values. 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, inclusive of the intangible assets mentioned above valued during the third quarter of 2015. 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 and the Molson core brand intangible asset 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 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 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 annual goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible impairment tests 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 and Molson core brand 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 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 or other country specific factors which could result in a higher weighted-average cost of capital; 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 2015 . In the third quarter of 2014, as a result of the settlement with Miller in Canada, we updated our assessment of the definite-lived intangible asset related to the Miller license agreement for impairment resulting in an $8.9 million impairment charge. The valuation of the asset at that time was 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. We received half of the mutually agreed upon settlement payment following the execution of the settlement and received the remainder upon finalization of transition at the end of the first quarter of 2015. The intangible asset was fully amortized as of the end of the first quarter of 2015 and the associated gross value and accumulated amortization balances were written off. We utilized Level 3 fair value measurements in our impairment analysis of this definite-lived intangible asset in the third quarter of 2014, which included cash flow assumptions by management related to the transition period.

See Note 2, "New Accounting Pronouncements" for further discussion. (2) On September 18, 2015, Molson Coors International, LP, a Delaware partnership and a wholly owned subsidiary of MCBC, issued CAD 500 million 2.75% notes due September 18, 2020 ("CAD 500 million notes"), and CAD 400 million 2.25% notes due September 18, 2018 ("CAD 400 million notes", and together with the CAD 500 million notes, the "2015 Notes"). Our previously issued CAD 900 million 5.0% notes matured on September 22, 2015, and were repaid using the proceeds from the new offerings. Prior to issuing the 2015 Notes, we entered into forward starting interest rate swap agreements to hedge the interest rate volatility on CAD 600 million of the 2015 Notes beginning in the second quarter of 2014. At the time of the issuance of the 2015 Notes, the government of Canada bond rates were trading at a yield lower than that locked in by the interest rate swaps, resulting in an aggregate realized loss of CAD 39.2 million ( $29.5 million at settlement), which was recorded in other comprehensive income. A portion of this loss is being amortized into interest expense over the 5 -year and 3 -year lives of the respective 2015 Notes and will increase our effective cost of borrowing compared to the stated coupon rates by 0.65% on the CAD 500 million notes and 0.16% on the CAD 400 million notes. The remaining portion of the loss will be amortized on future debt issuances covering the full 10 -year term of the interest rate swap agreements. The cash payment associated with the settlement of the forward starting interest rate swap agreements was recorded as an operating outflow within the other assets and liabilities line item on the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. See Note 13, "Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" for further details on the forward starting interest rate swaps. (3) In the first quarter of 2015, we entered into interest rate swaps to economically convert our fixed rate $300 million 2.0% notes due 2017 (" $300 million notes") to floating rate debt consistent with the interest rate swaps on our $500 million 3.5% notes due 2022 (" $500 million notes") entered into during 2014. As a result of these hedge programs, the carrying value of the $300 million and $500 million notes include adjustments of $1.3 million and $23.4 million , respectively, for fair value movements attributable to the benchmark interest rate. The carrying value of the $500 million note included an adjustment of $10.8 million for fair value movements attributable to the benchmark interest rate as of December 31, 2014 . In the first quarter of 2015, we also entered into a cross currency swap with a total notional of Euro ("EUR") 265 million ( $300 million upon execution) in order to hedge a portion of the foreign currency translational impacts of our European investment. As a result of this cross currency swap and the above mentioned interest rate swaps, we have economically converted the $300 million notes and associated interest to a floating rate EUR denomination. The effective interest rate for the $300 million notes, adjusted for these swaps, was (0.33)% and 0.98% , for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 , respectively. The interest rate swaps on our $500 million notes resulted in an effective interest rate of 1.41% and 1.38% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 , and 1.41% and 2.74% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 , respectively. See Note 13, "Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" for further details. (4) As of September 30, 2015 , the weighted-average effective interest rate and tenor for the outstanding commercial paper borrowings was 0.45% and 17.1 days, respectively. As of September 30, 2015 , we have $740.0 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, and we have no other borrowings drawn on this revolving credit facility. (5) As of September 30, 2015 , we had $9.4 million in bank overdrafts and $63.3 million in bank cash related to our cross-border, cross-currency cash pool for a net positive position of $53.9 million . As of December 31, 2014 , we had $64.6 million in bank overdrafts and $80.0 million in bank cash related to our cross-border, cross-currency cash pool for a net positive position of $15.4 million . (6) In addition to our JPY line of credit, we have a EUR revolving credit facility and GBP and CAD overdraft facilities which we had no borrowings under as of September 30, 2015 , or December 31, 2014 . 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, 2015 , and December 31, 2014 , the fair value of our outstanding long-term debt (including current portion) was $2,873.8 million and $3,240.6 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, 2015 , and December 31, 2014 , we were in compliance with all of these restrictions and have met all debt payment obligations.

Derivative Instruments and Hedg

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities	9 Months Ended

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 2015 . 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 positions have not changed considerably since year-end, except as noted below. Interest Rate Swaps In the first quarter of 2015, we entered into interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional of $300 million to economically convert our fixed rate $300 million notes to floating rate debt. We will receive fixed interest payments semi-annually at a rate of 2% per annum on our $300 million hedges 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 $300 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, consistent with our $500 million interest rate hedges that we entered into in 2014. 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 the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 , the changes in fair value of the $500 million interest rate swap resulted in unrealized gains of $15.2 million and $12.6 million , respectively. The changes in fair value of the $300 million interest rate swap resulted in unrealized gains of $0.8 million and $1.3 million , respectively, for the same period. These changes were recorded in interest expense in our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations and were fully offset by changes in fair value of the $500 million notes and the $300 million notes attributable to the benchmark interest rate. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2015 , and December 31, 2014 , such cumulative adjustments had increased the carrying value of our $500 million notes by $23.4 million and $10.8 million , respectively, and as of September 30, 2015 , such cumulative adjustments had increased the carrying value of our $300 million notes by $1.3 million . See Note 11, "Debt" for additional details. Cross Currency Swap In the first quarter of 2015, we entered into a cross currency swap agreement having a total notional of EUR 265 million ( $300 million upon execution) in order to hedge a portion of the foreign currency translational impacts of our European investment. We will receive floating interest payments quarterly based on a credit spread plus the three month LIBOR (USD coupon) and pay a floating rate to our counterparty based on a credit spread plus EURIBOR (EUR coupon). As a result of this cross currency swap and the above mentioned interest rate swaps, we have economically converted the $300 million notes and associated interest to a floating rate EUR denomination. We have designated this cross currency swap as a net investment hedge and accordingly, record changes in fair value due to fluctuations in the spot rate to AOCI. The changes in fair value of the derivative attributable to changes other than those due to fluctuations in the spot rate are excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness and recorded to interest expense. Forward Starting Interest Rate Swaps Prior to the September 2015 issuance of our privately placed CAD 500 million 2.75% notes due 2020 and CAD 400 million 2.25% private placement notes due 2018, we entered into forward starting interest rate swaps with a notional of CAD 600 million in order to manage our exposure to the volatility of the interest rates associated with the future interest payments on the forecasted debt issuances. The swaps had effective dates mirroring the terms of the forecasted debt. Under these agreements we were required to early terminate these swaps at the approximate time we issued the previously forecasted debt. We had designated these contracts as cash flow hedges and accordingly, a portion of the CAD 39.2 million ( $29.5 million at settlement) loss on the forward starting interest rate swaps is being reclassified from AOCI and amortized to interest expense over the 5 -year and 3 -year lives of the CAD 500 million and CAD 400 million notes, respectively, and the remaining portion of the loss will be amortized on future debt issuances covering the 10 -year term of the interest rate swap agreements. See Note 11, "Debt" , for further discussion. 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, 2015 , and December 31, 2014 . Fair value measurements as of September 30, 2015 Total at September 30, 2015 Quoted prices in active markets (Level 1) Significant other observable inputs (Level 2) Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) (In millions) Cross currency swap $ 3.7 $ — $ 3.7 $ — Interest rate swaps 24.7 — 24.7 — Foreign currency forwards 42.6 — 42.6 — Commodity swaps (17.3 ) — (17.3 ) — Total $ 53.7 $ — $ 53.7 $ — Fair value measurements as of December 31, 2014 Total at December 31, 2014 Quoted prices in active markets (Level 1) Significant other observable inputs (Level 2) Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) (In millions) Interest rate swaps $ (2.2 ) $ — $ (2.2 ) $ — Foreign currency forwards 31.6 — 31.6 — Commodity swaps (8.9 ) — (8.9 ) — Total $ 20.5 $ — $ 20.5 $ — As of September 30, 2015 , we had no significant transfers between Level 1 and Level 2.

Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments and Contingencies	9 Months Ended

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies 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 certain exposures related to 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 statements of operations. There have been no changes in the underlying liabilities from the year ended December 31, 2014 ; therefore, all changes in the current and non-current liabilities of discontinued operations during the first three quarters of 2015 are due to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates from December 31, 2014 , to September 30, 2015 . During the three months ended September 30, 2015 , and September 30, 2014 , we recognized gains of $2.9 million and $1.3 million , respectively, from discontinued operations associated with foreign exchange gains and losses related to indemnities we provided to FEMSA, and during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 , and September 30, 2014 , we recognized gains of $4.5 million and losses of $0.4 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 $88.6 million , based on foreign exchange rates as of September 30, 2015 . 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. As of September 30, 2015 , accounts payable and other current liabilities in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets includes $12.4 million related to the guarantee of the indebtedness of our equity method investments. See Note 4, "Investments" for more details. Additionally, 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 unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Other liabilities in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets include $4.6 million as of September 30, 2015 , and $5.3 million as of December 31, 2014 , related to the Ground Lease Guarantee, both of which are classified as non-current. Litigation, Other Disputes and Environmental Related to litigation, other disputes and environmental issues, we have accrued an aggregate of $14.1 million as of September 30, 2015 , and $16.6 million as of December 31, 2014 . We believe that any reasonably possible losses in excess of the amounts accrued are immaterial to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, except as noted below. 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, other than as discussed below, none of these disputes or legal actions are 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 and the first quarter of 2015, we received assessments from a local country regulatory authority related to indirect tax calculations in our Europe operations during the 29 month period prior to receipt of the most recent assessment. The aggregate amount of the assessments received is approximately $78 million , based on foreign exchange rates at September 30, 2015 . While we intend to vigorously challenge the validity of these assessments and defend our position regarding the method of calculation, if the assessments, as issued, are ultimately upheld, they could materially affect our results of operations. Specifically, if fully upheld, we would be required to record a charge at the high-end of the below range of loss, and this charge and on-going implications to our calculations would negatively impact our current and future operating income, respectively. Based on the assessments received and related impacts, we estimate a current range of loss of zero to approximately $106 million , based on foreign exchange rates at September 30, 2015 . We continue to apply the methodology challenged in the assessments while the regulatory appeal process remains ongoing, and, as a result, the related range of loss is expected to increase until ultimately resolved. We continue to follow the required regulatory procedures in order to proceed with our appeal of the assessments. We currently believe this appeal process will take several months to reach a formal conclusion, and may not be resolved until fiscal year 2016. No provision is currently recorded for these assessments or the related range of loss. In 2013, we became aware of potential liabilities in several European countries primarily related to local country regulatory matters associated with StarBev Holdings S.à r.l. ("StarBev") 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 of StarBev. 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 . 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 On December 12, 2014, a notice of action captioned David Hughes and 631992 Ontario Inc. v. Liquor Control Board of Ontario, Brewers Retail Inc., Labatt Breweries of Canada LP, Molson Coors Canada and Sleeman Breweries Ltd. No. CV-14-518059-00CP was filed in Ontario, Canada in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice. BRI and its owners, including Molson Coors Canada, as well as the LCBO are named as defendants in the action. The plaintiffs allege that The Beer Store (retail outlets owned and operated by BRI) and LCBO improperly entered into an agreement to fix prices and market allocation within the Ontario beer market to the detriment of licensees and consumers. The plaintiffs seek to have the claim certified as a class action on behalf of all Ontario beer consumers and licensees and, among other things, damages in the amount of CAD 1.4 billion . Although we are at an early stage of the proceedings, we note that The Beer Store operates according to the rules established by the Government of Ontario for regulation, sale and distribution of beer in the province. Additionally, prices at The Beer Store are independently set by each brewer and are approved by the LCBO on a weekly basis. As such, we currently believe the claim has been made without merit, and we intend to vigorously assert and defend our rights in this lawsuit. 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 2.47% risk-free rate of return. Based on these assumptions, the present value and gross amount of the costs at September 30, 2015 , are approximately $3.3 million and $6.2 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 subsequently sold, 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 capital expenditures, results of operations or our financial or competitive position for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 , and we do not anticipate that they will do so during the remainder of the year.

Supplemental Guarantor Information [Abstract]
Supplemental Guarantor Information	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 Canada and U.S. segments, as well as our U.K. operations of our Europe 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. See Note 11, "Debt" for additional details. 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 CAD 900 million notes due September 22, 2015 were fully repaid using the proceeds from the issuance on September 18, 2015 of privately placed CAD 500 million 2.75% notes due 2020, and privately placed CAD 400 million 2.25% notes due 2018. Both offerings are guaranteed by MCBC, and certain of our U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries. Subsequent to settlement of the notes due on September 22, 2015, and local regulatory approval, MC Capital Finance ceased to be a reporting issuer in all the applicable provinces of Canada. 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, 2015 . Presentation The following information sets forth the condensed consolidating statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 , and September 30, 2014 , condensed consolidating balance sheets as of September 30, 2015 , and December 31, 2014 , and condensed consolidating statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 , and September 30, 2014 . 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.

Summarized financial information of MillerCoors	Investment in MillerCoors Summarized Financial Information Condensed Balance Sheets As of September 30, 2015 December 31, 2014 (In millions) Current assets $ 923.5 $ 795.3 Non-current assets 8,983.4 9,047.4 Total assets $ 9,906.9 $ 9,842.7 Current liabilities $ 1,131.0 $ 1,061.3 Non-current liabilities 1,463.5 1,578.8 Total liabilities 2,594.5 2,640.1 Noncontrolling interests 17.4 23.5 Owners' equity 7,295.0 7,179.1 Total liabilities and equity $ 9,906.9 $ 9,842.7 The following represents our proportionate share in MillerCoors' equity and reconciliation to our investment in MillerCoors: As of September 30, 2015 December 31, 2014 (In millions, except percentages) MillerCoors owners' equity $ 7,295.0 $ 7,179.1 MCBC economic interest 42 % 42 % MCBC proportionate share in MillerCoors' equity 3,063.9 3,015.2 Difference between MCBC contributed cost basis and proportionate share of the underlying equity in net assets of MillerCoors (1) (658.2 ) (661.6 ) Accounting policy elections 35.0 35.0 Investment in MillerCoors $ 2,440.7 $ 2,388.6 (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. Results of Operations Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 September 30, 2014 September 30, 2015 September 30, 2014 (In millions) Net sales $ 2,000.0 $ 2,069.5 $ 5,977.3 $ 6,066.6 Cost of goods sold (1,173.9 ) (1,237.7 ) (3,490.6 ) (3,614.2 ) Gross profit $ 826.1 $ 831.8 $ 2,486.7 $ 2,452.4 Operating income (1) $ 323.0 $ 381.9 $ 1,125.7 $ 1,129.2 Net income attributable to MillerCoors (1) $ 316.5 $ 376.5 $ 1,108.3 $ 1,112.9 (1) Results include special charges of $28.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, related to the planned closure of the Eden, North Carolina, brewery, including $21.8 million of accelerated depreciation in excess of normal depreciation associated with this brewery. Results also include special charges related to restructuring activities of $0.2 million and $1.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively.
MCBC's proportional share in MillerCoors of net income reported under the equity method	The following represents our proportionate share in net income attributable to MillerCoors reported under the equity method of accounting: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 September 30, 2014 September 30, 2015 September 30, 2014 (In millions, except percentages) Net income attributable to MillerCoors $ 316.5 $ 376.5 $ 1,108.3 $ 1,112.9 MCBC economic interest 42 % 42 % 42 % 42 % MCBC proportionate share of MillerCoors net income (1) 132.9 158.1 465.5 467.4 Amortization of the difference between MCBC contributed cost basis and proportionate share of the underlying equity in net assets of MillerCoors 1.0 1.2 3.4 3.5 Share-based compensation adjustment (1)(2) 1.4 (0.4 ) 1.2 0.9 Equity income in MillerCoors $ 135.3 $ 158.9 $ 470.1 $ 471.8 (1) The sum of the quarterly proportionate share of MillerCoors net income and share-based compensation adjustment amounts may not agree to the year-to-date amounts due to rounding.

(2) 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. Additionally, upon termination of our MMI operations in the first quarter of 2014, we recognized termination fee income and charges associated with the write-off of the definite-lived intangible asset associated with the joint venture. See Note 4, "Investments" for further discussion. (3) During the third quarter of 2015, we incurred $15.7 million of charges related to the closure of a bottling line within our Vancouver brewery, including $15.4 million of accelerated depreciation associated with this bottling line. Additionally, during the second quarter of 2015, we incurred $8.2 million of charges related to the closure of a bottling line within our Toronto brewery, including $7.9 million of accelerated depreciation associated with this bottling line. The decisions to close these bottling lines were made as part of an ongoing strategic review of our Canadian supply chain network and the overall shift in consumer preference toward can consumption in Canada. Additionally, in the fourth quarter of 2015, as a result of the continuation of this strategic review, we entered into an agreement to sell the Vancouver brewery with the intent to use the proceeds from the sale to help fund the construction of an efficient and flexible brewery in British Columbia. The sale is anticipated to be completed in the first quarter of 2016. In conjunction with the sale, we also agreed to leaseback the existing property to continue operations on an uninterrupted basis while the new brewery is being constructed. This transaction will result in accelerated depreciation and other charges associated with the brewery sale starting during the fourth quarter of 2015. These charges will continue to be incurred on an ongoing basis until completion of the project and will be recorded as special items, along with the anticipated gain on the sale of the property. (4) In the second quarter of 2015, we completed the closure of the Alton brewery in the U.K. as part of our strategic review of our European supply chain network. As a result, we incurred charges associated with the closure of $2.3 million and $23.4 million , for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, including accelerated depreciation in excess of our normal depreciation associated with this brewery, of $2.0 million and $21.8 million , respectively. As part of this continued strategic review of our European supply chain network, in the fourth quarter of 2015, management has made a proposal and entered into a consultation process to close our Burton South Brewery in the U.K. and consolidate production within our recently modernized Burton North brewery . As a result of management's proposal, we will incur additional charges beginning in the fourth quarter of 2015 and through completion of the closure, which we anticipate will be recorded within special items. We will continue to evaluate our supply chain network and seek opportunities for further efficiencies and cost savings, and we therefore may incur additional restructuring related charges in the future. (5) During the third quarters of 2015 and 2014, we recognized impairment charges related to indefinite-lived intangible assets in Europe. See Note 10, "Goodwill and Intangible Assets" for further discussion. (6) During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 , we recorded $2.4 million of income for insurance proceeds received related to significant flooding in Czech Republic that occurred during the second quarter of 2013. 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, 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. (7) In December 2013, we entered into an agreement with Heineken to early terminate our contract brewing and kegging agreement under which we produced and packaged the Foster's and Kronenbourg brands in the U.K. As a result of the termination, Heineken agreed to pay us an aggregate early termination payment of British Pound ("GBP") 13.0 million , of which we received GBP 5.0 million in 2014 and the remaining GBP 8.0 million on April 30, 2015. The full amount of the termination payment ( $19.4 million upon recognition) is included in income within special items for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, following the completion of the transition period in the second quarter of 2015. Separately, in June 2015, we terminated our agreement with Carlsberg whereby it held the exclusive distribution rights for the Staropramen brand in the U.K. As a result of this termination, we agreed to pay Carlsberg an early termination payment of GBP 19.0 million ( $29.4 million at payment date), which was recognized as a special charge during the second quarter of 2015. The transition period concludes on December 27, 2015, at which time we will have the exclusive distribution rights of the Staropramen brand in the U.K.

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.
Anti-dilutive securities excluded from computation of diluted earnings per share	The following anti-dilutive securities were excluded from the computation of the effect of dilutive securities on diluted EPS: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 September 30, 2014 September 30, 2015 September 30, 2014 (In millions) RSUs, stock options and SOSARs 0.1 1.2 0.1 0.1

In addition, on April 1, 2015, we completed the acquisition of Mount Shivalik Breweries Ltd., a regional brewer in India. As part of the purchase price accounting, goodwill generated in conjunction with this acquisition has been recorded within our MCI segment beginning in the second quarter of 2015 and included within the India reporting unit of our MCI segment for purposes of our annual goodwill impairment testing.

Total long-term borrowings	Our total borrowings as of September 30, 2015 , and December 31, 2014 , were comprised of the following: As of September 30, 2015 December 31, 2014 (1) (In millions) Senior notes: CAD 900 million 5.0% notes due 2015 (2) $ — $ 774.5 CAD 500 million 3.95% Series A notes due 2017 375.6 430.3 CAD 400 million 2.25% notes due 2018 (2) 300.5 — CAD 500 million 2.75% notes due 2020 (2) 375.6 — $300 million 2.0% notes due 2017 (3) 301.3 300.0 $500 million 3.5% notes due 2022 (3) 523.4 510.8 $1.1 billion 5.0% notes due 2042 1,100.0 1,100.0 Less: unamortized debt discounts and debt issuance costs (22.5 ) (20.4 ) Total long-term debt (including current portion) 2,953.9 3,095.2 Less: current portion of long-term debt — (773.9 ) Total long-term debt $ 2,953.9 $ 2,321.3 Short-term borrowings: Commercial paper program (4) $ 10.0 $ — Cash pool overdrafts (5) 9.4 64.6 Japanese Yen ("JPY") 1.5 billion line of credit (6) 10.8 4.9 Other short-term borrowings 18.0 5.6 Current portion of long-term debt — 773.9 Current portion of long-term debt and short-term borrowings $ 48.2 $ 849.0 (1) Amounts have been adjusted to reflect the adoption of the authoritative guidance requiring debt issuance costs to be presented as a direct reduction from the carrying value of the related debt. See Note 2, "New Accounting Pronouncements" for further discussion. (2) On September 18, 2015, Molson Coors International, LP, a Delaware partnership and a wholly owned subsidiary of MCBC, issued CAD 500 million 2.75% notes due September 18, 2020 ("CAD 500 million notes"), and CAD 400 million 2.25% notes due September 18, 2018 ("CAD 400 million notes", and together with the CAD 500 million notes, the "2015 Notes"). Our previously issued CAD 900 million 5.0% notes matured on September 22, 2015, and were repaid using the proceeds from the new offerings. Prior to issuing the 2015 Notes, we entered into forward starting interest rate swap agreements to hedge the interest rate volatility on CAD 600 million of the 2015 Notes beginning in the second quarter of 2014. At the time of the issuance of the 2015 Notes, the government of Canada bond rates were trading at a yield lower than that locked in by the interest rate swaps, resulting in an aggregate realized loss of CAD 39.2 million ( $29.5 million at settlement), which was recorded in other comprehensive income. A portion of this loss is being amortized into interest expense over the 5 -year and 3 -year lives of the respective 2015 Notes and will increase our effective cost of borrowing compared to the stated coupon rates by 0.65% on the CAD 500 million notes and 0.16% on the CAD 400 million notes. The remaining portion of the loss will be amortized on future debt issuances covering the full 10 -year term of the interest rate swap agreements. The cash payment associated with the settlement of the forward starting interest rate swap agreements was recorded as an operating outflow within the other assets and liabilities line item on the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. See Note 13, "Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" for further details on the forward starting interest rate swaps. (3) In the first quarter of 2015, we entered into interest rate swaps to economically convert our fixed rate $300 million 2.0% notes due 2017 (" $300 million notes") to floating rate debt consistent with the interest rate swaps on our $500 million 3.5% notes due 2022 (" $500 million notes") entered into during 2014. As a result of these hedge programs, the carrying value of the $300 million and $500 million notes include adjustments of $1.3 million and $23.4 million , respectively, for fair value movements attributable to the benchmark interest rate. The carrying value of the $500 million note included an adjustment of $10.8 million for fair value movements attributable to the benchmark interest rate as of December 31, 2014 . In the first quarter of 2015, we also entered into a cross currency swap with a total notional of Euro ("EUR") 265 million ( $300 million upon execution) in order to hedge a portion of the foreign currency translational impacts of our European investment. As a result of this cross currency swap and the above mentioned interest rate swaps, we have economically converted the $300 million notes and associated interest to a floating rate EUR denomination. The effective interest rate for the $300 million notes, adjusted for these swaps, was (0.33)% and 0.98% , for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 , respectively. The interest rate swaps on our $500 million notes resulted in an effective interest rate of 1.41% and 1.38% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 , and 1.41% and 2.74% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 , respectively. See Note 13, "Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" for further details. (4) As of September 30, 2015 , the weighted-average effective interest rate and tenor for the outstanding commercial paper borrowings was 0.45% and 17.1 days, respectively. As of September 30, 2015 , we have $740.0 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, and we have no other borrowings drawn on this revolving credit facility. (5) As of September 30, 2015 , we had $9.4 million in bank overdrafts and $63.3 million in bank cash related to our cross-border, cross-currency cash pool for a net positive position of $53.9 million . As of December 31, 2014 , we had $64.6 million in bank overdrafts and $80.0 million in bank cash related to our cross-border, cross-currency cash pool for a net positive position of $15.4 million . (6) In addition to our JPY line of credit, we have a EUR revolving credit facility and GBP and CAD overdraft facilities which we had no borrowings under as of September 30, 2015 , or December 31, 2014 . 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, 2015 , and December 31, 2014 , the fair value of our outstanding long-term debt (including current portion) was $2,873.8 million and $3,240.6 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, 2015 , and December 31, 2014 , we were in compliance with all of these restrictions and have met all debt payment obligations.
