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: MillerCoors LLC ("MillerCoors" or U.S. segment), operating in the United States ("U.S."); Molson Coors Canada ("MCC" or Canada segment), operating in Canada; Molson Coors Europe (Europe segment), operating in Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Montenegro, Republic of Ireland, Romania, Serbia, the United Kingdom ("U.K.") and various other European countries; and Molson Coors International ("MCI" or International segment), operating in various other countries. On October 11, 2016 , we completed the acquisition of SABMiller plc's ("SABMiller") 58% economic interest and 50% voting interest in MillerCoors and all trademarks, contracts and other assets primarily related to the "Miller International Business," as defined in the purchase agreement, outside of the U.S. and Puerto Rico (the "Acquisition") from Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV ("ABI"), and MillerCoors, previously a joint venture between MCBC and SABMiller, became a wholly-owned subsidiary of MCBC. Accordingly, for periods prior to October 11, 2016 , our 42% economic ownership interest in MillerCoors was accounted for under the equity method of accounting, and, therefore, its results of operations were reported as equity income in MillerCoors in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations, and our 42% share of MillerCoors' net assets was reported as investment in MillerCoors in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Beginning October 11, 2016 , MillerCoors was fully consolidated and continues to be reported as our U.S. segment. Additionally, our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2017 , and December 31, 2016 , include our acquired assets and liabilities, which were recorded at their respective acquisition-date fair values upon completion of the Acquisition. See Note 4, "Acquisition and Investments" for further discussion. Unless otherwise indicated, information in this report is presented in U.S. dollars ("USD" or "$") and comparisons are to comparable prior periods. Our primary operating currencies, other than USD, include the Canadian Dollar ("CAD"), the British Pound ("GBP"), and our Central European operating currencies such as the Euro ("EUR"), Czech Koruna ("CZK"), Croatian Kuna ("HRK") and Serbian Dinar ("RSD"). 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 ("SEC"). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 ("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 included in our Annual Report. Our accounting policies did not change in the first three quarters of 2017 . The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 , are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for the full year.

New Accounting Pronouncements

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract]
New Accounting Pronouncements	New Accounting Pronouncements New Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued authoritative guidance intended to simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating step two from the goodwill impairment test. Under the new guidance, the recognition of an impairment charge is calculated based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The guidance should be applied on a prospective basis and is effective for annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. We early adopted this guidance during the quarter ended March 31, 2017. The adoption of this guidance will impact our goodwill impairment testing on a prospective basis, to the extent that an impairment is identified in step one of our testing procedures. New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In August 2017, the FASB issued authoritative guidance intended to refine and expand hedge accounting for both financial and commodity risks. The revised guidance will create more transparency around how economic results are presented, both on the face of the financial statements and in the footnotes. In addition, this guidance makes certain targeted improvements to simplify the application of hedge accounting guidance. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those annual periods, 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 March 2017, the FASB issued authoritative guidance intended to improve the consistency, transparency and usefulness of financial information related to defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. Under the new guidance, an employer must disaggregate the service cost component from the other components of net benefit cost within the income statement. Specifically, the new guidance will require us only to report the service cost component in the same line item as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period; while the other components of net benefit cost will now be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside of operating income. The amendments in this update also allow only the service cost component to be eligible for capitalization when applicable. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual periods. The guidance related to the income statement presentation of service costs and other pension and postretirement benefit costs should be applied retrospectively, while the capitalization of service costs component should be applied prospectively. These changes will impact the presentation of net periodic pension costs and net periodic postretirement benefit costs within our results of operations upon adoption of this guidance. In February 2016, the FASB issued authoritative guidance intended to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. Under the new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability, measured on a discounted basis, at the commencement date for all leases with terms greater than twelve months. Additionally, this guidance will require disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users to better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases, including qualitative and quantitative requirements. The guidance should be applied under a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the adoption-period financial statements. Any leases that expire before the initial application date will not require any accounting adjustment. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the potential impact on our financial position and results of operations upon adoption of this guidance. This guidance will result in our existing operating leases, for certain real estate and equipment, to be recognized on our balance sheet. We will further analyze our lease arrangements as we complete our assessment and implementation of this new 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. The guidance also includes enhanced disclosure requirements which are intended to help financial statement users better understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue being recognized. Subsequent to the release of this guidance, the FASB has issued additional updates intended to provide interpretive clarifications and to reduce the cost and complexity of applying the new revenue recognition standard both at transition and on an ongoing basis. The new standard and related amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those annual periods. Upon adoption of the new standard, the use of either a full retrospective or cumulative effect transition method is permitted. We currently anticipate that we will utilize the cumulative effect transition method, however, this expectation may change following the completion of our evaluation of the impact of this guidance on our financial statements. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact this new guidance will have on our financial statements and to our revenue recognition policies, controls and procedures. Based on the work completed to-date and our evaluation of the five-step approach outlined within the guidance, we do not believe that the new guidance will have a significant impact to our core revenue generating activities. However, we currently anticipate that the new standard may impact the presentation of certain cash payments made to customers, as well as the timing of recognition of certain promotional discounts. Specifically, certain cash payments to customers are currently recorded within marketing, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. Upon adoption of the new guidance, we anticipate that many of these cash payments may not meet the specific criteria within the new guidance of providing a “distinct” good or service, and therefore, would be required to be presented as a reduction of revenue. Furthermore, upon adoption of the new guidance, certain of our promotional discounts, which are deemed variable consideration under the new guidance, will be recognized at the time of the related shipment of product, which is earlier than recognized under current guidance. We anticipate that this change in recognition timing will shift financial statement recognition primarily amongst quarters, however, do not anticipate that the full-year impact will be significant to our financial results. We are continuing to evaluate the potential impact the new guidance will have on our financial statements. We have not fully completed this evaluation and therefore, we may identify further impacts in addition to those identified above. We have begun training related to the implications of the new guidance and commenced implementation efforts for areas of impact identified to-date. As we further complete our evaluation process, we will update our discussion of the anticipated impacts of the new standard as appropriate. 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 unaudited condensed consolidated interim 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 the U.S., Canada, Europe and International. 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 as well as the unrealized changes in fair value on our commodity swaps not designated in hedging relationships recorded within cost of goods sold, which are later reclassified when realized to the segment in which the underlying exposure resides. Effective January 1, 2017, European markets including Sweden, Spain, Germany, Ukraine and Russia, which were previously reported under our International segment, are reported within our Europe segment. Additionally, effective January 1, 2017, the results of the MillerCoors Puerto Rico business, which were previously reported as part of the U.S. segment, are reported within the International segment. We have not recast historical results for these changes on the basis of immateriality. No single customer accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 , or September 30, 2016 . Consolidated net sales represent sales to third-party external customers less excise taxes. Inter-segment transactions impacting net sales revenues and income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes eliminate in consolidation and are primarily related to U.S. segment sales to the other segments. The following tables present net sales, income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes and total assets by segment: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 September 30, 2016 September 30, 2017 September 30, 2016 (In millions) U.S. (1) $ 1,892.2 $ — $ 5,781.0 $ — Canada 406.4 402.2 1,105.1 1,096.1 Europe 561.2 512.6 1,467.5 1,393.4 International 65.7 33.4 192.6 103.6 Corporate 0.3 0.2 0.9 0.8 Inter-segment net sales eliminations (42.6 ) (0.8 ) (123.9 ) (2.9 ) Consolidated net sales $ 2,883.2 $ 947.6 $ 8,423.2 $ 2,591.0 (1) Prior to October 11, 2016 , MCBC’s 42% share of MillerCoors' results of operations was reported as equity income in MillerCoors in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

(2) In the first quarter of 2017, the largest food and retail company in Croatia, Agrokor, announced that it was facing significant financial difficulties that raised doubt about the collectibility of certain of our outstanding receivables with its direct subsidiaries. These subsidiaries are customers of ours within the Europe segment and, therefore, we are closely monitoring the situation. Specifically, Agrokor has entered into active discussions with local regulators, financial institutions and other creditors to stabilize and restructure its business and sustain ongoing operations. Our exposure related to Agrokor, as of September 30, 2017 , was approximately $11 million , based on foreign exchange rates as of September 30, 2017 . Based on the facts and circumstances known at this time, we recorded a provision for an estimate of uncollectible receivables of approximately $11 million in the first quarter of 2017, and this allowance, in local currency, remains at September 30, 2017 . Separately, we released an indirect tax loss contingency, which was initially recorded in the fourth quarter of 2016, for a benefit of approximately $50 million during the first quarter of 2017; see Note 16, "Commitments and Contingencies" for details. Income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes includes the impact of special items. Refer to Note 6, "Special Items" for further discussion.

Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract]
Acquisition and Investments	Acquisition and Investments Acquisition On October 11, 2016 , we completed the Acquisition for $12.0 billion in cash, subject to a downward adjustment as described in the purchase agreement. Prior to the Acquisition, MCBC owned a 50% voting and 42% economic interest in MillerCoors and MillerCoors was accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Following the completion of the Acquisition, MillerCoors, which was previously a joint venture between MCBC and SABMiller, became a wholly-owned subsidiary of MCBC and its results were fully consolidated by MCBC prospectively beginning on October 11, 2016 . We have a downward purchase price adjustment, as described in the purchase agreement, if the unaudited U.S. GAAP earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") for the Miller International Business for the twelve months prior to closing is below $70 million . The determination for the amount of the downward purchase price adjustment, if any, is ongoing pursuant to the terms of the purchase agreement. Under the acquisition method of accounting, MCBC recorded all assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their respective acquisition-date fair values. The excess of total consideration, including the estimated fair value of our previously held equity interest in MillerCoors, over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed was recorded as goodwill. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recorded adjustments to our preliminary purchase price allocation, primarily related to the recognition of certain deferred tax assets, partially offset by the recognition of certain accrued liabilities. The net impact of these changes was a decrease to goodwill of $92.1 million . There were no other changes to our allocated amounts during the first three quarters of 2017, and our purchase price allocation is now finalized. Separately, early in the fourth quarter of 2017, and prior to the completion of our one year measurement period, we completed the allocation of goodwill to our reporting units resulting from synergies, with the goodwill predominantly assigned to the U.S. reporting unit, and a portion allocated to the Canada and Europe reporting units. Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information The following unaudited pro forma financial information gives effect to the Acquisition and the completed financing as if they were completed on January 1, 2016, the first day of our 2016 fiscal year and the pro forma adjustments are based on items that are factually supportable, are directly attributable to the Acquisition and are expected to have a continuing impact on MCBC's results of operations. The unaudited pro forma financial information has been calculated after applying MCBC’s accounting policies and adjusting the results of MillerCoors to reflect the additional depreciation and amortization that would have been charged assuming the fair value adjustments to property, plant and equipment and intangible assets had been applied from January 1, 2016, together with the consequential tax effects. Pro forma adjustments have been made to remove non-recurring transaction-related costs included in historical results as well as to reflect the incremental interest expense to be prospectively incurred on the debt and term loans issued to finance the Acquisition, in addition to other pro forma adjustments. See the below table for significant non-recurring costs. Also, see Note 7, "Other Income and Expense" for details related to certain financing-related expenses incurred. Additionally, the following unaudited pro forma financial information does not reflect the impact of the acquisition of the Miller global brand portfolio and other assets primarily related to the Miller International Business as we are not able to estimate the historical results of operations from this business and have concluded, based on the limited information available to MCBC, that it is insignificant to the overall Acquisition. The purchase price allocation reflects the estimated value allocated to the Miller global brand portfolio reported within identifiable intangible assets subject to amortization. The unaudited pro forma financial information below does not reflect the realization of any expected ongoing synergies relating to the integration of MillerCoors. Further, the unaudited pro forma financial information should not be considered indicative of the results that would have occurred if the Acquisition and related financing had been consummated on January 1, 2016, nor are they indicative of future results.

Special items during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 , also include a postretirement benefit curtailment gain related to the closure of Eden of $25.7 million . The following represents our proportionate share in net income attributable to MillerCoors reported under the equity method of accounting prior to the Acquisition: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016 (in millions, except percentages) Net income attributable to MillerCoors $ 369.2 $ 1,134.0 MCBC's economic interest 42 % 42 % MCBC's proportionate share of MillerCoors' net income 155.1 476.3 Amortization of the difference between MCBC's contributed cost basis and proportionate share of the underlying equity in net assets of MillerCoors 1.1 3.3 Share-based compensation adjustment (1) (0.5 ) (0.7 ) U.S. import tax benefit (2) 1.2 12.3 Equity income in MillerCoors $ 156.9 $ 491.2 (1) The net adjustment is to eliminate all share-based compensation impacts related to pre-existing SABMiller equity awards held by former Miller Brewing Company employees employed by MillerCoors, as well as to add back all share-based compensation impacts related to pre-existing MCBC equity awards held by former MCBC employees who transferred to MillerCoors. (2) Represents a benefit associated with an anticipated refund to Coors Brewing Company ("CBC"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of MCBC, of U.S. federal excise tax paid on products imported by CBC based on qualifying volumes exported by CBC from the U.S. The following table summarizes our transactions with MillerCoors prior to the Acquisition when it was accounted for under the equity method of accounting: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016 (In millions) Beer sales to MillerCoors $ 2.6 $ 7.2 Beer purchases from MillerCoors $ 9.3 $ 31.4 Service agreement costs and other charges to MillerCoors $ 0.6 $ 1.9 Service agreement costs and other charges from MillerCoors $ 0.7 $ 0.9 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, 2017 , or December 31, 2016 . 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, 2017 , and December 31, 2016 , our consolidated VIEs are Cobra Beer Partnership, Ltd. ("Cobra U.K."), Grolsch U.K. Ltd. ("Grolsch"), Rocky Mountain Metal Container ("RMMC") and Rocky Mountain Bottle Company ("RMBC"). RMMC and RMBC were previously consolidated VIEs of MillerCoors and as a result of the Acquisition, are now MCBC consolidated VIEs. Our unconsolidated VIEs are Brewers Retail Inc. ("BRI") and Brewers' Distributor Ltd. ("BDL"). Both BRI and BDL have outstanding third party debt which is guaranteed by its shareholders. As a result, we have a guarantee liability of $47.0 million and $31.7 million recorded as of September 30, 2017 , and December 31, 2016 , respectively, which is presented within accounts payable and other current liabilities on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets and represents our proportionate share of the outstanding balance of these debt instruments. The carrying value of the guarantee liability equals 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 respective equity method investment within the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The resulting change in our equity method investments during the year due to movements in the guarantee represents a non-cash investing activity.

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract]
Share-Based Payments	Share-Based Payments We have one share-based compensation plan, the MCBC Incentive Compensation Plan (the "Incentive Compensation Plan"), as of September 30, 2017 , and all outstanding awards fall under this plan. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 , and September 30, 2016 , 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 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 upon grant, which remains constant throughout the vesting period of three years, and a performance multiplier, which will vary due to changing estimates of the performance metric condition. Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 September 30, 2016 September 30, 2017 September 30, 2016 (In millions) Pretax compensation expense $ 14.6 $ 6.9 $ 46.2 $ 20.0 Tax benefit (5.1 ) (1.9 ) (15.9 ) (5.7 ) After-tax compensation expense $ 9.5 $ 5.0 $ 30.3 $ 14.3 The increase in expense in the first three quarters of 2017 was primarily driven by the issuance of replacement awards to MillerCoors employees in connection with the completion of the Acquisition, as well as accelerated expense related to certain awards during the first quarter of 2017. As of September 30, 2017 , there was $75.0 million of total unrecognized compensation expense from all share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Incentive Compensation Plan, related to unvested awards. This total compensation expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.8 years.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , and September 30, 2016 , cash received from stock option exercises was $3.6 million and $8.2 million , respectively, and total tax benefits realized, including excess tax benefits, from share-based awards vested or exercised was $20.0 million and $13.1 million , respectively. The fair value of each option granted in the first three quarters of 2017 and 2016 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, 2017 September 30, 2016 Risk-free interest rate 2.04% 1.40% Dividend yield 1.64% 1.81% Volatility range 22.40%-22.88% 23.16%-24.64% Weighted-average volatility 22.52% 23.53% Expected term (years) 5.1 5.2 Weighted-average fair market value $18.66 $16.65 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 2017 and 2016 was determined on the date of grant using a Monte Carlo model to simulate total stockholder return for MCBC and peer companies with the following weighted-average assumptions: Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 September 30, 2016 Risk-free interest rate 1.59% 1.04% Dividend yield 1.64% 1.81% Volatility range 13.71%-80.59% 14.10%-77.11% Weighted-average volatility 24.24% 23.68% Expected term (years) 2.8 2.8 Weighted-average fair market value $97.13 $90.49 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, 2017 , there were 4.3 million shares of the Company's Class B common stock available for issuance as awards under the Incentive Compensation Plan.

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.

Products produced in Eden were transitioned to other breweries in the U.S. supply chain network and the Eden brewery is now closed. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 , certain costs related to the closure of the brewery were recorded within special items. (2) As part of our ongoing strategic review of our Canadian supply chain network, we completed the sale of our Vancouver brewery on March 31, 2016, and we recognized a gain of $110.4 million within special items in the first quarter of 2016, resulting in net cash proceeds received in the second quarter of 2016 of CAD 183.1 million ( $140.8 million ). In conjunction with the sale of the brewery, we agreed to leaseback the existing property to continue operations on an uninterrupted basis while our new brewery is being constructed. We have evaluated this transaction pursuant to the accounting guidance for sale-leaseback transactions, and concluded that the relevant criteria had been met for full gain recognition. Additionally, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 , and 2016, we incurred other abandonment charges, consisting primarily of accelerated depreciation charges in excess of normal depreciation, related to the planned closure of the Vancouver brewery, which is currently expected to occur in the third quarter of 2019. Additionally, in the third quarter of 2017, as a result of the continuation of this strategic review, we announced the plan to build a more efficient and flexible brewery in the greater Montreal area. As a result of this decision, we have begun to develop plans to transition out of our existing Montreal brewery. Accordingly, we incurred accelerated depreciation charges associated with the existing brewery closure in the third quarter of 2017, of which the amount in excess of normal depreciation is recorded within special items. We expect to incur additional charges, including estimated accelerated depreciation charges in excess of normal depreciation of approximately CAD 95 million , through final closure of the brewery, which is currently expected to occur in 2021. However, due to the uncertainty inherent in our estimates, these estimated future accelerated depreciation charges as well as the timing of the brewery closure are subject to change. (3) As a result of our continued strategic review of our European supply chain network, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 , and 2016, we incurred charges consisting primarily of accelerated depreciation in excess of normal depreciation related to the planned closure of our Burton South brewery. Separately, during the three months ended September 30, 2017, we completed the sale of land related to our previously closed Plovdiv brewery and received net cash proceeds of $8.2 million and recognized a gain of $4.8 million within special items. (4) Based on an interim impairment assessment performed during the second quarter of 2016, which was triggered by the enactment of total alcohol prohibition in the state of Bihar, India, on April 5, 2016, we recorded an impairment loss in the second quarter of 2016. (5) During the third quarter of 2016, we received the final settlement of insurance proceeds related to losses incurred by our Europe business from flooding in Serbia, Bosnia and Croatia that occurred during 2014. Restructuring Activities Beginning in 2016, restructuring initiatives related to the integration of MillerCoors after the completion of the Acquisition were implemented in order to operate a more efficient business and achieve cost saving targets which to-date resulted in reduced employment levels by approximately 84 employees. Severance costs related to these restructuring activities were recorded as special items within our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. As we continually evaluate our cost structure and seek opportunities for further efficiencies and cost savings as part of these initiatives, we may incur additional restructuring related charges in the future, however, we are unable to estimate the amount of charges at this time. We have continued our ongoing assessment of our supply chain strategies across our segments in order to align with our cost saving objectives. As part of this strategic review, which began in 2014, we have had restructuring activities related to the closure of the Alton and Plovdiv breweries and our current planned closures of the Vancouver and Burton South breweries. As a result, we have reduced employment levels by a total of 404 employees, of which 332 and 72 relate to 2015 and 2014 restructuring programs, respectively. Consequently, we recognized severance and other employee-related charges, which we have recorded as special items within our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. 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 or adjustments to previously recorded charges in the future, however, we are unable to estimate the amount of charges at this time. The accrued restructuring balances represent expected future cash payments required to satisfy the remaining severance obligations to terminated employees, the majority of which we expect to be paid in the next 12 to 15 months.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Tax	Income Tax Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 September 30, 2016 September 30, 2017 September 30, 2016 Effective tax rate 34 % 9 % 29 % 10 % Our effective tax rates were lower than the U.S. 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. The increase in the effective tax rate during the third quarter and first nine months of 2017 versus 2016 , is primarily driven by the inclusion of 100% of MillerCoors' pretax income following the completion of the Acquisition, which is subject to the U.S. federal and state income tax rates, as well as the favorable impacts of tax benefits recognized in the prior year from transaction-related costs resulting from the Acquisition and favorable tax treatment associated with the sale of our Vancouver brewery in the first quarter of 2016 . These drivers were further impacted by a net discrete tax expense recognized in 2017 compared to a net discrete tax benefit recognized in 2016. Specifically, our total net discrete tax expense was $29.5 million and $19.8 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2017 , respectively, versus a $5.0 million and $17.2 million net discrete tax benefit recognized in the third quarter and first nine months of 2016 , respectively. The net discrete tax expense recognized during the third quarter of 2017 was driven primarily by certain acquisition-related permanent items. The net discrete tax expense recognized during the first nine months of 2017 was driven by the above mentioned acquisition-related permanent items, as well as the recognition of liabilities for uncertain tax positions, partially offset by the release of valuation allowances in certain jurisdictions and excess tax benefits from share-based compensation. 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, excess tax benefits from share-based compensation, changes in tax laws, and the movement of liabilities established pursuant to accounting guidance for uncertain tax positions as statutes of limitations expire, positions are effectively settled, or when additional information becomes available. There are proposed or pending tax law changes in various jurisdictions and other changes to regulatory environments in countries in which we do business that, if enacted, may have an impact on our effective tax rate.

Separately, early in the fourth quarter, and prior to the completion of the one year measurement period, we completed the allocation of goodwill to our reporting units resulting from synergies, with the goodwill predominantly assigned to the U.S. reporting unit, and a portion allocated to the Canada and Europe reporting units. Refer to Note 4, "Acquisition and Investments" for further details. The following table presents details of our intangible assets, other than goodwill, as of September 30, 2017 : Useful life Gross Accumulated amortization Net (Years) (In millions) Intangible assets subject to amortization: Brands 10 - 50 $ 5,200.1 $ (464.9 ) $ 4,735.2 License agreements and distribution rights 15 - 28 236.4 (102.3 ) 134.1 Other 2 - 40 141.4 (38.4 ) 103.0 Intangible assets not subject to amortization: Brands Indefinite 8,194.9 — 8,194.9 Distribution networks Indefinite 811.1 — 811.1 Other Indefinite 337.5 — 337.5 Total $ 14,921.4 $ (605.6 ) $ 14,315.8 The following table presents details of our intangible assets, other than goodwill, as of December 31, 2016 : Useful life Gross Accumulated amortization Net (Years) (In millions) Intangible assets subject to amortization: Brands 10 - 50 $ 4,876.3 $ (288.2 ) $ 4,588.1 License agreements and distribution rights 15 - 28 225.9 (89.4 ) 136.5 Other 2 - 40 129.3 (26.4 ) 102.9 Intangible assets not subject to amortization: Brands Indefinite 8,114.2 — 8,114.2 Distribution networks Indefinite 752.6 — 752.6 Other Indefinite 337.6 — 337.6 Total $ 14,435.9 $ (404.0 ) $ 14,031.9 The changes in the gross carrying amounts of intangibles from December 31, 2016 , to September 30, 2017 , are primarily driven by the impact of foreign exchange rates, as a significant amount of intangibles are denominated in foreign currencies. Based on foreign exchange rates as of September 30, 2017 , the estimated future amortization expense of intangible assets is as follows: Fiscal year Amount (In millions) 2017 - remaining $ 55.9 2018 $ 222.9 2019 $ 222.0 2020 $ 221.0 2021 $ 215.5 Amortization expense of intangible assets was $55.8 million and $9.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 , and September 30, 2016 , respectively, and $166.1 million and $29.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , and September 30, 2016 , respectively. The increase in amortization expense over the prior year is primarily attributable to the addition of MillerCoors definite-lived intangible asset amortization following the completion of the Acquisition, as well as the reclassification of the Molson core brand intangible assets from indefinite to definite-lived following the completion of our annual impairment test as of October 1, 2016. This expense is primarily presented within marketing, general and administrative expenses on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. We completed our required annual goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible impairment testing as of October 1, 2016, the first day of our fourth quarter, and concluded there were no impairments of goodwill within our Canada, Europe or India reporting units; however, an impairment charge was recorded on the Molson core brand intangible asset in Canada as a result of this review. Outside of the Molson core brands impairment, there were no other impairments of our indefinite-lived intangible assets as a result of the annual review process. Annual Goodwill Impairment Testing Our 2016 annual goodwill impairment testing determined that the fair value of our Canada reporting unit had declined, largely due to continued economic and competitive challenges negatively impacting our business, including sustained challenges facing the Molson core brands. Our Europe reporting unit continued to be considered 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 29% in excess of carrying value, respectively, as of the October 1, 2016, testing date. The fair value of the India reporting unit approximated its carrying value, as there were no significant changes indicating a reduction in the fair value of the reporting unit since our completion of the interim impairment assessment during the second quarter of 2016 or annual impairment assessment as of October 1, 2016. Key Assumptions As of the date of our annual impairment test, performed as of October 1, the Europe reporting unit goodwill is at risk of future impairment in the event of significant unfavorable changes in the forecasted cash flows (including prolonged, or further weakening of, adverse economic conditions or significant unfavorable changes in tax, environmental or other regulations, including interpretations thereof), 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. 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 reporting units and indefinite-lived intangibles may include such items as: (i) a decrease in expected future cash flows, specifically, a decrease in sales volume and increase in costs 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) adverse changes in macroeconomic conditions or an economic recovery that significantly differs from our assumptions in timing and/or degree (such as a recession or worsening of the overall European economy), (iii) volatility in the equity and debt markets or other country specific factors which could result in a higher weighted-average cost of capital, (iv) sensitivity to market multiples; and (v) regulation limiting or banning the manufacturing, distribution or sale of alcoholic beverages. Based on known facts and circumstances, we evaluate and consider recent events and uncertain items, as well as related potential implications, as part of our annual assessment and incorporate into the analyses as appropriate. These facts and circumstances are subject to change and may impact future analyses. While historical performance and current expectations have resulted in fair values of our reporting units and indefinite-lived intangible assets 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. Indefinite and Definite-Lived Intangibles Regarding indefinite and definite-lived intangibles, we continuously monitor the performance of the underlying assets for potential triggering events suggesting an impairment review should be performed. No such triggering events were identified in the first three quarters of 2017 that resulted in an impairment.

As of September 30, 2017 , and December 31, 2016, the aggregate weighted-average effective coupon interest rates of our senior notes were 2.89% and 3.33% , respectively. On March 15, 2017, MCBC issued approximately $1.5 billion of senior notes, consisting of $500 million 1.90% senior notes due March 15, 2019 , and $500 million 2.25% senior notes due March 15, 2020 (collectively, the "2017 USD Notes") and EUR 500 million floating rate senior notes due March 15, 2019 ("2017 EUR Notes") (2017 USD Notes and 2017 EUR Notes, collectively, the "2017 Notes"). We bear quarterly interest on the 2017 EUR Notes at the rate of 0.35% plus three-month EURIBOR . These issuances resulted in total proceeds of approximately $1.5 billion , net of underwriting fees and discounts of $3.1 million and $0.7 million , respectively. Total debt issuance costs capitalized in connection with these notes, including underwriting fees, discounts and other financing related costs, were $6.1 million and are being amortized over the respective terms of the 2017 Notes. The 2017 Notes began accruing interest upon issuance, with quarterly payments due on the 2017 EUR Notes beginning June 15, 2017, and semi-annual payments due on the 2017 USD Notes beginning September 15, 2017. In the first quarter of 2017, we entered into interest rate swaps to economically convert our fixed rate 2017 USD Notes to floating rate debt. As a result of these hedge programs, the carrying value of the $500 million 1.90% notes and $500 million 2.25% notes include adjustments of $0.7 million decreasing and $0.3 million decreasing, respectively, for fair value movements attributable to the benchmark interest rate as of September 30, 2017 . Prior to issuing the 2017 EUR Notes, we entered into foreign currency forward agreements to economically hedge the foreign currency exposure of a portion of the respective notes, which were subsequently settled on March 15, 2017, concurrent with the issuance of the 2017 EUR Notes. Additionally, upon issuance we designated the 2017 EUR Notes as a net investment hedge of our Europe business. See Note 14, "Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" for further details. During the second quarter of 2017, we repaid our $300.0 million 2.0% notes using commercial paper. Subsequent to the third quarter of 2017, on October 6, 2017, we repaid our CAD 500.0 million 3.95% notes as further discussed below. (2) During the first quarter of 2017, the net proceeds from the 2017 Notes were used to repay the remaining $800.0 million on our 3 -year tranche term loan due 2019 and make principal payments of $700.0 million on our 5 -year tranche term loan due 2021, and accordingly we accelerated the related unamortized debt issuance costs. During the second quarter of 2017, we made principal payments of $400.0 million on our 5 -year tranche term loan due 2021, and accordingly we accelerated the related unamortized debt issuance costs. During the third quarter of 2017, we repaid the remaining $400.0 million on our 5 -year tranche term loan due 2021 utilizing borrowings under our commercial paper program, thereby further reducing our available borrowings under our $1.5 billion revolving multi-credit facility as further discussed below, and accordingly, recorded the remaining accelerated unamortized debt issuance costs to interest expense. The term loans were fully repaid as of July 19, 2017. (3) As of September 30, 2017 , the outstanding borrowings under our commercial paper program were approximately $1.0 billion at a weighted-average effective interest rate and tenor of 1.64% and 35 days, respectively. There were no outstanding borrowings under our commercial paper program as of December 31, 2016. During the third quarter of 2017, we increased the size of our commercial paper program to a maximum amount of $1.5 billion . We used proceeds from the commercial paper to fund the repayment of our CAD 500.0 million 3.95% notes due October 6, 2017. As noted above, we also used commercial paper to repay our $300.0 million 2.0% notes during the second quarter of 2017 and the remaining outstanding balance on our 5 -year tranche term loan during the third quarter of 2017. (4) As of September 30, 2017 , we had $13.2 million in bank overdrafts and $88.2 million in bank cash related to our cross-border, cross-currency cash pool, for a net positive position of $75.0 million . As of December 31, 2016 , we had $2.6 million in bank overdrafts and $18.0 million in bank cash related to our cross-border, cross-currency cash pool for a net positive position of $15.4 million . We had total outstanding borrowings of $3.1 million and $7.0 million under our two Japanese Yen ("JPY") overdraft facilities as of September 30, 2017 , and December 31, 2016 , respectively. In addition, we have GBP and CAD lines of credit under which we had no borrowings as of September 30, 2017 , or December 31, 2016 . 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, 2017 , and December 31, 2016 , the fair value of our outstanding long-term debt (including the current portion of long-term debt) was approximately $11.6 billion and $12.0 billion , respectively. All senior notes are valued based on significant observable inputs and 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 in the fair value hierarchy. Revolving Credit Facility On July 7, 2017, we entered into a 5 -year, $1.5 billion revolving multi-currency credit facility, which provides a $150 million sub-facility available for the issuance of letters of credit. This $1.5 billion revolving credit facility replaced our pre-existing $750 million revolving credit facility, which would have matured in the second quarter of 2019. In connection with the new revolving credit facility, we increased the size of our existing commercial paper program to a maximum aggregate amount outstanding at any time of $1.5 billion . Concurrent with these transactions, in the third quarter of 2017, we incurred $3.4 million of issuance costs related to the $1.5 billion revolving credit facility, which are being amortized over the term of the agreement. As of September 30, 2017 , we had approximately $495 million available to draw under our $1.5 billion revolving multi-currency credit facility, as the borrowing capacity is reduced by borrowings under our commercial paper program. We have no other borrowings drawn on this revolving credit facility as of September 30, 2017. Additionally, under the new $1.5 billion revolving credit facility, the maximum leverage ratio has changed from 5.75x debt to EBITDA, with a decline to 3.75x debt to EBITDA in the fourth year following the closing of the Acquisition, to a maximum leverage ratio of 5.75x debt to EBITDA, with a decline to 4.00x debt to EBITDA as of the last day of the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2020. Under the terms of each of our debt facilities, we must comply with certain restrictions. These include customary events of default and specified representations and warranties and covenants, including, among other things, covenants that restrict our ability to incur certain additional priority indebtedness, create or permit liens on assets, or engage in mergers or consolidations. As of September 30, 2017 , we were in compliance with all of these restrictions and have met all debt payment obligations. All of our outstanding senior notes as of September 30, 2017 , rank pari-passu.

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 16 of the Notes included in our Annual Report and did not significantly change during the first three quarters of 2017. As noted in Note 16 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 on a gross basis in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Except as noted below, our significant derivative positions have not changed considerably since year-end. Interest Rate Swaps In the first quarter of 2017, we entered into interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $1.0 billion to economically convert our fixed rate $1.0 billion 2017 USD Notes to floating rate debt. We will receive fixed interest payments semi-annually at a rate of 1.90% and 2.25% per annum on our $500 million senior notes due March 15, 2019 , and $500 million senior notes due March 15, 2020 , respectively, and pay a rate to our counterparties based on a credit spread plus the one 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 each of our $500 million notes that results from fluctuations in the benchmark interest rate, specifically LIBOR, and have designated these swaps as fair value hedges and determined that there is zero ineffectiveness. The changes in fair value of derivatives designated as fair value hedges and the offsetting changes in fair value of the hedged item are recognized in earnings. The changes in fair value of the two $500 million interest rate swaps were recorded in interest expense in our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations and were fully offset by changes in fair value of the two $500 million notes attributable to the benchmark interest rate, also recorded to interest expense. See Note 11, "Debt" for additional details. Net Investment Hedges On March 15, 2017 , we issued an aggregate of EUR 500 million (approximately $530 million at issuance), three-month EURIBOR floating rate senior notes due March 15, 2019 . We simultaneously designated the principal of the 2017 EUR Notes as a net investment hedge of our investment in our Europe business in order to hedge a portion of the foreign currency translational impacts and, accordingly, will record changes in the carrying value of the 2017 EUR Notes due to fluctuations in the spot rate to AOCI. See Note 11, "Debt" for further discussion. Foreign Currency Forwards Prior to issuing the 2017 EUR Notes on March 15, 2017 , we entered into foreign currency forward agreements in the first quarter of 2017 with a total notional amount of EUR 499.0 million , representing a majority of the anticipated net proceeds from the issuance of the respective 2017 EUR Notes, to economically hedge the foreign currency exposure of the associated notes against the USD prior to issuance and to convert the proceeds to USD upon issuance through gross settlement. We settled these foreign currency forwards on March 15, 2017 , resulting in a loss of $8.3 million . See Note 11, "Debt" for further details related to the issuance. These foreign currency forwards were not designated in hedge accounting relationships, and, accordingly, the mark-to-market fair value adjustments and resulting losses were recorded to other income (expense). 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, as appropriate. The table below summarizes our derivative assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value as of September 30, 2017 , and December 31, 2016 .

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 since December 31, 2016 ; therefore, all changes in the current and non-current liabilities of discontinued operations during the first three quarters of 2017 are due to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates from December 31, 2016 , to September 30, 2017 . During the three months ended September 30, 2017 , and September 30, 2016 , we recognized unrealized foreign exchange losses of $0.2 million and zero impact, respectively, from discontinued operations associated with foreign exchange movements related to indemnities we provided to FEMSA, and during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , and September 30, 2016 , we recognized unrealized gains of $0.8 million and unrealized losses of $2.3 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 $110.7 million , based on foreign exchange rates as of September 30, 2017 . 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, 2017 , and December 31, 2016 , the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets include liabilities related to these guarantees of $51.7 million and $36.1 million , respectively, primarily related to the guarantee of the indebtedness of our equity method investments. See Note 4, "Acquisition and Investments" for further detail. Litigation, Other Disputes and Environmental Related to litigation, other disputes and environmental issues, we have accrued an aggregate of $19.5 million as of September 30, 2017 , and $27.7 million as of December 31, 2016 . While we cannot predict the eventual aggregate cost for environmental and related matters in which we are currently involved, we believe adequate reserves have been provided for losses that are probable and estimable. Further, 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. Additionally, we believe that any reasonably possible losses in excess of the amounts accrued are immaterial to our unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements, except as otherwise noted. 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 noted, 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. Each year since 2014, we received assessments from a local country regulatory authority related to indirect tax calculations in our Europe operations. The aggregate amount of the assessments received at the time of resolution of this matter was approximately $139 million . We challenged the validity of these assessments and defended our position regarding our method of calculation, including by following the required regulatory procedures in order to proceed with an appeal of the assessments. During the fourth quarter of 2016, following discussions with the regulatory authority and consideration of existing facts and circumstances at that time, we concluded that a portion of this estimated range of loss was deemed probable. As a result, we recorded a charge of approximately $50 million within the excise taxes line item on the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2016. During the first quarter of 2017, a local jurisdictional court heard evidence in this matter and subsequently ruled in our favor in April 2017. Based on this favorable ruling, we released this provision in the first quarter of 2017 as we no longer deemed this loss probable. This resulted in a benefit of approximately $50 million , recorded within the excise taxes line item on the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations during the quarter ended March, 31, 2017. During the second quarter of 2017, we received formal confirmation from the regulatory authority that they would not appeal the local jurisdictional court ruling, and the regulatory authority has since withdrawn its assessments. As a result, we believe this dispute is fully resolved. 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 ("LCBO"), 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 approximately CAD 1.4 billion . 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 Our environmental matters and liabilities are presented in Note 18 of the Notes included in our Annual Report and did not significantly change during the first three quarters of 2017.

Supplemental Guarantor Information [Abstract]
Supplemental Guarantor Information	Supplemental Guarantor Information For purposes of this Note 17 , including the tables, "Parent Issuer" shall mean MCBC. "Subsidiary Guarantors" shall mean certain Canadian and U.S. subsidiaries reflecting the substantial operations of each of our Canada and U.S. segments. 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 (subsequently repaid in the second quarter of 2017, see Note 11, "Debt" for further details), $500 million 3.5% senior notes due 2022, and $1.1 billion 5.0% senior notes due 2042. Additionally, on July 7, 2016, MCBC issued $500 million 1.45% senior notes due 2019, $1.0 billion 2.10% senior notes due 2021, $2.0 billion 3.0% senior notes due 2026, $1.8 billion 4.2% senior notes due 2046 and EUR $800.0 million 1.25% senior notes due 2024, in a registered public offering. "Parent Issuer" in the below tables is specifically referring to MCBC in its capacity as the issuer of these 2012 and 2016 issuances. 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 Issuer. The guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and several. None of our other outstanding debt is registered with the SEC, and such other outstanding debt is guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Parent and/or 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, 2017 . Presentation During the third quarter of 2017, we identified and corrected an error in the calculation of subsidiary guarantor equity income (loss) in subsidiaries in interim periods and for the year ended December 31, 2016. This resulted in the revisions shown below, including all relevant sub-totals. The revisions do not impact any interim periods for 2017 nor did the revisions impact the condensed consolidating balance sheets or the condensed consolidating statement of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2016, or any interim 2016 periods. The changes to our historical condensed consolidating statements of operations are not material to the financial statements taken as a whole for any periods impacted. The corrections for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, are reflected in the consolidating financial information presented below. The revisions to the consolidating information for the year ended December 31, 2016, as reflected below, will be adjusted when we file our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2017. Subsidiary Guarantors Eliminations As previously reported As adjusted As previously reported As adjusted For the three months ended September 30, 2016: Equity income (loss) in subsidiaries $ (19.4 ) $ 7.9 $ (365.5 ) $ (392.8 ) Net income (loss) from continuing operations $ 261.4 $ 288.7 $ (365.5 ) $ (392.8 ) For the nine months ended September 30, 2016: Equity income (loss) in subsidiaries $ (223.7 ) $ (123.4 ) $ (842.7 ) $ (943.0 ) Net income (loss) from continuing operations $ 622.5 $ 722.8 $ (842.7 ) $ (943.0 ) For the year ended December 31, 2016: Equity income (loss) in subsidiaries $ (21.8 ) $ (347.6 ) $ (2,100.9 ) $ (1,775.1 ) Net income (loss) from continuing operations $ 2,575.4 $ 2,249.6 $ (2,100.9 ) $ (1,775.1 ) The following information sets forth the unaudited condensed consolidating statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 , and September 30, 2016 , unaudited condensed consolidating balance sheets as of September 30, 2017 , and December 31, 2016 , and unaudited condensed consolidating statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , and September 30, 2016 . Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for under the equity method; accordingly, entries necessary to consolidate the Parent Issuer 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.

Segments	Our reporting segments include: MillerCoors LLC ("MillerCoors" or U.S. segment), operating in the United States ("U.S."); Molson Coors Canada ("MCC" or Canada segment), operating in Canada; Molson Coors Europe (Europe segment), operating in Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Montenegro, Republic of Ireland, Romania, Serbia, the United Kingdom ("U.K.") and various other European countries; and Molson Coors International ("MCI" or International segment), operating in various other countries.
New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted	In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued authoritative guidance intended to simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating step two from the goodwill impairment test. Under the new guidance, the recognition of an impairment charge is calculated based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The guidance should be applied on a prospective basis and is effective for annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. We early adopted this guidance during the quarter ended March 31, 2017. The adoption of this guidance will impact our goodwill impairment testing on a prospective basis, to the extent that an impairment is identified in step one of our testing procedures.

As a result of the Acquisition, beginning October 11, 2016 , MillerCoors' results were fully consolidated into MCBC’s consolidated financial statements. (2) In the first quarter of 2017, the largest food and retail company in Croatia, Agrokor, announced that it was facing significant financial difficulties that raised doubt about the collectibility of certain of our outstanding receivables with its direct subsidiaries. These subsidiaries are customers of ours within the Europe segment and, therefore, we are closely monitoring the situation. Specifically, Agrokor has entered into active discussions with local regulators, financial institutions and other creditors to stabilize and restructure its business and sustain ongoing operations. Our exposure related to Agrokor, as of September 30, 2017 , was approximately $11 million , based on foreign exchange rates as of September 30, 2017 . Based on the facts and circumstances known at this time, we recorded a provision for an estimate of uncollectible receivables of approximately $11 million in the first quarter of 2017, and this allowance, in local currency, remains at September 30, 2017 . Separately, we released an indirect tax loss contingency, which was initially recorded in the fourth quarter of 2016, for a benefit of approximately $50 million during the first quarter of 2017; see Note 16, "Commitments and Contingencies" for details.

Products produced in Eden were transitioned to other breweries in the U.S. supply chain network and the Eden brewery is now closed. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 , certain costs related to the closure of the brewery were recorded within special items. (2) As part of our ongoing strategic review of our Canadian supply chain network, we completed the sale of our Vancouver brewery on March 31, 2016, and we recognized a gain of $110.4 million within special items in the first quarter of 2016, resulting in net cash proceeds received in the second quarter of 2016 of CAD 183.1 million ( $140.8 million ). In conjunction with the sale of the brewery, we agreed to leaseback the existing property to continue operations on an uninterrupted basis while our new brewery is being constructed. We have evaluated this transaction pursuant to the accounting guidance for sale-leaseback transactions, and concluded that the relevant criteria had been met for full gain recognition. Additionally, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 , and 2016, we incurred other abandonment charges, consisting primarily of accelerated depreciation charges in excess of normal depreciation, related to the planned closure of the Vancouver brewery, which is currently expected to occur in the third quarter of 2019. Additionally, in the third quarter of 2017, as a result of the continuation of this strategic review, we announced the plan to build a more efficient and flexible brewery in the greater Montreal area. As a result of this decision, we have begun to develop plans to transition out of our existing Montreal brewery. Accordingly, we incurred accelerated depreciation charges associated with the existing brewery closure in the third quarter of 2017, of which the amount in excess of normal depreciation is recorded within special items. We expect to incur additional charges, including estimated accelerated depreciation charges in excess of normal depreciation of approximately CAD 95 million , through final closure of the brewery, which is currently expected to occur in 2021. However, due to the uncertainty inherent in our estimates, these estimated future accelerated depreciation charges as well as the timing of the brewery closure are subject to change. (3) As a result of our continued strategic review of our European supply chain network, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 , and 2016, we incurred charges consisting primarily of accelerated depreciation in excess of normal depreciation related to the planned closure of our Burton South brewery. Separately, during the three months ended September 30, 2017, we completed the sale of land related to our previously closed Plovdiv brewery and received net cash proceeds of $8.2 million and recognized a gain of $4.8 million within special items. (4) Based on an interim impairment assessment performed during the second quarter of 2016, which was triggered by the enactment of total alcohol prohibition in the state of Bihar, India, on April 5, 2016, we recorded an impairment loss in the second quarter of 2016. (5) During the third quarter of 2016, we received the final settlement of insurance proceeds related to losses incurred by our Europe business from flooding in Serbia, Bosnia and Croatia that occurred during 2014.

In conjunction with the July 7, 2016, debt issuance, we terminated the bridge loan agreement and accelerated the remaining unamortized fees of $24.8 million associated with the bridge loan to other income (expense) during the third quarter of 2016. (2) During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, we recorded unrealized gains of $13.8 million and $2.2 million , respectively, related to the foreign currency forwards we entered into in the second quarter of 2016, in connection with our July 7, 2016, debt issuance. (3) During the first quarter of 2017, we recorded a gain of CAD 10.6 million , or $8.1 million , resulting from a purchase price adjustment related to the historical sale of Molson Inc.’s ownership interest in the Montreal Canadiens. The CAD 10.6 million was paid by the Montreal Canadiens, which is considered an affiliate of MCBC, in the first quarter of 2017.

Total debt issuance costs capitalized in connection with these notes, including underwriting fees, discounts and other financing related costs, were $6.1 million and are being amortized over the respective terms of the 2017 Notes. The 2017 Notes began accruing interest upon issuance, with quarterly payments due on the 2017 EUR Notes beginning June 15, 2017, and semi-annual payments due on the 2017 USD Notes beginning September 15, 2017. In the first quarter of 2017, we entered into interest rate swaps to economically convert our fixed rate 2017 USD Notes to floating rate debt. As a result of these hedge programs, the carrying value of the $500 million 1.90% notes and $500 million 2.25% notes include adjustments of $0.7 million decreasing and $0.3 million decreasing, respectively, for fair value movements attributable to the benchmark interest rate as of September 30, 2017 . Prior to issuing the 2017 EUR Notes, we entered into foreign currency forward agreements to economically hedge the foreign currency exposure of a portion of the respective notes, which were subsequently settled on March 15, 2017, concurrent with the issuance of the 2017 EUR Notes. Additionally, upon issuance we designated the 2017 EUR Notes as a net investment hedge of our Europe business. See Note 14, "Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" for further details. During the second quarter of 2017, we repaid our $300.0 million 2.0% notes using commercial paper. Subsequent to the third quarter of 2017, on October 6, 2017, we repaid our CAD 500.0 million 3.95% notes as further discussed below. (2) During the first quarter of 2017, the net proceeds from the 2017 Notes were used to repay the remaining $800.0 million on our 3 -year tranche term loan due 2019 and make principal payments of $700.0 million on our 5 -year tranche term loan due 2021, and accordingly we accelerated the related unamortized debt issuance costs. During the second quarter of 2017, we made principal payments of $400.0 million on our 5 -year tranche term loan due 2021, and accordingly we accelerated the related unamortized debt issuance costs. During the third quarter of 2017, we repaid the remaining $400.0 million on our 5 -year tranche term loan due 2021 utilizing borrowings under our commercial paper program, thereby further reducing our available borrowings under our $1.5 billion revolving multi-credit facility as further discussed below, and accordingly, recorded the remaining accelerated unamortized debt issuance costs to interest expense. The term loans were fully repaid as of July 19, 2017. (3) As of September 30, 2017 , the outstanding borrowings under our commercial paper program were approximately $1.0 billion at a weighted-average effective interest rate and tenor of 1.64% and 35 days, respectively. There were no outstanding borrowings under our commercial paper program as of December 31, 2016. During the third quarter of 2017, we increased the size of our commercial paper program to a maximum amount of $1.5 billion . We used proceeds from the commercial paper to fund the repayment of our CAD 500.0 million 3.95% notes due October 6, 2017. As noted above, we also used commercial paper to repay our $300.0 million 2.0% notes during the second quarter of 2017 and the remaining outstanding balance on our 5 -year tranche term loan during the third quarter of 2017. (4) As of September 30, 2017 , we had $13.2 million in bank overdrafts and $88.2 million in bank cash related to our cross-border, cross-currency cash pool, for a net positive position of $75.0 million . As of December 31, 2016 , we had $2.6 million in bank overdrafts and $18.0 million in bank cash related to our cross-border, cross-currency cash pool for a net positive position of $15.4 million . We had total outstanding borrowings of $3.1 million and $7.0 million under our two Japanese Yen ("JPY") overdraft facilities as of September 30, 2017 , and December 31, 2016 , respectively. In addition, we have GBP and CAD lines of credit under which we had no borrowings as of September 30, 2017 , or December 31, 2016 .
