Miller Genuine Draft and Miller Chill are to be distributed in Australia by Coca-Cola Amatil now that AB InBev has completed its takeover of SABMiller.

CCA said Miller is the fourth biggest premium international beer in Australia, and the new agreement would deepen its existing relationship with Molson Coors, now the world’s third largest brewer.

"This represents an exciting step in our journey to grow our beer business across Australia,” said Coca-Cola Amatil’s managing director of alcohol and coffee Shane Richardson.

Coca-Cola Amatil has distributed Molson Coors brands including Coors and Blue Moon since 2013.
