miller lite bottle

(Orlando, FL) – MillerCoors hosted its annual Distributors Convention in Orlando last week. (FYI, next year’s event will be held in San Diego). Some 4,000 people attended and the stars came out: Vince Vaughn, John Harbaugh, Brad Keselowski, Scott Van Pelt, Jason Andean and Terrell Owens. In case you missed it, Keselowski arrived in what they call the “Blue Deuce” and burned up some Marriott carpet in the process.

You would be surprised what you can learn just from the web, mostly Twitter. Here is a quick rundown on what we found.

Part 2 features Molson Coors brand highlights. Part 3 features Tenth & Blake and Redd’s Apple Ale brand highlights.
