Miller bottles their own. They have Distributors, maybe that is what you are thinking?? Distributors are totally different companies, Miller does not share ownership with their distributors.
There is a link to easy to understand distribution process, for anyone who wants to see. Just picked one off the internet.
To my very basic understanding, there might be licensing fees going to InBev. Also, it looks like InBev/Modelo makes the product, then sells it as a wholesaler to the licensed Modelo distributor.
Actually due to antitrust issues, Modelo in the US is NOT distributed by AB InBev. Nor is Miller Lite…
Distribution, yes. Who owns the bottling plant?

InBev does not own Miller Light, Miller Brewing Company owns it.
The wiki page for Miller shows ownership by AB-Inbev. The wiki page for AB-Inbev shows it owns Miller brewing as of 2016 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/SABMiller https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/AB_InBev

Modelo is licensed out for US distribution.
...so, still drives revenue to AB-Inbev.
Yep.
