During the third quarter of 2015, MillerCoors announced plans to close its brewery in Eden, North Carolina, in an effort to optimize the brewery footprint and streamline operations for greater efficiencies. 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 six months ended June 30, 2017, certain costs related to the closure of the brewery were recorded within special items.

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 six months ended June 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 will begin to incur accelerated depreciation and other charges associated with the existing brewery closure in the third quarter of 2017. These charges will continue to be incurred on an ongoing basis until completion of the project and will be recorded as special items.

As a result of our continued strategic review of our European supply chain network, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, and 2016, we incurred charges consisting primarily of accelerated depreciation charges in excess of normal depreciation related to the planned closure of our Burton South brewery.

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.
