Coors

In 1868, German brewing apprentice Adolph Coors headed to America. He made his way across the country working a series of odd jobs from bricklayer to gardener. Within five years, he founded the Golden Brewery where it still stands today. Mr. Coors headed west and refused to rest until he found the perfect water for his beer. Water he discovered flowing through the mining town of Golden, Colorado at the base of the Rockies. As the story goes, it was the hardworking miners of Golden who gave our beer its name. In the coming years, “The Banquet Beer” would become synonymous with Coors. For decades, Banquet was only available in 11 states, all west of the Mississippi River. The beer wouldn’t find its way east until 1976. But demand continued to grow and it was in 1991 that Coors finally showed up in all 50 states. After more than 70 years in the vault, the 1936 Stubby Bottle made its triumphant return to stores and watering holes all over the country.
