History

The Coors Brewing Company is the principal subsidiary of the Adolph Coors Company. In 1873, German immigrants Adolph Coors and Jacob Schueler, a successful Denver businessman, established a brewery in Golden, Colorado. Coors invested $2000 in the operation, to Schueler's investment of $18,000. In 1880, Coors bought out his partner in "The Golden Brewery". His pale lager, nicknamed the "Banquet Beer" or "Premiums" and is now known as “Coors Banquet" once again after being dubbed "Coors Original" for many years. It is said to take its flavor from the pure water of the Rocky Mountains. Coors’ company survived the prohibition era in America by diversifying into manufacture of other products including malted milk and ceramics. The Coors Ceramics business was later spun off as CoorsTek.

According to the Coors website, in 1959, Coors became the first American brewer to package beer in an all-aluminum two-piece beverage can. In the early 1970's Coors replaced the common "pull tab" opener on its aluminum cans with a new two-hole top, one large hole for drinking and one small hole for venting. All one had to do was simply push down on the perforated "lids" to open them. Also Coors had a "wide-mouth" quart bottle with the opening approximately three times the width of a conventional quart bottle. Year 1959 (MCMLIX) was a common year starting on Thursday (link will display full calendar) of the Gregorian calendar. ... A typical can of Diet Coke. ...


For much of its history, Coors beer was a regional product mostly confined to the American west by legal restrictions. This made it a novelty on the east coast, and visitors returning from visits to the western states often made a point of bringing back a case. This iconic status was reflected in pop culture: in 1977 the movie Smokey and the Bandit centered around an "illegal" shipment of Coors from Texas to Georgia (in reality there was no law against transporting the beer across state lines). Boston Red Sox great Carl Yastrzemski was such a big Coors fan that when he loaded up the team plane with multiple cases of Coors for the return trip to the East Coast, some of his teammates jokingly wondered if the plane would be able to successfully take off.[1] The company finally established nationwide distribution in the U.S. in the early 1990s.

Labor Issues

In April 1977, the brewery workers union at Coors, representing 1,472 employees, went out on strike. The brewery kept operating with supervisors and 250 to 300 union members, including one member of the union executive board, who ignored the strike. Soon after, Coors announced that it would hire replacements for the striking workers.[3] About 700 workers quit the picket line to go back to work, and Coors replaced the remaining 500 workers, and kept making beer uninterrupted.[4] In December 1978, the workers at Coors voted by greater than 2:1 to decertify the union, ending 44 years of union representation at Coors. Because the strike was by then more than a year old, striking workers could not vote in the election.[5]


Labor unions organized a boycott to punish Coors for its labor practices.[6] One tactic was to push for state laws to ban sales of unpasteurized canned and bottled beer.[7] Because Coors was the only major brewer not pasteurizing its canned and bottled beer, such laws would hurt only Coors.[8] Sales of Coors suffered during the 10-year labor union boycott, although Coors said the declining sales were also due to an industry-wide downturn in beer sales, and to increased competition. To maintain production, Coors expanded its sales area from the 18 western states to which it had marketed for years, to nationwide distribution.[9]


The AFL-CIO ended its boycott of Coors in August 1987, after negotiations with Pete Coors, head of brewery operations. The details were not divulged, but were said to include an early union representation election in Colorado, and use of union workers to build the new Coors brewery in Virginia.[10] In 1988, the Teamsters Union, which represented brewery workers at the top three U.S. beer makers (Anheuser-Busch, Miller, and Stroh), gained enough signatures to trigger a union representation election. Coors workers again rejected union representation by more than 2:1.[11] Peter Hanson Coors (born September 20, 1946) is a U.S. businessman and entrepreneur. ...

Coors encouraged the organization of its homosexual employees into the Lesbian and Gay Employee Resource (LAGER) in 1993.[13] In May 1995, Coors became the 21st publicly-traded corporation in the United States to extend employee benefits to same-sex partners.[14] When company chairman Pete Coors was criticized for the company's gay-friendly policy during his 2004 Republican primary campaign for the US Senate from Colorado, he defended the policy as basic good business practice.

  • Coors, the "Banquet Beer", also known as "Coors Original", a 5% abv pale lager. This is the oldest brand in the Coors portfolio, first brewed in 1874[16], and has been given awards at World's Columbian Exposition in 1893, and at the Great American Beer Festival in 2004[17].
  • Coors Light, the "Silver Bullet", a 4.2% abv beer first brewed in 1978 as a low calorie beer. It is Coors top selling brand, and the third-best selling beer in the United States[18]. It has won several medals for "American-Style Light Beer" at the Great American Beer Festival[19], and is the official beer sponsor of the NFL and the NFL Network.[20]. In 2006, a "frost brew liner", referring to the "Frost Brewed" branding, was introduced. The inventors Green and Hannell claim the liner was created by accident during an experiment for the United States military. After a year long trial for trademark rights between Hannell and Green, the jury ruled in favor of Green and he sold it to Coors for an unspecified, million dollar contract. His liner is sometimes referred to as "C-", or "C minus" The nickname “Silver Bullet” originated from the at the University of California Alumni Association summer family camp, The Lair of the Golden Bear. It arose from staff members as a casual reference to the drink due to its slender silver cans. The name was then immortalized when one of the former members of the camp staff used it as a marketing campaign and the name has stuck ever since. Coors Light puts on major promotions at Halloween, including the "Beer Wolf" and plugs by Elvira, tying in with the Silver Bullet theme. Coors Light bottles feature a cold temperature sensitive label using Chromazone™ ink. When the mountains on the label turn blue, the beer is at optimal drinking temperature.

  • Keystone Light is a 4.2% abv pale lager introduced in 1989. Packaged in "specially lined cans" intended to reduce metallic taste. The can is blue and silver and is narrower than a regular 12 ounce can of beer. An advertising campaign starring comedian Bob Marley claimed that Keystone Light relieved "Bitter Beer Face." The current advertising slogan is "Always Smooth, Even When You're Not™."[22]
  • Keystone Ice is packaged in similar cans as Keystone Light, but with black and silver instead of blue. The 5.9% abv is the only difference between Ice and Light.
