Coors Brewing Company

Founded in 1873 by Adolph Coors in Golden, Colorado, the Coors Brewing Company stands as one of America’s oldest and largest breweries. The company’s historic decision to use clear bottles and pioneer the aluminum can revolutionized the beer industry. Their facility in Golden remains the largest single-site brewery in the world, capitalizing on the pure Rocky Mountain spring water that has become synonymous with their brand. Through multiple generations of family leadership and eventual mergers, including the formation of Molson Coors Beverage Company, Coors has maintained its commitment to quality and innovation. The brewery’s sustainability initiatives include water conservation, renewable energy usage, and waste reduction. Their Golden brewery facility, nestled in the foothills of the Rockies, continues to be a major tourist attraction, offering comprehensive tours that showcase both their historic legacy and modern brewing processes. The company’s influence on American brewing extends beyond beer production to packaging technology and cold-chain distribution systems that have shaped the entire industry.
