About Coors Brewing Company

Coors Brewing Company was founded in 1873 by Adolph Coors, who chose the
Clear Creek Valley in Golden, Colo., for his new brewery because of the

only Rocky Mountain water and high-country barley. Coors Light

introduced in 1978 and now is the second-best-selling beer in the United
States. Triple-filtered smooth Keystone Light (KeystoneLight.com,

beers. Coors Brewing Company operates in the United States and Puerto
Rico as part of MillerCoors, a joint venture of SABMiller plc and Molson
