Coors

Coors beer, also referred to as Coors Banquet Beer or Coors Original, was introduced by
Adolph Coors in 1874.  This Colorado favorite was not available east of the Mississippi
River until 1981 and in all 50 states until 1991, Indiana being the last state.  Also, Coors
was the first beer available in aluminum cans (1959).  Coors, has been superseded by
Coors Light (introduced in 1978) as the most popular Molson-Coors brand.  Coors beers
is made in the stereotypical manner for American-style lagers, with barley malt, water, grain
adjunct, hops, and yeast.  Coors is 5% alcohol and has 149 calories in a 12 oz. serving.  A
common practice with this brand is frequent changes in label design, which the regular beer
drinker will notice over time.  Coors is available in 12 oz., 32 oz., and 40 oz. bottles and in
10 oz., 12 oz., 16 oz., and 24 oz. cans.  It is also sold in draft form.  In 1985, Coors
introduced Coors Extra Gold, which is the company's bottled and canned draft beer, with
4.97% alcohol and a somewhat more golden color and bitter taste.  It is available in
selected markets. 

I find Coors to be a delicious beer, and it holds its own against its major competitors
(Budweiser, Miller High Life, Pabst Blue Ribbon, etc.).  I highly recommend that you
sample this beer.

A note:  Coors is kosher, as are all Coors products.
