Individual Coors Products

I feel there should be articles on individual Coors products.I also want to know who the moron was that decided not to use sealed caps and instead chose twist offs. I have created one for Coors Light, however, it needs much work.

Why did the zima stop being made and sold are they going to start selling it again Dianewhite37 (talk) 19:31, 7 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

coors beer

when did it become lawful to sell coors beer in the state of Nebraska —Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.107.196.109 (talk) 00:43, 11 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Could somebody please advise where I may be able to purchase Coors Beer here in Melbourne Australia or suppy the name of an Australian Distributor? Thanks in anticipationĜ —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wedgetail3 (talk • contribs) 06:44, 21 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

As an annual midwesterner visitors by auto, in Colo for spring skiing during the mid '60s; as usual, we had orders from friends to bring back Coors (at the time not distributed in the Midwest. The Coors was unpasturized at that time, purchased for transport home; unchilled, not iced until before serving when back in the Chicago area. A most memorable downing of Coors was from the draft "dark" pitcher(s) by our group at the foot of the mountains at Aspen Highlands, on the outside deck, shortly after the 1st of April in 1965. It was at the end of our "last run" for the week, year and for me and husband forever in Aspen. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.131.50.193 (talk) 14:54, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I recall Coors being "smuggled" into Oregon. I believe the reason given was that the beer was not pasteurized. I should think that this aspect could be inserted. I am glad that the Smokey and the Bandit reference made it! Fotoguzzi (talk) 22:19, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

NPOV Discussion

While I was editing this article, I found several NPOV and sourcing issues with this article. The article seems to take a very positive stance toward the company and its products. After the copy edit is complete, would someone be willing to give this a NPOV run-down and take care of some of that? Webmaster961 (talk) 06:54, 21 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The first citation doesn't exist

I'm no expert but I actually wanted to know the information cited in the first link. Can someone fix this. Thanks for your hard work. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.70.219.97 (talk) 05:09, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Regional marketing

The info I got during a 1983 brewery tour was that Coors was marketed in only 11 states because that was the economically practical limit for delivery by refrigerated trucks. Coors wasn't pasteurized, and required constant refrigeration from production to consumption. Later on, after production methods changed, nationwide unrefrigerated delivery was possible.

Removal of section about Heritage in minority issues section

I'll be the first to agree that Heritage Foundation isn't the most gay/minority/feminist/immigrant friendly organization. However, if the original claim, that "Heritage supports HIV testing and quarantine," is to be included, it must be properly sourced. I checked Heritage's web page and cannot find anything about it. Moreover, I doubt that Heritage supports anything. Heritage is a think tank that employs individual academics. Those academics may support those ideas, but Heritage itself does not.

Inaccurate content, please address

This article lacks current factual backing. Miller seems to have essentially replaced the Molson branding. I quote from a Wiki article (that has a dead link). "On October 9, 2007, SABMiller and Molson Coors agreed to combine their U.S. operations in a joint venture called MillerCoors. SABMiller owns 58% of the unit, which operates in the United States but not in Canada, where Molson Coors is strongest. Molson Coors owns 42% of the joint venture. However, the companies have equal voting power.[2][3][dead link]" (ref: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miller_Brewing_Company#History) . The primary website for the joint company is now http://www.millercoors.com/ . I believe facts from Miller Brewing Company's wiki should be incorperated into Coors or that Coors, Miller, and Molson should be combined into one article on wiki since they are so interconnected. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SnicersX (talk • contribs) 06:28, 22 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Smokey and the Bandit

Should something about Smokey and the Bandit be added? Not the movie itself, but the situation that it takes place in. Where coors is illegal in some states?

Filtration

At this point there is not a mention of filtration. Coors apparently developed their own filters. These are used in chemistry labs, also. Seems worth mentioning or at least linking. Fotoguzzi (talk) 22:10, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

thin cans

Coors advertised (perhaps only in trade magazines?) the thinnest aluminum cans. It may be a trivial point, but it shows that they were more than just a brewery. There is already a section on the cans, so if someone knows of a source for the above... Fotoguzzi (talk) 22:16, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

SOLD to Molson Coors

I added the new info but this article probably needs additional modifications. I do not have time to do those too.

Revision: During the merger discussions between Anheuser-Busch InBev and SABMiller in 2015, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) had agreed to proposed deal only on the basis that SABMiller "spins off all its MillerCoors holdings in the U.S. — which include both Miller- and Coors-held brands — along with its Miller brands outside the U.S." The entire ownership situation was complicated: "In the United States, Coors is majority owned by MillerCoors (a subsidiary of SABMiller) and minority owned by Molson Coors, though internationally it’s entirely owned by Molson Coors, and Miller is owned by SABMiller."^[1]

SABMiller agreed to divest itself of the Miller brands by selling its stake in MillerCoors to Molson Coors. The merger between the two companies closed on October 10, 2016. The spinoff deal was completed on October 11, 2016)Brown, Lisa (October 11, 2016). "A-B InBev finalizes $100B billion acquisition of SABMiller, creating world's largest beer company". Chicago Tribune. Chicago. Retrieved January 29, 2017. As per the agreement with the regulators, SABMiller sold to Molson Coors full ownership of the Miller brand portfolio outside of the U.S. and Puerto Rico for US$12 billion. Molson Coors also retained "the rights to all of the brands currently in the MillerCoors portfolio for the U.S. and Puerto Rico, including Redd’s and import brands such as Peroni, Grolsch and Pilsner Urquell." The agreement made Molson Coors the world's third largest brewer."Molson Coors Completes Acquisition of Full Ownership of MillerCoors and Global Miller Brand Portfolio author=". Molson Coors. Molson Coors. October 11, 2016. Retrieved January 29, 2017. Becomes World's Third Largest Brewer by Enterprise Value and Strengthens Position in Highly Attractive U.S. Beer Market {{cite web}}: Missing pipe in: |title= (help)

In Canada, Molson Coors regained the right to make and market Miller Genuine Draft and Miller Lite.Wright, Lisa (November 11, 2015). "Molson Coors doubles with $12B Miller buyout". Toronto Star. Toronto. Retrieved January 29, 2017.
