Adolph Coors and Jacob Schueler opened the brewery in 1873 in Golden, Colorado, at the foot of the Rocky Mountains; Coors took sole ownership in 1880. Beer was first sold in 1874, while current brand material dates the Banquet recipe to 1876. The Golden site is the largest single-site brewery in the world and still malts its own barley. Coors Light followed in 1978, Keystone in 1989. Since the 2005 merger with Molson the brewery belongs to Molson Coors.

Drawn from all 7 beers in the catalogue.
Four notes carry across the range. That's a tight house style — most breweries in the catalogue share just one. 3 of them come through every single beer.
Everything sits in one family — which makes the comparison below the interesting part. It isn't what they brew that sets them apart, but how.
Their beers place in the Top 24% of the catalogue on average, across 3 ranked beers. Consistent rather than spiky — no single standout carrying the rest.
