South Delaware Coors, Inc
Introduction In 1873, German immigrants Adolph Coors and Jacob Schueler established a small brewery in Golden, Colorado. Lately, Coors Inc. had become the third-largest brewer in the United States. Coors invested $2,000 in the operation, and Schueler invested $18,000. In 1880, Coors bought out his partner and became sole owner of the brewery. Coors’ operating philosophy is “hard work, saving money, devotion to the quality of the product, caring about the environment, and giving people something to believe in.” Coors Inc. operation is consistent with this philosophy. Coors beer was a regional product and its marketing area was confined to the American west. In 1959, Coors became the first American brewer to use an all-aluminium two-piece beverage can. The company abandoned pasteurization and began to use sterile filtration to stabilize its beer in that year. Coors currently operates the largest aluminium can producing plant in the world, known as the Rocky Mountain Metal Container (RMMC) in Golden, Colorado. In the 1970s, Coors invented the pollution-free push tab can. However, Coors Light was introduced in 1978.
