Only the finest ingredients are used to brew Coors Banquet. That’s been true since Adolph Coors brewed the first batch in 1873. All these years later, we wouldn’t have it any other way.
When it comes to brewing, water matters. That's why ours comes from the Rockies. It starts high in the mountains and flows all the way down to the Golden Brewery, where it becomes Coors Banquet beer.
Up here, the snow covering the Rockies naturally melts and gathers minerals as it makes its way down the mountain. We take so much pride in the purity of our water, that we keep a team of experts to make sure every drop is up to snuff before it's brewed into Coors Banquet.
The Clear Creek Watershed was once home base for scores of hopeful gold miners. It's been our home since Adolph Coors opened the brewery over 140 years ago, and provides the only water we'll ever use to brew.
Patience and persistence go hand in hand. Our strain of yeast has been in use for decades, and contains a unique personality that helps provide that fruity aroma Coors Banquet has come to be known for.
Adolph Coors' recipe called for a greater addition of aromatic hops to bittering hops. Our subtle blend of Chinook, Hallertau, Herkules and Taurus hops gives Coors Banquet just the perfect hint of bitterness to offset the malty sweetness.
