WHAT WE'RE MADE OF MATTERS

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.

WATER

FROM THE SOURCE

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.

THE PLACE WE CALL HOME

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.

A RIVER WITH A HISTORY

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.

Barley

OUR ROOTS RUN DEEP

In 1936, Adolph Coors Jr. received a gift of Moravian Barley seeds that grow in what is now the Czech Republic. Those seeds were planted in an employee's personal garden. To this day, all of the barley we use can be linked to that original variety.

SOMETHING IN THE AIR

Located in the foothills of the Rockies, the High Country resembles the Moravia region of the Czech Republic. The elevation is similar, the days are warm, and the nights are cool. This results in the perfect place to grow our barley.

TRUE TO OUR VALUES

Family has always been the foundation of what we do - and it always will be. We've been lucky enough to work with some of the finest families of barley growers for many generations.

Yeast

CHARACTER COMES WITH TIME

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.

Hops

STRIKING A BALANCE

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.
