Adolph Coors was a German-American brewer born on February 4, 1847, in Germany. He immigrated to the United States in 1868 and founded the Coors Brewing Company in 1873 in Golden, Colorado. The brewery became known for its high-quality beer, particularly the Coors Light brand, which gained popularity in the mid-20th century. Coors was also a prominent figure in the community, contributing to local development and supporting various charitable causes. He passed away on June 5, 1929, but his legacy continues through the ongoing success of the Coors Brewing Company, which remains one of the largest breweries in the United States.
