Coors Banquet has been an amazing and loyal sponsor of professional rodeo since 1980. Their support runs deep for the inspiration and passion of rodeo cowboys. Coors Banquet has been the official beer of the PRCA since 1987 and is the rodeo sponsor for the NFR (National Finals Rodeo). Coors Banquet launched its “Man in the Can” program in 1984. The program recognizes top barrelmen in ProRodeo for the uniqueness, determination, and passion that they display in the rodeo arenas all throughout the United States. Coors Banquet is dedicated to its fans with a grass-roots sponsorship of local rodeos as well as ingenious marketing.
The story of Coors Banquet began in 1868 when Adolph Coors came to America. Adolph founded the Golden Brewery in Golden, Colorado within 5 years of his journey to the West. Since being established in 1873, Coors Banquet continues to be brewed in the same tradition as the original 150-year-old recipe.
In 1916 prohibition hit Colorado and the brewery was ordered to drain 516 barrels of beer. Now fast-forward 17 years later in 1933 when the prohibition ended and Banquet was able to flow again. This was only the case in a handful of states in the West.
The iconic stubby bottle hit the shelves in 1936 being a symbol of the love and dedication to Banquet’s rich heritage. Bill Coors and Coors Brewing Company were determined and pioneered the two-piece recyclable aluminum can in 1959. This was a move that transformed the beverage industry.
Coors Banquet was regularly smuggled across state lines until it was available in all 50 states. This continued until 1991 when Banquet became available nationwide.
Fast forward to today, in 2023 we raise a Banquet and cheers as we celebrate 150 years. Coors Banquet has been a favorite beer of presidents, rock stars, and actors and because of this, you don’t change a thing. Here’s to the original, and to 150 years of building a legacy.
The roots of Coors Banquet run deep in Colorado as the first batch was brewed in 1873. Adolph Coors Jr. used Moravian Barley seeds in 1937 to brew Banquet which is still linked to the original variety they use today. Water matters when it comes to brewing. The water sourced comes right from the Rocky Mountains. Those key ingredients along with 150 years of expertise are what give Coors Banquet that fruity aroma and unique personality you know and love.
With a whole lot of love and science, Coors Banquet malts their own barley right in their home of Golden, Colorado. It’s filtered with Enzinger filters which is an old-school technique you don’t see very often nowadays. Good character and great beer beat speed every time so their sticking to it! Now let’s talk about the technique. That banana flavor you taste? That occurs during the fermentation process. It’s done at cold temperatures which in other terms is the classic technique of closed horizontal box fermentation.
