Who's The Actual Owner Of Coors Beer?
BY Eibhlis Gale-Coleman
Popular brands often have complicated ownership stories and outsourced production, but this is not the case with Coors, which is self-owned by the Molson Coors Beverage Company.
Founded by Adolph Kuhrs, a Prussian-born immigrant in Colorado in 1873, the company's name has evolved over the past 150 years, but the business remains self-owned.
The year 1880 saw the axing of a partner and the dropping of the "Schueler & Coors Golden Brewery" name. The Coors Brewing Company name was adopted in 1989.
The name Molson Coors Beverage Company was finally settled on when Molson and Coors joined forces in 2005. The companies publicly specified that it was a merger of equals.
