Bill Coors, a pioneer in the American brewing industry and former chairman of the Adolph Coors Company, died peacefully at his home Saturday at 102.

Molson Coors confirmed his passing in a statement published Saturday.

Bill Coors began working for his grandfather Adolph's brewing company in 1939. Twenty years later, he became company chairman, during which he created and developed the aluminum can, a key milestone for the beer industry.

I don't care for Coor's beer, but I salute him. He made Smokey and the Bandit possible. RIP.

I remember when his brother(?) was kidnapped and murdered...lived across the country lane from a friend of mine, Dru Bax...Denver Cadillac Dealer. I can't drink but I did enjoy their beer on occasion...bit on the light side though.

He was also a champion of conservative causes & well-hated by the Left. RIP

When taking the Coors Plant tour..in @1983...there was a well appointed room with comfortable chairs...and several bar tenders... where you could try Coors products. On the walls were many exotic rifles/guns. Quite a few antique...Shutzen style rifles. I wonder if those are all still there?

I drank it some until I discovered what real beer tasted like.

I acquired an allergic reaction to aluminum due to Coors and Budweiser consumption in my youth.
Coors used to be only gotten from people that brought it across the Mississippi.

Coors one of the few beers in the world with 0 carcinogens in it. Good beer but I never did much take a liking to it when I was out west.
