Coors, Joseph

Coors, Joseph
▪ 2004

      American businessman and political patron (b. Nov. 12, 1917, Golden, Colo.—d. March 15, 2003, Rancho Mirage, Calif.), with his brother William expanded the brewery of the Adolph Coors Co. from being the producer of a local Western beer to the third largest brewer in the U.S. and was a founder in 1973 of the Heritage Foundation, a prominent conservative think tank. Coors was named to the board of the company in 1946 and served at various times as president, chief operating officer, and vice chairman. He and his brother devised and refined the company's signature cold-brewing system and played a role in the introduction of aluminum beer cans as well as in an early recycling system, begun in 1959 when the company offered a penny for each can returned. Long a financial supporter of right-wing political causes, Coors was instrumental in the rise of Ronald Reagan to the U.S. presidency in 1980.
