(13,003 posts)Grandpa Coors and all his buddies, dressed in White Robes and Hoods, would assemble on the last Sunday? of every month on the top of Table Top Mountain, right beside the Adolph Coors beer plant....They would erect a giant 20' tall, wooden cross on the mountain, late in the afternoon, and light it on fire at dusk.......You could see it from all over Denver........."Just a warning"..........
Coors had a policy of restricting employees to white only until the mid? 70's. Including not only Blacks, but Mexicans too....
Most Coloradans in the 70's couldn't understand why the rest of the nation loved coors beer............to us, it just tasted like piss.
Until a year or two ago, they still falsely advertised on every can "Brewed With Pure Rocky Mountain Spring Water" which was the best joke of all !!!!!!!!!!!!! They didn't have a spring. Their source of water was Clear Creek, one of the most polluted streams in Colorado. All the run off from the snow/rain in the mountains trickled down through the old mine tailings every where around Idaho Springs. Better than that, there were a noteable number of small towns who discharged their waste water into the Creek above Coor's take out point for their beer.....
