    Worked there for over a century? Sounds like @RaceBannon might be in some trouble.

    The shooter was identified as a 51-year-old man who worked for the company, the home of Miller Brewery for more than a century.

    Kids may not know that back in the day the unions in Washington and other states kept Coors beer out because it has always been non union. Olympia and Rainier were union breweries.

    So Coors was cool. If we went to California we would always bring some back. It was almost water but so is most beer of that type. Back then we didn't have craft beer and we were THANKFUL for it

    Correct. That was pretty much the whole premise behind Smokey and the Bandit. Running bootleg Coors because it wasn’t available in Bandits home state.

    I don’t recall exactly but Coors didn’t become a thing in Washington state until very late 70’s/early 80’s. We had a lake place in Idaho and one of the neighbors was the Coors distributor for N Idaho. And that was a big deal because you just couldn’t get Coors in Washington. He’d roll in on Friday afternoon with a big ass truck full of Coors and it was line the ice cream man had arrived. People flocked out and got their weekend supply.

    Yeah, and they used public health "concerns" as their cover for doing so. Coors not being pasteurized made the beer dangerous to the consumer was the bullshit excuse they made for not selling Coors in Oregon when the truth was that the Unions bought off the politicians and got them to ban it.
