Additional Information
In 1873, German immigrants Adolph Coors and Jacob Schueler established a brewery in Golden Colorado, after buying a recipe for a Pilsner-style beer from a Czech immigrant William Silhan. Today the Coors brewery in Golden Colorado is the largest single brewery facility in the world.
A merger was completed on the 9th February 2005, with Canadian brewer Molson, the merged company being named Molson Coors Brewing Company.

Over the years the brand identity is updated and re-launched with subtle changes, a change of Logo or a new font.
Sometimes this brand update is done by the new owners after a brewery has been sold, other times just to give the brand a fresh new look on the ever growing market.
Below are some notes to help identify some of these changes and an aid to reference the year of the glass.
