Adolph Coors learned his craft as a brewer's apprentice in his native Germany. He came to the United States in 1868 and headed west, arriving in the Colorado Territory with a dream of opening his own brewery.
On a visit to Golden, west of Denver in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, he found natural springs that produced perfect brewing water.
