The Ominous Story of the Coors Heir Kidnapped + Murdered in Colorado
One of the most popular beer companies in the world was born in Colorado and still calls the Centennial State home, and that of course, is Coors beer.
Coors was started by its namesake, Adolf Coors, and for decades the main attraction to Golden, Colorado has been the Coors brewery. The brewery not only produces some of the nation's most famous beers but also offers extremely popular tours that attract the majority of tourists to the town.
However, there is quite a dark past attached to the Coors name as the grandson of the man that started the brewing company was unfortunately kidnapped and murdered by his kidnapper in a failed attempt to keep him around for a ransom.
