GOLDEN, Colo. — Molson Coors Brewing Company is wrapping up a modernization project at its 150-year-old Colorado brewery.
Molson Coors said the 200,000-square-foot G150 project aims to transform Coors Brewery for the decades ahead.
The multi-million dollar project, which required more than two million work hours, has updated the Golden brewery’s filtration, fermenting and aging capabilities. Molson Coors said the project will save an anticipated 80 million gallons of water annually and reduce energy use.
Although the project will be completed in 2025, the facility is now operational and the first beers have recently entered the market, the brewing giant said.
The updated area is equipped to make Coors Banquet, Coors Light, Miller Lite, Miller High Life and Blue Moon Belgian White.
Molson Coors said it hopes the brewery will be one of the most efficient and sustainable breweries in the world.
“The G150 project is an investment not only in the Coors Brewery and the Golden Valley, but Molson Coors’ capabilities in the 21st century and beyond,” said Molson Coors President and Chief Executive Officer Gavin Hattersley. “It’s an investment we’re proud to make. Our plans are big at Molson Coors, and they’re rooted in the sort of projects that make this a world-class beverage company.”
