Coors Light is a 4.2% ABV light American lager beer sold by Coors (currently Molson Coors) of Chicago, Illinois. It was first produced in 1978 by the Coors Brewing Company. They had briefly produced a different low-alcohol beer by the same name in 1941.[1][2]

It is brewed in Golden, Colorado; Albany, Georgia; Elkton, Virginia; Fort Worth, Texas; Irwindale, California; and Milwaukee, Wisconsin, among other locations in the USA.[3] The Canadian version of Coors Light is 4.0% ABV and brewed by Molson Coors Canada Inc. in Moncton, New Brunswick;[4] St.John's, Newfoundland;[5] Longueuil, Quebec;[6] Toronto, Ontario[7] and Chilliwack, British Columbia.[8] In Australia, the United Kingdom and Ireland, Coors Light is labeled as "Coors."

Coors Light's primary competitors are Miller Lite and Keystone Light, both also owned by Molson Coors, and Bud Light, owned by AB InBev, Molson Coors's rival and fellow global beer giant.
