At one time it was advertised as never being warm. It had to be kept in a cooler at all times until sold. Transported in reefer trucks and put straight in the cooler at the store.

I remember my first Coors beer. It was an event.

I believe that's called bootlegging

Coors was considered bootlegging outside of either Texas or at least west of Georgia.

It's funny because beer has become FAR more regionalized since Coors day.
You have thousands of cult status beers that nobody can keep track of because it's all local Micro-brews that aren't big enough or don't want to spend the money to make out of their respective State let alone national.
Even beer aficianodos don't don't know 90% of the beers in each State. There's that much beer out there.
Especially in States like California, Colorado, Washington, Oregon, Nevada, Texas, Maine and Michigan which are craft brew central these days.
Oregon has almost as many breweries as California and it's 10% the population size of California.
Same with the State of Washington.
You could spend a year in those States and never even know half their beers.
There's just so much beer on the market that exploded after the 80's into micro-brew nation.
The days of a small-timer making it into the Big 3 like Coors are probably over. Sam Adams and Sierra Nevada are the last of that success story...and they were lucky with no real craft brewery competition in the 80's.

Coors was available only in the western U.S. when that movie was made.

This is a "mistake" from The Andy Griffith Show, they are supposedly in North Carolina but the filming was done in Los Angeles so a lot of people noticed the random Coors truck passing by when the episode aired
Read this on another site. It isn't a mistake. The still was taken from "The Taylors in Hollywood" Season 6 episode 8. According to the Mayberry Geeks out there this was one of the most "discussed" bloopers at the "Andy Griffith Rerun Watcher's Club" conventions......yes, apparently that's a thing.

Having read all the answers, I always thought it was because Coors was 3.2% alcohol beer and in the Bible Belt, you could only sell/buy 2.3% alcohol beer.
I thought even Big Enos Burdett mentioned the alcohol difference.

I liked how little Enos always wanted to kick bandit's arse.
