What does Coor's mean by claiming to be the "banquet beer"?

It's just a regular beer that you drink with your pinky up.

Always assumed it was kind of like a joke that you don’t need to ask about because it has no real meaning.

Or it means it’s good enough for a special occasion.

You drink it at banquets. Duh.

A taste that will please most people at large gatherings, like a banquet, but less trashy than Bud Light.

Coors, named after Adolph Coors, was originated in Golden, Colorado. There's still a giant Coors factory in Golden to this day, in fact. Visit Golden and you'll have no difficulty imagining mining being a big industry in the area when Coors was founded. (Oh yeah, that was way back in 1873).

After spending anywhere around 12 hours underground, miners would come back to the surface for a beer and some air, in that order. That's right, the original Coors Golden Lager was flat-out demanded by the miners after work. The Miller Coors Blog discusses those good-old mining days. Each "back-breaking, life-threatening workday ended with some serious feasting." These feasts, which could readily be called banquets, were often held at mining camps.

Each mining camp that sampled the Coors Golden Lager loved it, and word of its quality quickly spread from camp to camp. The mining boom eventually ended, and prohibition came around. Fast forward through 17 sober, dry, prohibitory years to get to the true gem of this story. Post-Prohibition, Coors became known as the banquet beer. The name banquet was enacted as a way to toast the beer's original patrons, miners.

It’s Coors’ Beer

The founder’s name was Adolph Coors, not Adolph Coor.
