[Coors Banquet](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coors-banquet), a cornerstone of American brewing since 1873, reignites its successful Start Your [Legacy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/five-finger-death-punch) campaign for the second year. Building on brand momentum, the initiative features fresh ad creatives, limited-edition packaging, and new merchandise via a continued partnership with [Brixton](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coors-banquet-and-brixton-1) (available for purchase on National Beer Day, April 7th at shop.coors.com).

The Legacy Collection, a new line of limited-edition cans, pays homage to Coors Banquet's rich history. Inspired by past designs but with a modern twist, each commemorative can reflects a distinct era - the 1880s, 1940s, and 1990s. The collection hits shelves in phases between now and June 30th.

Coors Banquet, originally brewed for Colorado miners, boasts a storied past. The iconic stubby bottle, once smuggled across the country, is a favorite among celebrities and a symbol of unwavering brewing tradition. Still crafted in Golden, Colorado with Rocky Mountain water, Coors Banquet's commitment to quality has fueled impressive growth – double-digit increases across regions and a 22% volume surge in on-premise demand.

This revived campaign strengthens Coors Banquet's position as a legacy brand while fostering connection with a new generation of beer drinkers.
