(32,017 posts)Coors still supports a lot of controversial right-wing causes.
You would think that the company would have changed its name if it wanted to disassociate itself from Hitler, but from 1880 to 1989, the name "Adolph" was part of their company name. In 1989, evidently, they got the hint (about the name, at least). Suffice it to say that, to this day, they are not ashamed of their conservatism.
