About Coors beer

Coors Beer, a product of the Coors Brewing Company (founded in 1873 in Golden, Colorado), is a widely recognized American lager. Known for its light and crisp taste, it belongs to the pale lager category. Typically consumed as an alcoholic beverage, a standard 12-ounce can of Coors Light beer contains around 102 calories, 5 grams of carbohydrates, and 4.2% alcohol by volume (ABV). It has minimal protein and negligible fat content, making it low in macronutrient diversity. Beer contains trace amounts of certain vitamins and minerals such as B vitamins from the fermentation process, though these quantities are insignificant for daily intake.

Health Benefits

• Contains small amounts of B vitamins like niacin and folate from fermentation, which support energy metabolism.
• Moderate beer consumption (1 drink/day for women, 2 for men) has been associated with increased HDL cholesterol ('good' cholesterol), potentially benefiting heart health.
• Provides silicon in trace amounts, which may support bone mineral density.
