In addition to his obvious contribution to humanity of an awesome beverage, he is also credited as being the driving force behind the aluminum beer can.

I think I'll pound down a few Silver Bullets in his honor today.  :P

The beer industry has lost an irreplaceable pioneer. "It doesn't get any worse than this."  :\'(

Agreed... and I didn't even know he'd been alive that long. Impressive that he lived to be 102.

Still, he had some great achievements in his life/career. The Colorado Rockies' current home stadium, Coors Field (which has been active since 1995), is even named in his honor.
