Coors Brewing Company executives, employees and distributors are
joining forces to build awareness and trial of the company's latest
innovation, the Cold Activated Bottle. Mountains on the label turn from
white to blue when Coors Light is at the optimal temperature for cold
refreshment. In cities nationwide, Coors ambassadors will be working with
retailers to engage consumers and encourage trial of the Cold Activated
Bottle.
"When drinkers choose Coors Light, they're looking for refreshment. The
Cold Activated Bottle is designed to ensure that drinkers experience the
coldest, most refreshing beer possible," said Andy England, chief marketing
officer for Coors Brewing Company. "On May 18, we are celebrating our
newest innovation by inviting consumers to come out and raise a cold one
for the World's Most Refreshing Happy Hour."
Coors Light will be supporting this effort with focused advertising and
point of sale materials nationwide. In addition, the Coors Light #40 Car,
driven by David Stremme, will feature a special Cold Activated Bottle paint
scheme in NASCAR race activities the weekend of May 18-19 and May 26-28. In
select markets, Coors Light will offer 1-800-TAXICAB vouchers to assist
consumers in getting a safe ride home.
According to Coors Light research, consumers want to know when their
beer is cold enough to drink. To meet that need, Coors Light introduced the
Cold Activated Bottle, which features mountains on the label in
Thermochromatic ink that turn blue when Coors Light has been chilled to the
perfect temperature for ice cold refreshment. The Cold Activated Bottle is
available on all 12-ounce Coors Light and Coors bottles at participating
bars, restaurants, grocery, convenience stores and liquor stores.
