Scott Coors, the great-grandson of brewing magnate Adolph Coors, grew up in the 1980s in Golden, Colo., a town just outside Denver. Not coincidentally, it’s also the home of the Coors Brewery.
Scott Coors’s parents’ house was on one hill, and his neighbors—Bruce Benson, the former president of University of Colorado, his wife Marcy, and their children—lived on another. Benson happened to be putting his 100-acre property on the market just as Coors’s parents split up. “I think the price was $2.6 million,” Coors recalls, “and my dad said he couldn’t afford not to buy it.”
