Coors could still offer unpasteurized beer and adjusting their “Rocky Mountain” slogan to encompass the whole country— “Pure American Spring Water.” If Coors established numerous production facilities, they could take advantage of economies of scale, use suppliers for ingredients, and simply concentrate on their primary business.

A differentiated version could be developed of the original Colorado beer formula and be distributed in the Western region or nationally, at an appropriate price…

In addition, Stone Brewing will be receiving roughly $7 million in grants from the city and state of Virginia. Packages such as these cause controversy due to the fact that other companies feel as if they are becoming a high competitor in an already competitive market.…
The Keurig Opportunity “Goodbye, Mom! See you after school” is a daily saying as I grab a Gatorade from the fridge on my way to school.

However, high school students at South Hamilton, not just me, are bringing drinks packed with hundreds of calories and sugars to school every day!…
