being filed to disclose the acquisition by The Grover C. Coors Trust of Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company described more fully in Item 4 and
Item 6, below. All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have

ITEM 3.           Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

As more fully described in Items 4 and 6 hereto, on August 15, 2000, the Grover

from Bank of America, N.A. The terms of loan provide that interest on the loan
is payable quarterly and all outstanding principal and all accrued and unpaid

ITEM 6.           Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with
                  Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

     The response to Items 3, 4 and 5 of this Statement are incorporated herein
by reference.

     The Grover C. Coors Trust and the Company have entered into the following
agreements with respect to the securities of the Company:

Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement

     The Company and the Grover C. Coors Trust entered into a Preferred Stock
Purchase Agreement, dated August 15, 2000, attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2,
pursuant to which the Grover C. Coors Trust acquired 1,000,000 shares of the
Company's preferred stock. The Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement provides
certain rights to the Grover C. Coors Trust, as the holder of the preferred
stock, as described in "Terms of the Preferred Stock" below.

Terms of Preferred Stock

     The following is a summary of certain terms of the preferred stock and is
qualified in its entirety by the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement and by the
Statement of Designations, attached hereto as Exhibit 99.4:

     Ranking. The preferred stock ranks senior to the Common Stock and to all
classes or series of stock to the extent that they rank junior to the preferred
stock as to dividend rights, redemption rights or liquidation rights.

     Liquidation Preference. The preferred stock has a liquidation preference of
$100 per share (the "Stated Value"), plus all accrued and unpaid dividends (the
"Liquidation Preference").

     Dividends. Holders of preferred stock are entitled to receive quarterly
dividends at an annual rate per share of 10% of the Liquidation Preference of
such share from and including August 15, 2000 (the "Issue Date"). However, for
so long as the Liquidation Preference per share is equal to the Stated Value per
share, the amount of dividend payable per share will be $2.50 for each full
quarterly dividend period.

     Redemption. The preferred stock is not redeemable prior to the fifth
anniversary of the Issue Date. Subject to certain limitations set forth in the
Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, after the fifth anniversary of the Issue
Date, the preferred stock is redeemable, in whole or in part, at the option of
the Company on at least 20 but no more than 60 days notice to the holders of
preferred stock during the 12-month periods commencing on the anniversary of the
Issue Date in each of the following years, at the following prices per share,
plus in each case, all accrued and unpaid dividends: 2005, $105; 2006, $104;
2007, $103; 2008, $102; 2009, $101; and 2010 and thereafter, $100.

     Conversion Rights. Unless previously redeemed, shares of the preferred
stock may, at the option of the holder, be converted, in whole or in part, into
fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock at any time and from time to
time prior to the date of redemption. The conversion rate is currently 48.485
shares of Common Stock for each share of preferred stock (the "Conversion
Rate"). The Conversion Rate will be adjusted if the Company (i) pays a dividend
or makes a distribution on the Common Stock, (ii) subdivides the outstanding
shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (iii) combines the
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, (iv) pays a
dividend or makes a distribution on the Common Stock in shares of its capital
stock, (v) issues by reclassification of its shares of Common Stock any shares
of its capital stock or (vi) issues Common Stock at a price less than 80% of the
current market price.
<PAGE>
     Put Rights. From and after the tenth anniversary of the Issue Date until
such time as Coors has agreed to register with the SEC a sufficient amount Coors
Class B Common Stock to repay, on an after-tax basis, all of the indebtedness
incurred by the Grover C. Coors Trust in connection with the purchase of the
preferred stock, or until such time as such indebtedness has otherwise been paid
in full, the holder of the preferred stock has to the right to require the
Company to repurchase some or all of the preferred stock for an amount per share
equal to the Liquidation Preference.

     Voting Rights. Each share of preferred stock is entitled to a number of
votes equal to one vote for each two whole shares of Common Stock into which
such share of preferred stock is convertible. The holders of preferred stock
shall vote together with the holders of Common Stock as a single class, except
that the holders of preferred stock are not permitted to vote on the election of
directors until after the expiration or earlier termination of the waiting
period in connection with the pre-merger notification under the
Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvement Act of 1976. In addition, the holders of
preferred stock will vote separately as a single class on any merger or
consolidation of the Company, the sale of all or substantially all of the
Company's assets or the dissolution or liquidation of the Company.

Registration Rights Agreement

                  The Company has also entered into a Registration Rights
Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit 99.3, in connection with the issuance of
the preferred stock. The Registration Rights Agreement gives the holder of the
preferred stock the right to demand registration under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Act"), of the Common Stock into which the preferred stock
is convertible at any time upon written notice to the Company. The Company is
obligated to use its best efforts to complete the registration of the Common
Stock so requested within 90 days of the request by the holder, subject to
certain exceptions. If the Company proposes to register any of its securities
under the Act, it must give the holder of the preferred stock notice of such
proposal and cause to be registered under the Act all of the securities so
requested by such holder, subject to certain exceptions. The Company is required
to bear all of the expenses associated with a registration pursuant to the
Registration Rights Agreement, subject to certain limited exceptions. The
registration rights of the holder will terminate on the later of the tenth
anniversary of the Issue Date or the fifth anniversary of the conversion of all
outstanding shares of preferred stock into Common Stock.
