Adolph Coors III (January 12, 1916 – February 8, 1960), was the former heir to the Coors beer empire. Victim of an attempted kidnapping by Joseph Corbett, Jr. in Colorado in 1960, Coors died and a national manhunt for Corbett was launched. Corbett was captured in Vancouver, British Columbia in October of that year.

Coors was a graduate of the famous Phillips Exeter Academy in New Hampshire.

Ironically, Coors was allergic to beer.
