The New York Times notes that the lack of availability helped make Coors a legendary beer and that people actually did smuggle it. Rather than deal with the headaches of spoiled beer, Coors simply didn't extend its distribution eastward beyond the Mississippi River. Coors was a regional product of Colorado, and it wasn't pasteurized and contained no preservatives, which made shipping it beyond certain geographical limitations without a decline in quality impossible. In fact, this remained the case until 1986. Here's the untold truth of 'Smokey and the Bandit.'Įxcept it wasn't silly in 1977, because, as Vinepair reports, you really couldn't get Coors beer east of the Mississippi. From Reynolds' incredible mustache to the gold Firebird logo on his Trans Am, this movie is part of pop culture for a lot of very good reasons, beginning with the fact that it's low-key hilarious and ending with its iconic re-imagining of the South.
