Could you recommend a beginner setup? I would like to make a beer as close to Coors Light at home - kinda weird, but that's interesting for me atm. Cheers!

you can get away with as little as a kettle for boiling wort, a fermentor setup (bucket, lid, airlock), and some stuff for bottling (siphon/hose, bottling wand, bottles, caps, and a capping tool if using glass bottles). That will allow you to start brewing extract-based beers. The next logical step is BIAB, which is the same setup except you add in a bag to hold grains and your process adds the mashing step.

I'd recommend getting at least a couple extract brews under your belt, then upgrading your setup. Prices and where to buy depends on where you are, but there's plenty of shops throughout North America (and EU/Aus/etc) that sell equipment kits

Thank you for the direction! I'm looking forward to giving it a go - this Spring might be a good time for it.

I've been tossing around the idea of making my own. I love harp and bass beers. Harp is able to be found again... But bass is out of production.

So the only way I'm going to get it is make my own :/
