Mon, Sep 10th - Coors Brewery Tour, Golden, CO


It was a rainy day today, so we decided to drive down to Denver for lunch at Emil-lene's Sirloin House (http://www.sirloinhouse.com/ ) for a steak lunch and then down to Golden to take a tour at the Coors Brewery. What a facility--all 5 sq. miles of it. We had a great tour guide--Dotty. They create everything there on site--bottles, cans, beer, packaging, etc. We were impressed. We each got 3 beer to try after the tour. We tried: Blue Moon, which they served with an orange slice (Great); Zima Tangerine (refreshing); Harvest Moon (Pumpkin spice) (okay); and Killian's Irish Red (good). It was a fun tour and just a few weeks ago, they opened their VA brewery in Shenandoah Valley. See a virtual tour at http://www.coors.com/brews_tours.asp .

When we came out from the tour, the sun was shining, so we drove a mountain road back to Estes Park that gave us a different view and kept us out of the Denver traffic. See below.
