Coors Tour & Buffalo Bill's grave in Golden, CO

We made it to Golden!


Starting the Coors Tour.

Feeling/smelling the hops, grains, and barley
used to make Coors Beer.

All the beers they had on tap in the tasting room.
We tried Colorado Native, only available in CO and all
ingredients are grown here in CO. We also tried
Batch 19, a new beer coming out this summer?
The boys had endless amounts of Root Beer...
they were happy campers!!

We decided to get out of town Friday, and visit Golden, CO. There was a lot to do, we didn't have time for Dinosaur Ridge or the Railroad Museum. We had lunch at The Capital, which used to be the Capital of Jefferson Territory in the late 1800's. Then headed over to Coors for the tour and samples. It was interesting...for instance they really do pull natural spring water from underground to make Coors Beer. After our samples, we drove to Lookout Mountain to see Buffalo Bill's grave-site and enjoy the mountain views.
