6/20/08 - Golden, Colorado






In the morning we went on a tour of the Coors Brewery. It was one of those self-guided deals where you walk around listening to a recorded spiel on a headphone. At the hospitality room we were allowed three beers. Coors is the largest single site brewery in the world but they make fewer beers than your average brewpub. All of their beers were pretty tasteless. My niece Anne-Alex met us and we had lunch at Hops, a chain brewpub in Golden. After that we drove up to the Buffalo Bill Museum and gravesite on top of a peak overlooking Golden. The museum was very interesting and well worth the trip. My dad told me he saw Buffalo Bill's wild west show when he was a kid. Then we drove to Anne-Alex and Kevin's house in Erie and had a nice dinner of grilled tuna, exotic rice, and salad. Then we went to the Pumphouse Brewery in Longmont and had beer samplers and dessert.
