Day with Old Man Evans Part 2: Coors Tour

After a morning of fishy fun, we took Cowboy Bronco Billy to get a cool beverage at the Miller-Coors factory tour in Golden, CO. Its a nice 30 min self-guided jaunt through an impressive facility and you get free beer at the end.

The 'M' is for The School of Mines. Not Mountain, as I had guessed.

Where dreams are made.

The makings of beer

Step one: green stuff

Step two: brown stuff

And as everything we consume, add corn and prest-o!

Wow, indeed.

Now that's America.

Halfway through a 30 min tour you get some beer. "I can't wait 15 more minutes man, I need something to get me the rest of the way! Oh, thank god."

I didn't sit on it out of fear of getting stuck like in A Christmas Story, but way worse.

Finally we made it to the bar, which was pretty neat.

Batch 19 is only available in 5 cities and on tap at the Miller-Coors bar in Golden, so make the trip out and try it out.

As the bubbles leave my glass we say good bye to the factory and look forward to the next time we can travel your malty halls. I think we might have to become one of the "short tour" groups. I wonder what kind of limits they have on how many times you can go in a day? That is a question I am willing to answer, for science. It was great having Cowboy Bronco Billy out to the big city and can't wait for him to visit again.
