Riding the Silver Bullet

On Saturday morning Quinley and I headed to the Coors Brewing Company. This is about 20 minutes away from downtown Denver in a small town named Golden. The town is real relaxed. There is about a total of 19,000 people in the town. In the town is the largest cobblestone building in all of the United States.

The Coors Brewing Tour starts on a bus that takes you through the town. You then end at the Brewery where we were able to partake in a self directed tour. Everything is free. They even give you three free taste sample of different beers.

I was shocked to discover the amount of detail that is taken to develop a Coors Beer. The creator of Coors was Adolf Coor (might have an “s” on the end). He started the company when he was 26 years old. Before any Coors is put on the market it has to pass the test of 200 independent taste testers. This Brewery is the largest Brewery in the United States.

We basically walked around and read about some of the history. At the end of the tour we had a few beers and relaxed.

Though I have never been a huge fan of Coors this experience definitely changed that for me. Though it doesn’t taste any different to me, I now have a much better understanding of its history which consequentially makes me like it more.
