Upon arrival in Golden, the highway brought us to the Coors brewery for a tour. Above the Coors brands, they also produce Molson, Keystone, Killians, Blue Moon, and Zima. The brewery here is the world's largest single site facility. This is the only site facility in the world that does all of the following: makes it's own cans, glass bottles, and packaging onsite; grows it's own grain on company owned farms, then malts it at the brewery; and ships it's product out by rail. The boys enjoyed the end of tour visit to the "Coors Lounge" for root beer, while dad enjoyed a Blue Moon and mom had a Zima.

I did not know there were any breweries in the U.S. that have control over so many of the steps on site, including creating the cans and bottles. Sounds like an interesting tour.

there enterprise is at least a mile long. It was quite a neat tour. I could care less it was beer, just neat seeing and hearing about the whole process~:-)
