Golden opportunity...

I had some free time to myself today so I decided to visit the Coors Brewing factory in Golden, CO. I've toured many breweries but I have to say the facilities here were impressive.

Most impressive were the many brewing vats.


What watch could be more appropriate for the day than a gold Rolex?


And nothing nicer than finishing a tour with a COLD beer and a bag of chips!


I hope you had as nice a day!

No more need for trucks, I could hook up a hose right to one of these vats.

I could be right at home here.

Surprised you did not dunk the GMT in that beer. Nice pictures from what seems like a lovely visit.

Since WIS's love correct terminology, those beer vats are Mash Tuns!

Great tour there.

Golly that YG GMT sure looks great in your pix!

I am now wondering if a root beer GMT would have been more appropriate...
