Coors Brewery-Golden
FREE
Summer Hours:
Mon-Sat 10 am—4 pm
Sunday Noon—4 pm

Parking for the tours is in a large lot at the intersection of 13th and Ford Streets. The line for the Coors tour bus forms near this intersection.
The Coors tour is one of Colorado's most famous free tours, and one of the top Colorado attractions.
     After parking, you will be picked up by a small bus and taken on a short tour of downtown Golden. The driver will provide information about Golden and Coors along the way. After exiting the bus, you go into the Coors tour center, where you will receive an audio device that you listen to as you follow the self-guided tour.
     The Coors tour is very in depth, taking you through the history of Coors and the stages of brewing and packaging. You will see the huge brewing vats and other facilities critical to the process. The packaging area is one of the most dramatic aspects when it is in full operation.
     In the middle of the Coors tour you enter a room which serves a small sample of the freshest beer you will likely ever taste, recently off of the production line. At the end of the tour you enter the bar area where you receive three free drinks of your choice! And don't worry, they have root beer and other drinks for the designated driver and the children.
     The Coors tour is so popular that it can be very crowded with long wait times at the bus and bar. Consider attending earlier in the day or on a weekday.

Must be 21 and over to sample beers.
