Visiting the Centennial State and the Home of the Silver Bullet

On Thursday, we awoke in beautiful Colorado.

We flat-landers get pretty excited when we see mountains,

so I took lots of photos while hubby was driving.

Since hubby likes to brew his own brew, 

we wanted to tour the Coors Brewing Company in Golden.

Whether you brew beer, drink beer, or neither,

this tour is quite impressive.

It is self-guided, so you can spend as much or as little time as you want there.

At each station, use your hand held speaker...press the corresponding number to listen to the beer brewing facts.

And there are plenty of friendly folks along the way to answer questions and personalize your experience.

I was most impressed with the many, many copper brewing tanks.

Aren't they pretty?

Equally impressive was the rate at which cans and bottles were packaged and went past us on these conveyor belts.

Last stop...the Tasting Room.

Yes, free samples of the freshest beers you'll ever taste.

Definitely, time well spent...

And Golden is a quaint little town for lunch and shopping.

Back into the vehicle for our drive up the mountain.

Such beautiful scenery.

And then into Aspen,

Emily was home from work...ready for guests.

We were able to celebrate her birthday with a nice dinner out.

Little Sorbet Mice...

a sweet ending to a perfect day.

Take care,
