We headed to the adorable slightly Midwestern style town of
Golden, Colorado, which is most famous for being home to the Coors brand. It was quite the operation with buses moving
everyone from an off-site parking lot to the factory. We got to learn about the history of the
company, the brewing process, see the progression of the company branding and
of course, get a fair share of samples.
We even hit the adorable town of Golden during their Buffalo Bill Days festival!
After exploring downtown Golden, we headed to the college
town of Boulder for some more brewery visits and on-demand fresh baked cookies
(they bake cookies fresh for you while you wait…why oh why Seattle do you not
have this?). My favorite brew of the day
was of course Hippie Nectar! Story of my
life…
To finish off the day, we went to see the Sounders play the
Colorado Rapids. Even though the
opponent’s fans outnumbered the green, blue and white of the Sounders fans, the
cheers from our section did not go unnoticed.
I feel like you have to have some sort of training to fully understand
all the cheers since they were complicated and long. I can only imagine the type of spirit there
is during a home game…
