Brewery Tours

Today I went to the Coors Brewery with two friends, Sami and Laurel. This just happened to be Sami's first brewery tour so she was over excited. I think her expectations were something like this:

You walk in and are greeted by John, a person at the peak of male attractiveness, who will be your personal guide. John then gets his assistant, Mike (equally as attractive), to take your picture in front of the big Coors sign while John pours you a nice cold pint. On the tour you are actually involved in the process of making beer. John laughs at all of your jokes and trusts you enough to add the hops to the brewing kettle. The tour finishes in a swanky lounge where you can drink all the delicious Coors beer you want.

In all actuality you were on a tour with a ton of other people listening to little "cell phones" on lanyards for all the facts. After a few rooms Sami and Laurel decided to ditch the listening devices and were on the hunt for the beer lounge. I followed giving them little nuggets of information that the walkie talkie was giving me. The end of the tour was a large bar area where you could get 3 free samples. And it was pretty warm the entire time, I was basically pitting out in all pictures. Whoops.

So brewery tours are not the most fun but there is free beer and if you add good company then its all I need. So thank you Sami and Laurel for a very fun afternoon.
