Tips Located 20 minutes from downtown, the Coors Brewery in Golden is the largest single brewery in the entire world.
Free tours are available to see the brewing and packaging areas of the facility.
For many of us, our first glimpse of a Coors product was when Burt Reynolds was hauling it illegally over state lines in the movie Smoky and the Bandit. Here s your chance to see the brewery that inspired a classic. Adolph Coors opened his brewery in 1873, three years before Colorado was even a state. Through hard work, and a little ingenuity during the prohibition period, Coors has become the third largest brewer in the world. In 1959, Coors became the first beverage company to use an all-aluminum can.
