BANQUET BEER AND BUFFALO BILL

February, 2008 -
 


 
The diner we ate breakfast at on our way out to Golden.  I ordered a big ole plate of french toast, used up more than my share of butter and doused the triangles or sweetened goodness with an alarming amount of syrup.  Of course, when I saw the mammoth meal of beef and assorted breakfast sides Donnie ordered, I did have a quiver of doubt run down my spine. 

Golden, Colorado.  The huge complex of buildings in the middle of town is responsible for Coors Light.

No fresher Coors sold, just across the street from the brewery.  Of course, there's that pesky Bud to contend with...

CULTURE BREEDS TASTE

The Kenny Rogers look alike overseeing all Coors production.

Hops or something were grown or something in those tanks behind us.

Hulk Hands aint got nothing on the marketing arm of Coors Light

In case you forgot what they brew here

All tour I harped on the lack of Mark Harmon pictures.  It wasn't until we got our hands on some free samples did Mark reveal himself and his chest hair to us.

Let the record show Donnetta is drinking ZIMA.  ZOWEE!
(Of course, the record also shows some Coors Non-Alcoholic beer topped off the tallies on Donnie's and mine drinking records)

At a Sinclair gas station, we got some gas and tall boys for our trip up the mountain to Buffalo Bill's grave

Keep off the buffalo!

Do you want to leave your mark on this world?

With table decorations like this, everything at the little diner at the top of the mountain made sense... even the chef:
