Tour of the Coors plant, you get a wrist band that allows you to get 3 free samples. I thought it would be swallow size samples, nope, full beer glass samples.

Never... Randman would travel three times that for a cold Bud Light.

Some interesting trivia I learned also,

Employees are allow 2 free beers after their shift. There is Coors and Coors LIght on tap in the employee cafeteria.

They are allowed to purchase up to 9 cases of product per month using employee discount. (the guide didn't say how much the discount was, but I bet it's steep)

:bbeersign: :beer: :bdrunk:

Daughters, youngest on right is just posing. The tour guide cards everyone, anyone over 21 gets a wrist band and a mountain stamp. Then at the sample lounge, they sometimes card again, and monitors that walk around the lounge making sure only people with bands are drinking. They have free Pepsi products for people under 21.
