My friend Stuart and I had Cubano sandwiches and beers at the trailhead Taphouse in beautiful downtown Golden, Colorado last night and thought it was a really great place. Stuart discovered it a few weeks ago after hiking the nearby Clear Creek Trail, and thought it looked like a good place to try. The Cubano sandwich was great, and they serve a mean porter, too. It was a fairly youthful crowd, which kind of surprised me, but the Colorado School of Mines is just a few blocks away, and so I assume they were mostly engineering students out for a night on the town. Nobody parties like engineering students, after all.
Afterwards, Stuart treated me to a cup of decaf at a nearby Starbucks, where we sat outside, across the street from the Table Mountain Inn, a really nice hotel with - according to Stuart - a really great Cantina (as seen in the photograph on the right). We both agreed eating Mexican food after a hike along the Clear Creek Trail would be a great idea. Golden is a wonderdul town, older than Denver, and was actually the first capitol of Colorado. It has a beautiful historic district, in which is located Golden City Brewery, a beer garden and the second largest brewery in Golden. What's the biggest one again?
