Golden City Brewery





I was happy to see that Golden City Brewery seems to have survived the pandemic in fine fashion, and was packed with patrons this past Saturday when I attended the Golden Fine Arts Festival. It is the second largest brewery in Golden, Colorado after Coors, and is located in the backyard of the owner's 1870s era home. The carriage house is now the brewery, and located just half a block from Golden Historical Park and Clear Creek.




In fact, the beer garden is so successful that they have expanded into the side yard of the house, as seen in the photograph on the right. That guy must have an extremely understanding wife. However, after they expand into the front yard, the next logical move would be turn the first floor of the house into a restaurant, with the family living on the second floor. As a matter of fact, that was how a lot of businesses operated back in the 19th century, and so it would be an historically realistic move. Of course, by that time, the brewery owner's wife would probably have banished him to the brewery itself, making him sleep on a cot.
