A Trip To Clear Creek In Winter


I stopped in Golden yesterday afternoon and took a short walk to Clear Creek, where I took the above photograph. There were a fair number of people walking around, despite the 28-degree temperatures, but the tubers and kayakers that are drawn to the creek in the summer are long gone. Coors Brewery, the largest single brewing facility in the world, is located on Clear Creek in Golden, just downriver from where I took this photo. I have always joked that Coors simply takes the water from this creek as it passes by the brewery, and immediately adds it to their kettles, with all those tubers and kayakers simply adding to the flavor of the beers they brew. But now that RFK Jr. is the new Health and Human Services Secretary, could that become a reality? After all, he believes in drinking raw milk and is against putting fluoride in the water. Not to mention being a rabid anti-vaxxer. Could he decide treating water is bad, and advocate for "raw water" instead. Now THAT would definitely put you off your beer.
