What does a Coors Brewery visit involve?
A Coors Brewery tour is a 90-minute visit covering malting, brewing and packaging. Along the way, the tour also includes historical photos, neon signs, beer cans, bottles and memorabilia from the brewery’s archives.
All visitors start at the tour parking lot at 502 14th St. and take a shuttle to the brewery complex. Plan for that shuttle transfer when arranging your arrival, and keep the full 90-minute tour duration in mind when fitting the visit into a day in Golden.
For a broader plan around town, the one-day Golden itinerary can help you pair the brewery with other local stops.

How do you get to Coors Brewery in Golden?
Every tour visit starts at the designated parking lot, not at the brewery complex. The lot is at 502 14th St., Golden, CO 80401, on the southeast corner of 13th and Ford Streets, where visitors board the shuttle.
Arrive at least 15 minutes before your reservation; the shuttle leaves promptly at the scheduled time. Parking is limited, and you are asked to move your vehicle from the tour lot after your visit. The lot cannot accommodate RVs, motor coaches, large tour buses, or vehicles towing trailers or campers.
Late arrivals have no refund eligibility, and late tour reservations cannot be rescheduled. If Coors cancels a visitor experience because of unsafe weather, an emergency or another unforeseen circumstance, it says it will notify you by email and issue a full refund, including applicable taxes and service fees.
If you are planning a wider outing, a Denver day trip from Golden offers a different way to fill your time in the area.
