Mount Falcon Level 6 (intermediate) group ride. We’ll head uphill for what feels like forever, do the castle loop and head down. The distance is about 8.5 miles and 1,900 ft of climbing.

We will start riding promptly at the posted start time from the parking lot.

I’ll plan on hanging out in the parking lot afterwards to enjoy a post ride adult beverage and great conversation with this fun group.

22.7 miles and 9 breweries, all in a day. Don't plan on drinking a beer at every stop, plan on sharing.

When it comes to Golden breweries, you can’t go wrong.
First there was Coors, then Coors and a craft brewery, then the frenzy.

9. Coors Brewery
Only one thing is better than a sunset with a yellow jacket, and that’s a sunrise with a silver bullet.
Sure, everyone knows Colorado as a brewery haven. But wrap your head around this: Coors has been brewing beer in Golden longer than Colorado has been a state.
Since 1873, of course, a few things have changed. Coors grew into the world’s largest single-site brewery. The original Coors Brewing Company and its holder, Adolph Coors Company, merged with Molson in 2005. MillerCoors ran the show as the parent brand before ceding the US operation to Molson Coors. That company moved HQ out of Golden to Chicago.

8. Barrels and Bottles Brewery
The wine slushies are a timeless treasure, like Fleetwood Mac’s Rumors vinyl. They might even elicit more emotion.”
With more than 20 beer taps, 24 wines on tap, Barrels and Bottles also offers a food menu with a kitchen. That’s not a common feature in Golden breweries.

7. Holidaily Brewing Company
The skinny: Holidaily is the only local brewery to be fully committed to brewing gluten-free beer.

6. Mountain Toad Brewing
Something about the small, treed backyard with its fire pit and rotating food trucks makes Mountain Toad a great place for an outdoors beer on a cold winter night. It’s right downtown and always delivers a good time.
The skinny: Tucked along Washington Street in downtown Golden, Mountain Toad also opened in 2013. From the first pour, the Golden locale has been infused into what they do. Original beers like Apex Amber, White Ranch Wit, and Mt. Zion IPA. Colorado nature art on the walls. A sun-kissed patio. A cycling toad mural. It’s hard to forget where you are.

5. Cannonball Creek Brewing Company
Look at a map of Golden and you won’t find a “Cannonball Creek.” That wasn’t always true, though. Before it was Clear Creek, the idyllic waterway that flows through Golden was known as Cannonball Creek. Since they opened in 2013, Cannonball has turned out some of Golden’s favorite beers—looking at you, Trump Hands. The beers also play well at the Great American Beer Festival. In fact, Cannonball beer has received a medal at GABF every year since the brewery opened.

4. Golden City Brewery
GCB’s heritage runs deep. Golden’s original microbrewery, they provided the only hometown beer option other than Coors from 1993 until Cannonball Creek opened in 2013. And as if you couldn’t get any more “Golden,” the brewery was founded by two geologists: Charlie and Jamie Sturdavant.
The pair opened GCB in their home. Literally. The taproom originated in their sunroom,and today it occupies what used be the carriage house. The patio—which received the most votes among our staff for the best outdoor seating area in Golden—consumes their backyard. Visitors pick from a diverse menu with progressive experimental tastes alongside go-tos (yes, they have multiple hazy IPAs).

3. Coda Brewing
“Coda’s got a cool space and a bit of different vibe than the other Golden breweries. I think the theme is ‘chemistry nerd,’ and they, fittingly, seem to experiment a bit more with their beers. There’s always something different to try.”
The skinny: Coda may be the most “tucked away” of all the Golden breweries. And that kind of matches their vibe. Styled like an apothecary, Coda is all about mixology. Experimental brews regularly hit the menu, made with various elixirs and tinctures. A few of them have won medals at the Great American Beer Festival. What’s more: Coda won a “Best Startup Brewery of the Year” award from Brewbound in 2014.

2. New Terrain Brewing Company
“Huge outdoor space with a hard-to-beat view of North Table, so you can watch folks ride the singletrack right to the brewery (or lap the Golden bike park next door). Maybe the best original beers around, pound-for-pound, and an excellent way to spend a summer afternoon.

1. Over Yonder Brewing Company
The beers are consistently good, arguably the best in town. Lots of bluegrass and jam band stuff going on if you’re into that sort of thing.”

North Table Mountain Level 4 (intermediate) group ride. We'll do the North Table Figure 8 loop starting from New Terrain Brewery. Rim Rock trail is closed until the end of July, so we will make the final descent down the waterfall section at the end of Mesa Top trail before heading back to New Terrain. Without Rim Rock, this ride should be around 9 miles and 1300' climbing.

Meet in front of New Terrain Brewing at the posted start time.

I’ll plan on hanging out at the brewery afterwards to enjoy a post ride adult beverage and great conversation with this fun group.
