Golden History Moment
October 31, 1993 was a major event in Golden history: it was the day Golden City Brewery opened! At that time they began selling growlers of Red Ale, take out only.
Normally, GCB celebrates their anniversary by selling beer at 1993 prices. As you can imagine, this attracts big crowds, so they’re not doing that this year, but once we get past the COVID hurdle, they’re planning to have a big blow out party combining all the events we’ve missed this year–St. Patrick’s Day, Summer Solstice, 4th of July, GoldenFest, Chili Cookoff, and Halloween. Expect bagpipes playing mariachi music to accompany the Chicken Dance.
Not only is Golden City Brewery the 2nd Largest Brewery in Golden, it’s also the 2nd Oldest. It preceded the other craft breweries in Golden by at least 20 years. (On a personal note, we can trace the evolution of their logos through my husband’s t-shirt collection.)
Happy 27th Anniversary to Golden City Brewery!
