But she had never taken the popular tour of the historic brewing facility until about eight years ago when she started working there.In 2015, Harris joined Coors — now part of the Molson Coors Beverage Co. — as its corporate archivist, tasked with maintaining the official record of the beer pioneer, which was founded in 1873 by German immigrant Adolph Coors.Today, her office is a 9,500-square-foot cell on the third floor of Coors’ hop storage building in Golden. There, in the climate-controlled room, she’s surrounded by photos, documents, ledgers and promotion materials, many of which date back a century or more.“It’s not quite filled to the brim, but there’s a lot of stuff in there,” Harris said.On Saturday, Coors celebrates its 150th anniversary with a free street fair in downtown Golden (1 to 6 p.m.) that includes live music, outdoor games, food and, of course, beer.

Parkside, Grocer + Goddess close to opening in Los Gatos

Published Tue, 03 Dec 2024 17:59:37 GMT

As Parkside restaurant gets ready to open at Montebello and Main in downtown Los Gatos, there are a few things missing—namely, the “a” in its name on the side of the building. Apparently, the company that fabricated the letters had powder-coated the wrong side of the “a” and it needed to be redone.Restaurant owner Darren Matte says the HVAC system needed to be modified, which will necessitate another inspection before they can officially open. Perhaps we are looking at Oct. 13 at this point.The good news is that the weather has been ideal for drying concrete and building planter boxes, which are looking really handsome with their brick facing. Soon the plants will be installed, giving it more of a garden feel. Walking through the parklet area gives you an idea of just how capacious an outdoor dining area this will be, and with any luck, there will be some level of warmth in October befitting the enjoyment of a cocktail or a glass of wine al fresco.Just down the street, serial restau...

Who let the dogs out? Not Brentwood council members, who on Tuesday, pulled back the reins to allow Lazy Dog Restaurant and Bar to build as planned in the city’s Sand Creek Crossing shopping center.The restaurant’s design plans, which include an outdoor patio for diners and dogs, had earned the Planning Commission’s unanimous approval in mid-August but only with some expensive conditions that the developer, LRG Investors, would not agree to. Developer representatives made it clear they would walk away and look at other Bay Area locations.In an attempt to work out an agreement, Councilmember Jovita Mendoza asked the Brentwood City Council to reevaluate the commission’s decision and consider the restaurant’s new proposals to fix any problems.“It’s been a long path for the Lazy Dog Restaurant to come to the city of Brentwood,” Jared Taylor, a representative for Lazy Dog, told the council. “That’s actually a goal we’ve been working on, to bring a Lazy Dog restaurant to...
