What was once a pure view of the Rocky Mountains now houses the remodeled Molson Coors brewery known as G150. The new plant will change the way the brewery, one of the largest in the world, operates.
Specifically, the project will improve and upgrade the brewery’s fermentation, aging and filtration facilities by replacing its horizontal fermenters with vertical tanks. It will increase the brewery’s capacity to collect and reuse carbon dioxide. It will reduce the facility’s energy and water consumption by 20% and waste by 35% as well as the amount of water it uses by 100 million gallons per year.
The hope is that Molson Coors will be able to save millions of dollars a year and thus become one of the most efficient breweries in the world thanks to the new facility. It now produces approximately one-quarter of the company’s beer in the United States, in one of the most efficient breweries in the world.
In 2024, the construction project will be completed, but to date more than 60% of the project has already been completed. More than 80% of the columns supporting the structure have been built. What was once a cooling pond is a multi-story building that is getting closer to completion every day.
Just a few miles from the Golden brewery, a team of local craftsmen is building dozens of stainless steel fermentation and aging tanks that will visually define G150. Molson Coors contracted Ziemann, a leading German beer equipment manufacturer, to design the 96 tanks that will be part of the facility; most of them are being built in Golden.
