This episode of Building Breweries is sponsored by New Air Appliances. In the belly of the Coors is AC Golden Brewing - the craft arm of MillerCoors where they test batch products on a 30-barrel system. Most notably, Colorado Native (a brand which only contains CO ingredients). In an episode originally recorded for my other podcast (Eat. Drink. Social), we speak with David Coors about all things Colorado Native, how they stand separate from MillerCoors, and how they fit into the world of craft beer.  Want to support the podcast?
