After thirteen years of toiling in the shadows of its parent company, Molson Coors, AC Golden Brewing is ready for the major leagues. The maker of Colorado Native, Batch 19, Barmen Pilsner and Hermann Joseph s Private Reserve will begin serving its beers in May at the AC Golden Tank Room in McGregor Square, the massive Colorado Rockies-associated mixed-use development across the street from Coors Field.
The 5,100-square-foot Tank Room, with a distinctive set of copper-clad tanks at its center, will also serve a full menu in its dining room and outdoor patio, and will be operated by Tom’s Watch Bar under a naming-rights deal with AC Golden. Tom s Watch Bar, an evolution of the Tom s Urban concept founded by restaurateur Tom Ryan, will open directly below the Tank Room.
