6-7:45PM Golden Beer Talks @ Buffalo Rose
Topic: The Role of the Intestinal Microbiome in Health
Speaker: Dr. Catherine Lozupone
Brewery: Mountain Toad
The human gut contains trillions of microorganisms. These organisms perform essential functions, including extracting dietary calories, modulating the immune system and producing metabolites from food that affect health in the gut and beyond—including the brain and joints.
Dr. Lozupone will provide a scientific primer on what is known about the composition and function of this fascinating community of organisms, as well as efforts by the scientific community to target gut microbiome to improve human health.
An evening hosted by Golden Beer Talks centers around a brief, informative and entertaining presentation by an expert on an irresistibly enticing topic. Each event features beer for sale from one of our local breweries, along with a variety of delicious food and drink offerings from the Buffalo Rose kitchen and bar.
It's Golden's own grassroots version of TED talks for the benefit of our own local community--and just for the fun of it. Golden Beer Talks is a nonprofit venture focused on three favorite local things--Golden and Beer and Talking!

Golden History: Golden's Million Dollar Military Parade
World War II War Bonds Parade – Golden History Museum Collection
Click to enlarge
The August 19, 1943 Colorado Transcript described the “Million Dollar Military Parade” that took place on Washington Avenue the previous Saturday. The parade was part of the annual “Golden Days” celebration (which was the precursor to Buffalo Bill Days).
Since we were squarely in the middle of World War II at the time, the parade had a special military emphasis. It featured three companies of Army troops, which were stationed at the School of Mines at that time. The tanks and trucks came from Camp George West.
Those who observed the expressions on the faces of the berry-brown men who manned this mechanical fighting equipment knew that when the time comes these men are prepared to do their duty and in no uncertain manner.
The military display served as a reminder to BUY WAR BONDS, which were used to finance the War.
