The dream of the perfect artificial wave is turning into a nightmare for Coors<\/strong> brewing heir Doug Coors<\/strong> and his crew at Autin, Texas’ NLand Surfpark<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n After clearing numerous legal hurdles regarding dunking people into a pond of standing water, the Wave Garden park opened on October 7, 2016 only to close three weeks later after they were forced to drain the pool to make repairs (flooding local streets in the process), according to a story on KXAN<\/strong><\/a>. The park hasn’t been open since. <\/p>\n \u201cWhile this is disappointing for us all, we turn our focus to 2017 and the exciting plans we have in store. One hint: hops,\u201d founder Doug Coors, whose relatives started Colorado-based Coors Brewing Company, said. In an email to KXAN, a spokesperson confirmed there will be a brewery on site sometime in 2017.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Ah yes, beer — the international problem solver. Sounds like an NLand Brewery might have been a better idea than a surf park. If there’s one thing everyone loves it’s beer. Wave pool surfing in brown water? Not so much.<\/p>\n
