Wynkoop Brewing

Colorado’s first brewpub, Wynkoop Brewing Company was founded in 1988 by a group of young entrepreneurs and urban pioneers led by current Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper. Our brewpub’s hallmarks -- highly acclaimed small-batch beers, high quality food & service, the city’s best pool hall and our glorious 1888 building -- helped make us a major catalyst for the revival of Lower Downtown Denver. Home to Wynkoop Brewing CompanyWelcome to the place where LoDo began.  In 1988, a band of urban pioneers, notably among them Colorado Governor, John Hickenlooper, took a shine to an unlikely building at the corner of 18th and Wynkoop.  They wanted to brew beer and foster community.  The place and the pioneers were an immediate success.  The small-batch beers and the hearty fare replicated an authentic public house.  Today, we are honored to be known as a legend.  We work equally hard to respect our heritage and to remain relevant in our beautiful Denver home.
