Company Description:
HOME OF HISTORY-MAKING HOSPITALITY Wynkoop is Colorado’s first brewpub and home to Denver tastemakers, rulebreakers, and envelope pushers since 1988. Over more than three decades, the LoDo neighborhood has transformed, Colorado’s craft beer industry has exploded, and Wynkoop is still here serving cold beer to warm friends.
Today, Wynkoop remains a Denver institution, known for its innovative, ballsy brewers who put just about anything in their beer, including Rocky Mountain oysters, gummy bears and green chiles. It’s known as the brewery that brewed a neighborhood because—without exaggeration—Wynkoop helped catalyze the revitalization of LoDo. Our neighborhood is the heartbeat of the city, surrounded by iconic landmarks like Coors Field, Larimer Square, and Union Station. We like to think it all began with beer.
Comfort, fun, and hospitality are the foundation of everything we do and brew at Wynkoop–from our beer inspired menu to our one-of-a-kind events. We don’t take ourselves too seriously except when it comes to delivering history-making hospitality. So, if you’re into that sort of thing, you’ve come to the right place.
