Wynkoop Brewing Company was founded in 1988 by then out-of-work geologist (and current governor of Colorado) John Hickenlooper and a group of urban pioneers. Wynkoop Brewing is Colorado's first brewpub and a pioneer of America's craft beer movement. The brewery brewed some of the first styles of craft beer ever seen in Colorado and the US. The brewpub was a key catalyst in the rebirth of Denver's formerly decaying lower downtown section (now known as LoDo).
