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. Its known as the brewery that brewed a neighborhood becausewithout exaggerationWynkoop 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 Wynkoopfrom our beer inspired menu to our one-of-a-kind events.
