Wynkoop Brewing Company

Back for its third year, our Belgium-meets-Colorado IPA hits the taps at Wynkoop and a select few of Denver's beeriest spots starting September 1. Belgorado is built with 95% Colorado-grown ingredients including the beer's base malts and 75 pounds per batch of fresh, locally grown hops. All fermented with a Belgian yeast. The beer is lusciously balanced with pale malt flavors, spice notes and layers of hops. It features 6.7% ABV, 50 IBUs, 95 OMGs.

Limited-release throwback beer is made with water from the Brown Palace’s underground aquifer We are now serving a new beer we’ve brewed in honor of the 120th anniversary of the opening of Denver’s famed Brown Palace Hotel & Spa. 1892 Artesian Lager is a custom-made, retro-minded beer we brewed with water from the underground aquifer that supplies the Brown Palace’s water.

The beer is part of our continuing effort to uphold the trailblazing history of our original brewer, the late and great Russell Schehrer, for whom the Brewers Association's annual Innovation Award is named. That's pressure, you know.
