WYNKOOP BREWERY
We craft more than 40 different styles of beer — from sessionable ales and lagers to jaw-dropping seasonal and experimental rule-breakers – each year on our brand new state of the art 20-barrel brewing system.
Our first brewer Russell Scherer was curious, with a charming irreverence for traditional beer styles. His legacy lives on in Wynkoop’s current beer lineup, which features unexpected ingredients (think Rocky Mountain Oysters), a huge variety of beer styles, and the zest of Wynkoop’s current brewing staff (meet them here).

NEW BEERS IN DENVER TO PUT ON YOUR RADAR
I’ve been brewing all kinds of beers at Wynkoop for a few months now. If you’re curious, here’s a run-down on some cool stuff I’ve been whipping up
September 27. 2016
John Simms is the latest brewer to join the ranks over at Wynkoop Brewery. He started brewing in Dallas in 1993, worked his way up and went on to work for several more breweries over the years. He also served as President of the Craft Brewers Association from 1999 – 2001.

Our downtown Denver brewery resides in a 125-year-old brick warehouse building that’s seen a lot of changes over the last century. In the past year or so, we made a few changes of our own when we updated our 30-year-old tap system, replacing all of our taps, lines and pumps so we could get fresh beer from the basement up to our bars. And just recently we installed brand new, state-of-the-art brewing equipment, making our brewers’ lives (and backs) easier with our newly implemented grain elevator.

We are thrilled to announce the release of our newly redesigned website. It has been crafted to reflect Wyknoop’s rich history and our love for really good beer. We hope that you will enjoy our website’s fresh new look. Grab a beer and hang out with us for a while.
