The Wynkoop Brewing Company is a legendary brewpub in Denver, Colorado. It’s housed in an old public building with massive timber support beams, stamped tin ceilings, and creaky wood floors. This photo was taken on a quiet Sunday evening while enjoying fish and chips, macaroni and cheese, and Railyard Ale. A delicious and relaxing way to end the day.
This post was inspired by the Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge.
Went there once for happy hour when I was in Denver for business.
And what did you think of it, John? Jay and I thought it had a very relaxed, unpretentious vibe despite it’s prestige. The food was excellent!
Interesting name. Wynkoop – Dutch? Certainly Afrikaans. I wonder if the original owner came from South Africa!
I believe you are correct about the name being Dutch, Mike. The brewery is named after the street that runs in front of it. There must have been some important Dutch settlers involved in establishing Denver way back in the Wild West to have a street named after them.
I was sold at macaroni and cheese! The wood features make this space so inviting and appealing.
And what macaroni and cheese it was, too! Rich and creamy with beer tossed bread crumbs sprinkled on top – now my mouth is watering…..
Mine too!
