Beer Birthday: John Hickenlooper

February 7, 2021 By Jay Brooks 2 Comments

colorado
Today is the 69th birthday of Governor of Colorado — and former Denver mayor — John Hickenlooper. John was also the co-founder of Wynkoop Brewery in Denver’s LoDo District, and in fact is credited with helping to revitalize the whole area. After being a popular, and by all accounts very effective mayor, for several years, he was elected as the Governor of Colorado. John’s been great for Denver, Colorado and craft brewing. Join me in wishing John a very happy birthday.

    USA needs more governors like Hickenlooper (especially in the Tea Party states)!
