Beer Birthday: John Hickenlooper

February 7, 2022 By Jay Brooks

colorado
Today is the 70th birthday — The Big 7-O — of Senator — and former Colorado Governor and 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, and more recently Senator for 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)!
