Wynkoop

COMMUNITY PARTNERS

Wynkoop is proud to support these community organizations, and deeply appreciative of the work that they do.

We love beer, and we love people. We love people helping people. If we can use beer to help people help people, well, we are excited to do it! We are proud to be considered a Denver institution, and with that title comes responsibility. Wynkoop has always been incredibly involved in the community, and we wanted to take a moment to highlight some of the amazing organizations that we have had the opportunity to work with.

The Cottonwood Institute

“The Cottonwood Institute has partnered with Wynkoop Brewing Company for the past 5 years. Wynkoop was one of the first restaurants in Denver to move towards zero waste by recycling and composting and this is really important to us. Wynkoop has supported the Cottonwood Institute by hosting fundraising events, donating beer for our Base Camp Bash fundraising event, donating brewery tours and gift cards for our auction, and two years ago created a fundraising beer called “Cottonwood Organic White” to help support our programs.

Because of Wynkoop’s support, we have been able to fund programs like our Operation: Military Kids program to benefit children of military families. Our military families have given so much to our country and it’s our turn to help these American heroes by providing a fun opportunity for their children to get out of the house and into the outdoors to practice survival skills, leadership skills, and complete environmental service projects to give back to the land. ”
–Ford Church, Founder and Executive Director
