Please say it ain't so. I just think their burgers are fantastic, but I will boycott them and all other Hickenlooper affiliated things.Quote:

Saw this on a search just now. It is old 2007. Don't know of any specifics or if he bought into another group or restaurant.
Denver mayor sells interest in eateries

Mayor John Hickenlooper will no longer be the owner of the Wynkoop Brewing Company, the Cherry Cricket or the other restaurants around Denver that established him as an entrepreneur.
Ownership members of Wynkoop Holdings Inc. voted Friday to buy the mayor out of the group, a source close to the deal confirmed Sunday.
Details of the deal were not available Sunday night.
Hickenlooper has kept his ownership in Wynkoop Holdings in a blind trust since he took office in 2003 to avoid conflicts of interest.
Other restaurants owned by the group include Gaetano’s, Goosetown Tavern and the Wazee Supper Club.
I am ready for a boycott of anyone involved with Chickenpooper.
I am going to miss drinking Coopersmith's beer.
I'm down too. Will memorize the list and pass it on to like-minded friend.
I am down!
I smashed my Wynkoop pint glass I had at the house and stopped buying any of their products the second I heard he was supporting all of these gun bills.
Don't just boycott Hick's beer.
Every beer you buy in Colorado, you pay state excise taxes on.
And Federal excise taxes as well.
And it's perfectly legal, in Colorado, to brew not more than 50 gallons per household per year of beer or wine, for household use, without any permits or tax payments or whatever.
Sooo....anybody up for a recipe-sharing thread? Ten pounds of Maris Otter, mashed warm, and three ounces of Cascade FWH, with almost any ale yeast, is one of my faves.
Home distillation isn't quite legal, but it's still perfectly legal to buy bourbon in Cheyenne, I think. And I have a lot less heartburn with Wyoming collecting sales taxes from me, than Colorado, right now.
