Wynkoop Brewery Spoofs Marijuana Ad


FindMyPot     A flyer making the rounds in downtown Denver might catch the eye of a frugal medical marijuana patient. Under the words “Dispensing Alternative Healing since 1988,” the flyer promises prices for 10 different strains starting at 35 cents per ounce.Yikes! The great market crash predicted by Emerald Triangle growers is happening! Time to sell the UFO lights and restore your kid’s closet back the way it was before you converted it into the neighborhood grow room.


I have to admit, this is pretty brilliant of the Wynkoop to do.  Way to tap into the dispensaries popularity with an actual creative ad.  I'm so sick of the same old beer ads, this one is actually refreshing.   I can't wait to see the sort of 'alternate' clientèle that will be attracted to the Wynkoop because of this flyer.   I guess I never realized that hops resembled marijuana that much.  


I'm just curious to see how former Wynkoop owner Hickenlooper's campaign for CO governor is going to hold up.  I'd be pissed if I were him. 


P.S.  I really like the Wynkoop, but I'm not a huge fan of their beer.  Am I alone on this?  That place is always packed with people just getting wasted off beer, but there is not one single one that stands out to me that much.  As far as local microbrews go, Wynkoop's beers aren't as flavorful as New Belgium or Odells, but what do I know?  I still love hanging out and having a gin and tonic any day of the week.


P.P.S.  I can't believe anybody drinks that Chili Beer.
