Silverback Pale Ale is made with grains of paradise, an African spice with a pungent, peppery flavor. The spice is also a key part of the diet of Africa’s mountain gorillas. Wynkoop donates 50 percent of all profits from the beer to the Denver-based Mountain Gorilla Conservation Fund. Wynkoop Brewing Co. is Colorado’s first brewpub, launched in 1988 by a group led by current Denver mayor John Hickenlooper.
