The John Wynn

Описание

In 1854, while traveling west from Rusk County, Englishman John E. Wynn and his stepson WR McMillan, were so impressed with the rich land and beauty of the piney woods area that they ended their journey and bought 361 acres.They referrred to the area as the Crossroads, after the intersection of what are now our North Main and Pine Streets. Mr. Wynn and Mr. McMillan began building homes and opened the town’s first mercantile, the Cheap Cash Store. Other businesses and homes soon followed and the town became a bustling hub.Locals around town often called Crossroads the Wynns borough and some travelers began calling it Wynnsborough. When, in 1855, the town of Crossroads officially applied for a post office, they found that another community in Texas was also named Crossroads.In honor of Mr Wynn, the name was changed to Wynnsborough, but was translated to Winnsborough on the official application. Later, in the early 1890s the name was shortened to the current spelling of Winnsboro.In honor of Mr. John E Wynn we bring you this slightly more malty and more hoppy version of our popular Wynnsborough Pale Ale.
