Wild Blue Yonder Brewing Information

Wild Blue Yonder Brewing Co. 519 Wilcox St. is an eye-catching one-third acre spot in historic downtown Castle Rock, Colorado. The site encompasses three distinct structures: a converted Victorian home, a classic Carriage House, and a community brewpub space. The Victorian, colloquially known as the Leonard House, is filled with rich historic charm. It is named after the original owners, George & Evelyn Leonard, who purchased the lots in 1875 for $2. The Leonards built the Carriage House in 1887 and the Victorian house in 1902. It is believed the family may have resided in the Carriage House while the Victorian house was under construction. The property was purchased in 1918 by John & Anna Schweiger. The Schweigers were the owners of the original Happy Canyon Ranch located just east of I-25. When John passed away in 1925, his eldest daughter Rose resided in the house with her husband Lester Tuggle. Lester Tuggle was the first Street & Water Commissioner and the Night Marshal for the town of Castle Rock. The Leonard House remained a home until 1964 when it became the home of the beloved local icon the Golden Dobbin restaurant. The Golden Dobbin was a favorite spot for hungry travelers going between Colorado Springs and Denver. Property ownership changed two more times, becoming the Augustine Grill in 1996. In 2004, the Augustine Grill expanded the dining space with a dining room addition to the original Leonard House. The Leonard House is a classic example of Victorian architecture complete with intricate detailing on the exterior. The Carriage House is located in the rear corner of the property, facing 6th Street. The original Victorian home and 1887 Carriage House provide Wild Blue Yonder Brewing Company with unarguable charm and appeal. WBY purchased the property in January 2018 with dreams of building out a community-focused brewpub.
