06/09/16 • 20 min

John Hickenlooper was inaugurated as the governor of Colorado in 2011. The first professional geologist to become a governor in the history of the nation and the first brewer since Sam Adams in 1792, he previously served as mayor of Denver, an administration for which Time magazine named him one of the five top big-city mayors in America. He chairs the National Governor’s Association and was named one of Esquire‘s “Americans of the Year 2012.” Governor Hickenlooper reads from and discusses his new memoir The Opposite of Woe: My Life in Beer & Politics, his candid, and very funny story, from early loss to college on the ten-year plan, to remarkable business and political success.
