Celebrating 10 Years of Community Through Delicious Pies: The End of Hinman Pies

Update A Fond Farewell to Hinman Pies: A Decade of Deliciousness As John Hinman prepares to close the doors of Hinman Pies after ten impactful years, the Denver community reflects on a journey filled with warmth, creativity, and connection. What started as a humble endeavor providing bread for the Post Brewing Company in 2016 quickly blossomed into a cult favorite that delivered sweet and savory pies to eager customers all over Colorado. From Bread to Pies: The Heart of Hinman Pies Hinman’s passion for baking pies transcended mere business; it became a celebration of community and shared experiences. His heartfelt announcement about the closure read, “What started as bread eventually became pies, but it was really about people.” This sentiment speaks volumes about how deeply connected he felt to his customers, grateful for the myriad of families and individuals who supported his dream. A Community Staple: The Culinary Impact The closure of Hinman Pies marks not just the end of a business but the closing chapter of various sweet memories experienced by loyal patrons. The pies, whether gracing a holiday table, appearing at farmers’ markets, or being served in local restaurants, were far more than just food; they were a part of celebrations, contributing to community bonding across Denver. Over his decade-long career, Hinman also contributed tremendously to the local restaurant scene, collaborating with popular establishments like Vesta Dipping Grill and Jax Fish House. His pies became a beloved offering when eateries faced staffing challenges, showcasing his commitment to help others in the industry. Giving Back: More Than Just Pies Beyond baking, Hinman showcased his dedication to the welfare of the restaurant community by founding the Culinary Hospitality Outreach and Wellness (CHOW) organization. This initiative, established to support restaurant workers dealing with mental health issues and substance abuse, underlines his multifaceted contributions and his earnest desire to uplift others in the culinary environment. Hinman didn’t just want to serve delicious food; he wanted to provide a supportive framework for those who made it possible. Celebrating the Legacy of Hinman Pies Even as the final days arrive for Hinman Pies, customers can still enjoy their favorite flavors by placing an order through the company’s website or visiting the shop until the end of May. The legacy John Hinman leaves behind is one of delicious memories and deep-rooted community connections. As families gather for their last slices of Hinman’s creations, they not only celebrate a decade of pies but a story of perseverance, passion, and the enduring power of food to connect people. Hinman may be closing this chapter, but the impact of Hinman Pies will surely linger in the hearts and taste buds of the Denver community.
