Mayor Hickenlooper

Brew pub owner John Hickenlooper cruised to victory tonight in the race to be Denver's first new mayor in more than a decade.

With about 103,000 ballots counted, Hickenlooper has nearly twice as many votes as city Auditor Don Mares.

Hickenlooper had 65 percent to Mares' 35 percent. All but one precinct has been counted.

Hickenlooper, who rebounded after losing his job as a geologist in the 1980s oil bust to launch a Lower Downtown brewpub and open a string of restaurants, was the favorite heading into today's election to succeed Wellington Webb, whose 12 years in the mayor's office end on July 21.

Beer for everybody!
