I’ve enjoyed Dry Dock since shortly after they opened, and the new brewery and taproom is fabulous, with a wonderful ambiance. Kevin DeLange and Co do a great job. I literally pass within 100 yards of this brewery every day when I drive home, and it can be hard not to stop in for a pint some days. The new taproom aims to have up to 15 different beers on tap. Every Friday afternoon, there is a Firkin of something interesting tapped, and one of the beers always rotates through the Nitro tap. In the last weeks, a Beer Engine was installed, and the Mild was being served on it - absolutely wonderful. Sometimes, on special occasions, they’ll pull out a Randall and serve something through it after filling the Randall with hops or fruit. All the staff are great, knowledgeable, and clearly enjoy their work. It has been a pleasure watching this brewery get started and grow, and I know I’ll enjoy it for many years to come.

New taproom is bigger than any taproom. Bar, indoor and outdoor table seating. No food but free water and popcorn and a book of food menus from places that will deliver. Easier to just call and walk over to pick up your food I think. 9-12 beers on tap, variable quality, some poor, some okay. Cheap growler fills. Nice place but Aurora sucks.

Stopped in here today and met up with Kevin and mj- quite a large bar area, with ample seating both inside and outside - the waitress service is a nice touch - for such a large place, it’s surprising that they don’t sell food, but that’s no big deal - an interesting mix of customers, ranging from young professionals, to the barely employable - very busy on a Friday night, but not unmanageable - the limited staff did a great job of taking care of everyone as fast as they could - I was way too tired to tick tonight, so I didn’t even attempt to rate any of the beers - most were unimpressive, aside from the vanilla porter, but since they just moved to a new facility, I will give them the benefit of the doubt and give them another shot in the near future - overall a nice spot.

I visited Dry Dock on a Friday afternoon. The place was pretty full, but not out of control. Over 14 beers were available, most of which sounded interesting to me. The four I tried were all great beers. Service was knowledgeable and efficient. It was about a 15 minute drive from Denver, not too bad. I considered it more than worth my time. A homebrew shop is attached to the tasting room, pretty convenient. When I go back to Denver, I plan on returning.

Made a special trip over to Aurora to visit. Unfortunately the homebrew shop was closed but we got to experience the very small, very unlikely, really good brewpub in the strip mall. Steve certainly knows his beers - there were eight on tap with two of the medal-winners not available when I was there. Defintely worth seeking out.

I had an hour to kill before a happy hour meeting and typed in brew to the GPS. This place popped up, so I gave it a try. Was surprised to find a homebrew shop when I followed the directions, but wait, there is a bar in back! There bar has maybe 8-10 spots at the bar and 3 or 4 other tables in the place. It was 3:30 in the afternoon, but there were already 12-14 people there enjoying pints. The beer is really good (had IPA and ESB - there were probably 7 more I didn’t have time for), and the customers really know their beer. This is a nice hidden gem, but is pretty far out of the way of other Denver beer spots. If you are anywhere near here, you should give it a try.

Nice small bar attached to a homebrew shop. Very well lit, a plus in my opinion The service is fast, courteous and friendly. The Beer selection was excellent with 8 choices on average. Good beers friendly knowledgable service well worth checking out!

Out of the way kind of brewery in a shopping center attached to a homebrew shop, Brew Hut. The brewer was generous and knowledgeable. Smallish place with a popcorn machine in the back for patrons. Had 9 brews on tap. Has kegs and growlers to go as well as souvenir items. I was pleased to see him use proper glassware for the tripel.

Definitely a weirder place. Small room with a bar located in a strip mall (I passed this a 1/2 dozen times during the week and never would have guessed it was here). Very friendly workers and clientel. 10 beers on tap including a Tripel, RIS and Saison (nice selection).

This is a tasting room of sorts, in the same place the beer itself is brewed. Small room but it is neat. Not supposed to be a pub, just a place to go to get the freshest of the Dry Dock brews. The Kevin’s are very nice and like to chat about what they are working on next etc... The beer is great and the company is too.

This is my new favorite place to get a good beer after work. Only some popcorn available to soak up the suds but you can bring some pretzels or what not in. Special event make way for some catering though and they open up into the home brewing area for more leg room. One video game if you get the itch for that.
