Description
Temporarily closed. Working on opening new Denver location
Before a ship sails, it begins in the dry dock—a place of precision, craft, and care, where vessels are built or restored before touching open water. This spirit of creation and transformation inspired the founding of Dry Dock Brewing Company.
Just like ships in a dry dock, our beers are carefully crafted before launching into the world.
Dry Dock Brewing Company opened in 2005 as Aurora’s first craft brewery, born from the community surrounding its sister company, The Brew Hut.
Back in 1995, co-founders Kevin DeLange and Michelle Reding launched The Brew Hut to serve homebrewers. A decade later, they expanded their passion by cutting a hole in the wall and converting the neighboring space into a 7-barrel brewery and tasting room. Dry Dock was created to share their experimental brews with the local community.
Just months after opening, Dry Dock took home a Gold medal at the World Beer Cup for its Amber Ale—marking the start of a long list of accolades. Today, the brewery is recognized as one of Colorado’s most awarded, with 28 Great American Beer Festival medals and 8 World Beer Cup awards.
