History

Dry Dock Brewing Company was created in October of 2005 when Kevin DeLange, owner of The Brew Hut homebrew shop, decided that his homebrew store would benefit from an attached brewery[2]. With the help of homebrewer Kevin Kellogg, the two opened Dry Dock Brewing Company. After almost 4 years in a small unit adjacent to The Brew Hut, Dry Dock expanded to the end unit in the same strip mall, both increasing the tasting room area from 30 seats to over 80 and upgrading to a 7 barrel steam jacketed brew system[3]. Dry Dock quickly outgrew its expansion, with another expansion planned.[1]

Bottled Beers

Farmhouse Ale Saison

Dry Dock has bottled three different beers to date: Immolator Doppelbock, Farmhouse Ale Saison and Seven Seas Double IPA. Immolator Doppelbock was bottled in December 2009 with limited release. Farmhouse Ale Saison was bottled in the Spring of 2010, also limited in its release. After purchasing a 6-head bottler, Dry Dock began bottling their Seven Seas Double IPA for release in the greater Denver area.

Future bottled beers include U-Boat Hefeweizen and Urca Vanilla Porter.

Pumpkin Ale Firkin

Firkin Friday

Each and every Friday, Dry Dock taps a special one-off firkin, a cask-conditioned version of one of their available beers. Occasionally, the beers are conditioned with odd items such as wasabi and rice[5].

In 2010, Dry Dock served their Kölsch from a watermelon and their Half Moon Pumpkin Ale through a locally-grown 208 lb pumpkin.
