ABOUT US
Opening its doors in 2005, Dry Dock Brewing Company was the first craft brewery in Aurora. It was the result of the community that came out of a homebrew shop and sister company, The Brew Hut.
It all started in 1995, with the opening of The Brew Hut. Co-owners Kevin DeLange and Michelle Reding expanded the tiny homebrew shop’s “experimental” homebrew batches, by cutting a hole in the wall into the recently vacated space and converted it into a 900 square foot microbrewery right next door! Dry Dock Brewing Co. was born as seven BBL brewery and tasting room for their homebrew customers to enjoy.
Within months of being open, Dry Dock Brewing won their first beer competition medal at the World Beer Cup with its Gold winner Amber Ale. Dry Dock quickly became known as an awarding winning brewery across Colorado, leading to another expansion of the brewery.
In 2013, Dry Dock nearly quadrupled its production numbers, jumping from 3,200 barrels to 12,000 barrels in just one year. With the increased demand in craft beer, came the purchase of a 30,000-square-foot production facility, and second brewery tasting room, known as North Dock. This allowed Dry Dock to expand and brew more than 20,000 barrels of beer a year and distribute across the entire state of Colorado.
In 2020, Dry Dock Brewing added a line of Colorado hard seltzers to their fleet under the Mysters brand. Crafted with simple ingredients, Mysters Hard Seltzer offers four thirst quenching, low calorie, low carb, sugar-free, and gluten-free spiked seltzer flavors. Available exclusively in Colorado, try all four Mysters Hard Seltzers: Sour Raspberry, Pineapple Coconut, Ginger Lime, and Apricot.
In addition to North Dock’s twelve tap tasting room, the Canoe Room, there is an 18 hole disc golf course on the property for customers to enjoy.
Since Kevin and Michelle started this adventure, Dry Dock Brewing Co. has brought home several local and international awards for a variety of beer that has been on tap. To date, they have 27 GABF medals and 8 World Beer Cup awards.
