Dry Dock Brewing

we had a surprise engagement party here and all went very well. great space for friends to mingle while enjoying good beer! we also loved the food truck that was there that night.

We've been going there since, well, before it was trendy (Way back in the early 2000's). They have always taken brewing seriously...and it shows!

Dry Dock is always a solid beer option, especially if you like sours. I've had several of their beers before but never been to their brewery. I enjoyed the laid back atmosphere, friendly staff, and nice outdoor patio! They also have decent snack options!

Dry Dock Brewery is located in an unassuming building in Aurora. Not only do they have a ton of seating, they have a classroom dedicated to teaching how to make beer plus a beer and wine supply store next door, all accessible through the pub. While I personally think the pub itself needs a make over, you don't really go for the atmosphere, it's the drinks! Not only is the beer creative and delish but the cocktails or Docktails are amazing! The strawberry basil is my favorite. I like that you can purchase canned beer and docktails including making your own 6 pack. They do not serve food inside however there are rotating food trucks outside, see website for schedule (Cousins Maine Lobster on the day we went).

Dry dock has a very spacious interior that is set up well to handle both groups and couples. There isn't a ton of bar seating so it skews a little more towards bringing people than going solo and meeting people. The beer-tenders were super friendly and able at answer questions and recommendations about their brew selections which was great. The beer selection here is great! A lot of breweries center in on a type of beer they are really good at and don't have a lot of selection outside of that. But Dry Dock has a brew for almost every beer preference. It is a bit pricey in relation to other breweries, but not unreasonable.

Swung by Dry Dock while in Aurora and happy we did. Upon arriving, noticed they had a food truck out front and a lot of people enjoying themselves inside. We walked up to the bar and asked for a flight - they informed us they didn't do flights. We ended up just both getting a full pour of beers we wanted and sounded good. The bartender was friendly, seemed a little irritated, but served us promptly. We closed out and had a seat at a little two top table since the place was packed. The beer was ok, I liked that they had a beer classroom with classes you could sign up for. I thought that was really interesting and something I'd never seen before!

Unlikely spot for an amazing brewery. We came into town for a wedding and the couple hosted a welcome party here and when we pulled up we were surprised by the strip mall location. However! Once you're inside you forget where you are because the ambience and beer are so amazing. I would host a party here, too. We tried many beers, loved many beers. The highlights of my visit are the lime infused lager, the key lime pie beer, and the apricot blonde- not to be confused with the apricot sour (still good) but the blonde- wow! Tastes just like the fruit. Somehow, with the key lime pie beer I could taste every component of the pie- filling, crust and cream. Good job dry dock!

Flavor bomb! If you're looking for something different than the main stream, this place is it! If a pina colada had a baby with an IPA .. you'd have a delicious pineapple milkshake IPA!! My second drink was a ginger lime seltzer, also super delicious! This place has tons of seating. The bartender was helpful and friendly. Our table was cleared off periodically (which was a good thing for the five of us!). I've never been to a brewery with as many flavor profiles as Dry Dock.

Favorite local brewery. Staff is friendly and the beers are always delicious. Trivia Wednesday and bingo on Thursday are our typical times to visit.

I hosted a customer event here in the semi private room, where we all got a lesson on bring beer and enjoyed delicious barbecue and enjoyed a great afternoon together. Everyone is extremely helpful experts, friendly, and went above and beyond to make our experience perfect.
