If you’re a brewer and live in Denver, you need to visit Brew Hut / Dry Dock Brewing. Visitors to Denver should also gather here. Since they moved the brewery/homebrew shop from a small dank grotto to a large open facility in July 2009, business has boomed and the experience has increased tenfold. When I shop for my ingredients, I stop first at the bar to get double-fisted with whatever is freshly brewed on-site. Then, I amble over to the Brew Hut side where I can shop and quaff. Two 25ft. rows of grain bins are set up for easy pulls directly onto digital scales - right next to two self-serve automated grain mills. The hops and yeast chillers always have excellent selection despite the hop shortage. Equipment abounds, but isn’t the cheapest. The Staff is great. They are always ready to help and will chat with you extensively if it’s not too busy. If you get on the mailing list, you can get 10 to 15% discounts for the recipe of the month or other purchases. Ambiance rating would be a 5 if it weren’t so loud in there. Other thoughts, the review from January 2007 is obsolete and should be ignored.

This shop is attached to Dry Dock Brewing; the front door is Brew Hut and the back door is the brewery. They had a nice selection and amount of malts, not as much yeast and yet fewer choices of hops. Not much in the way of equipment either. Two different brands of beer kits in addition to wine stuff. Staff was filling in for someone else and did not know too much.
