"spike in production and award for "Small Brewing Company of the Year" in 2009 at GABF are pushing its reputation on the Denver beer market. Located on the outskirts of northeast Denver, Dry Dock’s taproom with 180 seats and 16 taps make this little startup competitive with downtown’s most popular brewpubs. Must Try: The Dry Dock Hefeweizen is a dry, light-bodied wheat beer with hints of clove, banana and lemon."

"Dry Dock Brewing’s South Dock location is one of our favorite places to spend an afternoon. Not only is it absolutely huge, packed full of rustic tables perfect for spending time with friends, a comfortable couch area, and a brewing school, but they also happen to feature a lovely outdoor patio. Covered and usually located in proximity to a delicious food truck, Dry Dock’s patio is the place to be this summer."

"Dry Dock is technically located in Aurora, but since Aurora is considered a Denver suburb, we’re including it. And Dry Dock is such an essential Colorado brewery, it would be a shame not to. Like many breweries in the state, it started with some homebrewers who wanted to turn their side hustle into a full-time business."

"Since the day this jaw-dropping, awe-inspiring shrine to Japanese cuisine opened in 1985 in Platt Park, diners have waxed poetic, often waiting for hours on the sidewalk to snag a coveted seat in the stunningly appointed space.

If you can score stools at the sushi bar, you’ll get dinner and spectacular knife skill theatrics."

"Pearl St. With 4.5 stars out of 1,776 reviews on Yelp, the sushi bar, bar and Japanese spot has proved to be a local favorite."
