Act 71: Entertaining out-of-town guests

Written By Fredrick Reed

If you drink beer, they will come. That’s how the saying goes, right? Kevin and Ryan, of Dry Dock Brewing, were in town this week and Nigel and Nick decided it was time to extend a little KC beer hospitality. While sharing (many) beers at Transparent Brewing, they discussed Kevin’s entry into ownership of the Aurora, Colorado brewery and brewery supply store after deciding he didn’t need no stinking bosses anymore, and their ever-evolving love of craft beer. Dry Dock recently expanded its distribution into Kansas and the company is looking for further expansion over the next few years.

Pre-show Drinkers and Mystery Beers consumed: Bligh’s Barleywine Ale, Dry Dock Brewing; Bodies, Basketballs & Big Wheels, Diametric/Vine Stret/Vanessa House Collab; Apricot Blonde, Dry Dock Brewing; Stone in Love; Gotahold Brewing; Blood Orange Blonde, Dry Dock Brewing; Yuppies in Blazers, Grains & Taps; En Voyage bourbon barrel aged imperial stout, The Big Friendly; Beer Karma oatmeal stout, Transparent Brewing (with a little help from Nigel and Nick); and Lighthouses Rule, Transparent Brewing.
