Tim Evon is now at the helm of South Dock, Dry Dock’s original location on East Hampden​ ​Avenue, and Alan Simons is running the ship at North Dock, Dry Dock’s production brewhouse and facility​ ​on I-70 and Tower Road.

Tim Evon started homebrewing in Utah, where he worked at The Beer Nut homebrew supply shop in Sal​t ​Lake City before joining the brewing team at Bohemian Brewery. He received the Master Brewer​ ​Certification from the World Brewing Academy through Siebel Institute of Technology, and finally landed in​ ​Colorado as a brewer at Dry Dock in 2012.
