AURORA, CO— Dry Dock Brewing Company will release the Double Hazelnut Brown Ale tomorrow. This full-bodied Double Brown Ale was aged in whiskey barrels for 10 months, imparting notes of vanilla and oak. It has added hazelnut, which creates its earthy, nutty complexity and caramel, toffee-forward aroma. It weighs in at 10 percent ABV with 30 IBUs.

Double Hazelnut Brown Ale will tap at Canoe Room at North Dock at 2801 Tower Road, Aurora, 80011 on Thursday, October 1 at 2pm. It will be available on draft and in bombers at North Dock throughout the weekend. Double Hazelnut Brown Ale will then be available at South Dock and in liquor stores across Colorado in mid-October. Less than 200 cases of this beer will be distributed throughout the state. 

Double Hazelnut Brown Ale first debuted in 2014 as part of the Signature Series, a collection of barrel-aged double and imperial beers. It is the third of six Signature Series beers that Dry Dock will release in  2015.

There is a complete beer description with suggested food pairings below. For more information about the Signature Series beers, or with any other media inquiries, contact Emily Hutto at hutto@drydockbrewing.com.
