We're Double Dank Brewing Supply

Double Dank was a dumb name I found on my beer name list after I thought (or was it a sinking feeling?), "how hard could it be to open a homebrew store?"

Well here I am with a garage-based operation in Dakota Ridge, Colorado - far west Denver suburbs - shipping nationally, or internationally by request, with local, discounted pickups. No store hours. Pickup by appointment only.

Really is inspired by the small homebrew stores that closed - my favorite places to go. I even used to work at one and eventually ate all the grains between customers, which is truly a great way to learn about different malts. It's not that homebrewing is dead. It's alive and well. The demand just shifted online, mostly to larger outfits. Even folks that live near a physical homebrew store prefer to order and ship online.

That market shift left a gap or at least six in the process. Here's some of what this store is trying to do:

• Custom weighed grain orders milled the day of shipping or pickup with date labels
• Improve ingredient transparency and traceability
• Recipes built around classic style guidelines (BJCP) with modern renditions - incorporating grounding sensory tools
• Practical and sensory-first ingredient guidance
• Thoughtful sourcing invested in beer's future
• Build optionality to swap base grains and flavor/aroma profiles on recipes

I'm Jeff Bart - garage operation founder. I've homebrewed in America and Ghana as a Peace Corps Volunteer. I worked at a homebrew store that's gone now, did operational roles at Denver craft breweries, and Aging & Lagering at the Coors Brewery in Golden. I'm a Recognized BJCP judge and studied craft brewing at Regis University. The Beer Hunter is one of my favorite TV shows. So of course I created a homebrew store geared around classic recipes and getting the fundamentals right.
