My Last Pint #31 – Walt Chleva of Dry Dock Brewing
Walt Chleva is an assistant brewer at Dry Dock Brewing. Dry Dock is one of the smallest breweries in Colorado and the only craft brewery in Aurora, Co.
MLP: What would be the last pint of your life?
WC: An aged English Barleywine. Big, rich, malty and complex, this is my favorite style. A good amount of hop bitterness in the background, but the maltiness is cat’s pajamas for me.
.
What would be the setting for your last pint?
It would be atop Kuli’ou’ou Ridge outside Honolulu, Hawaii. I took a hike up there a few years back and found it one of the most beautiful places I’ve even been.
What would you eat with your last pint?
Macaroni and cheese of course! I am fairly certain that macaroni and cheese can be paired with any beer.
.
With whom would you drink your last pint?
I would drink it with my wife and two dogs. My wife has always been there and supported me through everything life’s thrown at me….and the dogs LOVE Barleywines. What good is having a great beer if you can’t share, right?
.
Thanks Walt!

.
What would be the setting for your last pint?
I’d like to think that it would be somewhere in Scotland, maybe on the Isle of Mull, but the truth is I’d rather be sitting on the deck at my parents’ house in the Adirondacks, where I grew up, surrounded by woods.
What would you eat with your last pint?
Haggis. With neeps and tatties.
.
With whom would you drink your last pint?
My parents, my brothers and sisters, and my wife.
