    In terms of cask beer, absolutely. Dry Dock doesn't really even do cask beer, although their SS Minnow Mild is godlike on normal CO2. Dry Dock is more of an American-style brewpub, while Pint's and Hogshead are focused on English cask beers.
    Pint's is authentic almost to a fault. Because they don't do a ton of volume and their casks don't hold up more than a few days, there's a strong chance that some of your beers there will be old and rough. I'm not 100% sure, but I think all of their house beers are cask-only.
    Hogshead is the better of the two, IMO. They're very technical and their beers are very, very tasty. I've never had a single off-note in anything they do. They do a 50/50 mix of CO2 vs. cask, so you have options. A lot of people know Prost in Denver, but Hogshead is kind of like their English brother. I'd legitimately put them in my top 3 breweries in Denver list.
