Avery Brewery



Avery Brewing is located in Boulder, CO in a small shopping center. The brewery itself is quite small compared to other breweries in Colorado (i.e. Coors in Golden, Co). However, Avery just stepped up in scale from a microbrewery to a craft brewer. They have quite good distribution for such a small brewery, and you've most likely seen their beer in your local liquor store if you've ever browsed the beer section. Their most popular beers are Ellie's Brown Ale, their IPA, and the White Rascal which is a beer brewed with orange and coriander, much like the more well known Blue Moon beer. Avery churns out some of the most complex and flavorful beers in America. Their menu offers about 15 beers at any given point. I happened to try about 10 of them the day of the tour. Tours are free, and beers are reasonably priced in their taproom at about $4 a pint, and if you pay an extra $1 during the tour, they'll give you a glass to take home with you. If you happen to find yourself in the Denver/Boulder are of CO. I'd highly recommend looking this place up. They won me over with their interesting beer and witty Scottish tour-guide.
All of their beers i tasted were quite flavorful and I wasn't disappointed with any of them. I'd recommend the dry hopped IPA and the salvation to start off with, but like i said, they're all quite tasty.
