Avery Vanilla Bean Stout, aged in bourbon barrels launches year-round
Avery Vanilla Bean Stout, is the newest addition to the Boulder, Colorado brewery’s year-round lineup.
If the name alone doesn’t have you salivating, here’s the rundown. Base beer is an imperial stout, brewed with whole vanilla beans, aged in bourbon barrels. The best part – you’ll have access to this beer whenever your want it.
A double dose of vanilla derived from both fresh Bourbon barrels and the trio of Tongan, Ugandan, and Mexican whole vanilla beans is complemented by the essences of chocolate, caramel and molasses to round out this luxurious silky stout.
Avery Vanilla Bean Stout is a draft, and 22 ounce bottle offering year-round. The beer starts shipping for the first time mid-December. (Distro below)

Avery Pump[KY]n, Batch 2, returns November 8th

Avery Pump[KY}n, Batch 2, returns to the brewery’s lineup on November 8, 2015.
Avery’s Barrel Aged Series is damn near legendary, featuring sours alongside bourbon imperial stouts. Avery PumKYn, a compliment to the the slightly boozier Avery Rumpkin, is a Kentucky bourbon barrel aged porter with a smattering of fall spices. The 2015 edition’s alcohol by volume is 15%.
What’s in a name? Sometimes the simplest can be the most descriptive, and in this case, derisive and divisive! After much internal debate (ad nauseum! Bourb[KY]n, anyone?), we decided a single letter change was the best way to embody the bourbon barrel-aging that adds layers of complexity to an already exquisitely spiced pumpkin porter.
Avery PumKYn will be available in 12oz bottles and draft at the brewery on the 8th, limited distribution found below.
Style: Porter (w/ Nutmeg, Cinnamon, Allspice, Clove, Pumpkin. Barrel Aged. Bourbon.)
Availability: 12oz Bottles
