Avery Gets Brewery Expansion Green Light

Good news for Avery Brewing.  The city of Boulder and the Boulder Planning Board has green lighted the $27 million, 95,922 square foot project.   Ground breaking could be as early as August 2012.

Some of the concern regarding the expansion was because the potential construction site bordered Boulder Country Day School.  The expansion would bring increased truck traffic, and alcohol consumption close to the school
