Avery Brewing Victim of Beer Theft

According to local news sources, Avery Brewing Co. lost 570 bottles worth of rare beers over the course of the past 8 months with a value of approximately $15,000 due to theft. Avery employee Adam Dickinson is accused of stealing said beers, selling them on eBay, and even giving some to his new boss as a gift.

The majority of the bottles were rare releases and limited edition brews. “It blew us all away mostly because it is a very tight knit community. Around here we call each other family. We haven’t seen anything like that before,”Avery assistant Tap Room manager Matty Lambuth says. The suspect is currently being held on $5000 bail.

Sorry Minnesota. Avery Has To Go (For a While)

Avery Brewing drinkers in Minnesota, grab what Avery Brewing bottles might be left on your shelves. Avery will be leaving soon. As the brewery works on their new location, the brewery finds it can’t keep up with the demand in all they current territories.

Until we finish our new brewery, we’re forced to limit our markets.  When we do come back to Minnesota, and we will, it will be with quality rep support, tons of fresh beer and even more tons of excitement to be drinking with those guys again.” 

Don’t worry. Avery plans on returning as soon as they can.

The Next Avery Barrel Aged: Odio Equum

Avery Odio Equum

Avery Brewing’s Barrel Aged Series will soon find a new member – Odio Equum. Number 13 in the series, Odio Equum sour ale is brewed with raspberries and aged in wine barrels. Odio Equum translates to “Despite the horse”, perhaps a backhanded reference to “horse blanket” flavors that brettanomyces yeast can give to beer.

Such a strong and ugly word, but unfortunately true. Our vintner friend just doesn’t appreciate the depth and character of the aromas and flavors that Brettanomyces creates like we do. Like you do. But hte dude has some seriously fine Cabernet Sauvignon barrels that he shared with us to help create this wonderous sour ale. Our lucky #13 in this series. Aged for 12 months in Cabernet Sauvignon barrels.

Style: American Wild Ale (w/ Raspberries, Wine Barrel Aged)
Availability: 12 oz bottles. 465 cases produced
Arrival: To be bottled in September, 2012

7.89% ABV

Avery’s The Beast Rises Again August 1st

Avery’s The Beast returns on August 1st.  The best is a Belgian strong dark ale, that typically clocks in around 16%. The Beast is a part of the brewery’s “Demons of Ale” series, and is brewed with dates, molasses, dark candi sugar, honey, raisins and turbinado sugar.

The Beast is a seducer — accomodating, complicated, powerful, dark and created to last the ages. With a deep burgundy color and aromas of honey, nutmeg, mandarin orange and pineapple, this massive and challenging brew has flavors akin to a beautiful Carribean rum. Dates, plums, raisins and molasses are dominant in a rich vinous texture. Cellarable for 10+ years.

Style: Belgian Strong Dark (w/ Dates, Molasses, Dark Belgian Candi Sugar, Colorado Honey, Raisins, Turbinado Sugar)
Availability: 12 oz bottles, Limited Draft
Arrival (2012): August 1

16+% ABV
