Avery Spontanea Joining Barrel Aged Series

Number 24 in Avery Brewing’s Barrel Aged Series is Spontanea, an American wild ale.

Spontanea is brewed with Cabernet Sauvignon grape must and aged in Cabernet Savignon wine barrels. An interesting fact about Spontanea, is that no extra yeast was added to the beer. The yeast and bacteria naturally occurring on the grape must did all fermentation.

We gave our yeast a vacation, The critters on the skins of the grapes did all the work on this beauty! Completely spontaneous fermentation!

Avery Barrel Aged Series #22

Avery Brewing’s (Boulder, CO) Barrel Aged Series rolls on with the 22nd addition, 5 Monks.

This edition is described as bigger and bolder than a quad, a sextuple of sorts. To sound less profane they went another way with the description. This bigger than life quadrupel is brewed with turbinado sugar and dark Belgian candi sugar and aged in bourbon barrels.

So yeah, it’s MUCH bigger and bolder than a quad. But the term “sextuple” seems inappropriate alongside a congregation of monks – so quintupel it is!

Avery 5 Monks will be released in 12oz bottles in June, 2014.

Style: Belgian Strong Dark Ale (w/ Turbinado Sugar, Candi Sugar. Barrel Aged. Bourbon)
Availability: 12oz Bottles
Arrival: June, 2014 (Tentative)
