Avery Brewing Company

Avery Brewing Company is a regional brewery located in Boulder, Colorado, founded in 1993. The brewery produces year round beers as well as seasonal beers, some of which have received praise from brewing competitions and festivals such as White Rascal Belgian-Style White Ale at the 2015 Great American Beer Festival.[1] In 2017, Spain-based Mahou-San Miguel Group acquired a 30% stake in Avery.[2] In 2019, Avery sold another 40% stake to Mahou-San Miguel Group and Founders Brewing Company.[3]

History
Avery Brewing Company's new brewery opened in February 2015 in Boulder, Colorado.

Adam Avery, president and head brewmaster of the brewery, incorporated the company in 1993 when craft breweries were just starting to increase in popularity among mainstream beer drinkers. In its first years, the brewery utilized only a seven barrel tank to ferment its beers, causing production to be relatively small. In the years since, the brewery has expanded and produced 50,000 barrels of beer in 2015.[4] This volume of beer has allowed Avery beers to become increasingly available throughout Colorado, and the rest of the United States as well. As a result of capacity constraints, Avery Brewing left 18 markets in the United States in 2010 and 2011.[5] Once the new Nautilus Court facility in Boulder went online, Avery began to re-enter those markets as of 2015 and 2016. In 2015, the brewery closed the doors of its original brewery and opened their new $30 million, 67,000 sq. ft. brewery, nearly doubling their brewing capacity and providing space for a potential expansion to 500,000 barrels per year.[6]

In November 2017, Avery announced that Mahou-San Miguel had purchased a 30% minority stake in the business. This makes Avery no longer a craft brewery, since the Brewers Association requires that craft breweries not be more than 25% owned by a macro-brewery.[2]

Beer

Since the brewery's founding in 1993, Avery has vastly increased the number and varieties of its beers for the growing market of craft beer drinkers. Avery's beers vary greatly in style from Avery IPA to White Rascal Belgian-Style White Ale to Raspberry Sour to Rumpkin, a 15-18% ABV spiced pumpkin beer aged in rum barrels.
