Avery Barrel-Aged Beer Tasting Event

Enjoy six Barrel-Aged beers from Avery Brewing Co of Boulder. Andy Parker, the man in charge of all-things-barrel at Avery Brewing Co will be presenting the beers and answering questions from our small group of just less than thirty people. Think of this as part tasting, part classroom, part social gathering. Educational, delicious, and fun. If you like Barrel-Aged Beer and learning something about them, this is an event for you.

These beers will not be available to the general public.

Plus, you will get to take home a sweet lil' Avery Brewing Co. Keeper Glass-- it's one of the good ones.

Bottles opened for this flight include: Brabant (a Brett beer), Depuceleus (a brett beer with fruit), Dihos (a lactic-forward sour), Odio (a lactic-forward sour with fruit, Immitis (a lactic/acetic sour) and Oud Floris (a blended sour with lactic and acetic.) You're simply not going to see these beers together elsewhere.

All six beers in this tasting are one-off projects. Every one of them is from Avery's series of beers that are designed to never make any of them again! There are simply too many other great experiments to run and beers to make. In the case of something like Oud Floris, Brewmaster Andy Parker says, "I couldn't make it again if I tried... that was a one-time blend of four different projects from 3 different years."

In fact, Avery themselves are down to less than eight cases of any of these!

This is a rare chance to sit down and parse out the flavors of wild and sour beers. There are a lot of misunderstandings about what kinds of microorganisms are making different flavors, and here is a chance to sit down with six different beers and their different characteristics. When is the last chance you were able to sit down with 6 different world class Cabernets and talk about them with the winemaker?

This event will be on the brand new back patio of Tiger! Tiger! from 5-7pm.
