Joe’s Pilsner is truly one of my favorite beers.  It is light and has a nice breadiness to it, with a good crisp slightly hoppy finish.  It is a great brew any time of the year and the fact that is is sold in cans makes it a total win win for me.  I’ve sung […]

One of the benefits of getting older is you that you can be a closed-minded cranky a-hole and people just accept it.  There’s even a word for it – “crotchety.” I’m now on the other side of 40, and my nagging back injury has worn me down and made me feel old, tired, and well…a […]

Finally a Pilsner I can get behind!  Avery Joe’s Pilsner was Avery Brewings first foray into canning beer.  It was their first release in cans about a year ago.  I talked about it here.  Well it finally made its way to Idaho (only took a year)!  As soon as I saw it I picked a […]

The last few weekends in my household have been, to put it mildly, eventful.  We had a wedding of my Son last weekend, wedding prep the weekend before, the weekend before that we were in Coeur d’Alene running all over the place, and on and on.  This weekend I want to be bored! I want […]

This is a picture of the new grain silo at Avery Brewing in Boulder, Colorado.  I LOVE how BIG it is!  Looks like there will be plenty of Maharaja coming from that baby!  They are also taking delivery of four new tanks this month, so the Avery Warehouse should stay full for the foreseeable future, although it […]

Avery Brewing makes it official!  After announcing back in January that they were going to be developing a canning line, their first brew is being canned today.  Joe’s Premium American Pilsner is Avery Brewing’s first beer in a can.  But it won’t be the last.  Take a look at their can warehouse! …

Well the folks at Avery have gone and done it again.  They have taken the flavors of the summer and bottled it for us all to get a taste.  I know what you are saying, how can you taste a season, and I agree it is difficult to explain, but I will try my best. […]

I was reminded this weekend of how important it is to take time to just let everything go and truly relax.  I had an Avery Maharaja Imperial IPA and was transported to a place of quiet, peace, and tranquility.   It truly was an enlightened state.  See 4th of July weekend in my house is […]

Man there was a lot going on in this beer!  It was perhaps one of the most interesting brews I have ever drank, and that perhaps isn’t saying too much, because I’m still relatively new to this whole beer review thing.  For example my Brother Jim has swilled down many more pints in his day […]

What kind of brew would name themselves after the devil?  That is what I had to ask myself when I decided to pick up and Avery Brewing Mephistopheles Stout.  I mean after all you might just loose many of your potential customers just based on the name alone, then I opened my bottle last night […]
