Over sixty breweries will be pouring at the event, including Italy's Ca’ del Brado, Brazil's Japas Cervejaria and local favorites like Our Mutual Friend and WeldWerks.
“There’s been some reflection going on — it’s been thirty years since Dad and I opened the doors,” says Avery Brewing founder Adam Avery. According to him, there was no better way to celebrate than by gathering some of the brewery’s best friends to throw a party. The celebration, an invitational beer fest, will take place at the brewery from 1 to 4 p.m. on Saturday, July 29.
During the event, the brewery will also release a special beer called 30."The concept was [using] an amalgamation of different ingredients that have been important to us throughout the course of thirty years of doing business,” Avery says. The beer uses malts like Special B, which play an important role in Avery’s legendary high-alcohol, gold foil-topped beers, as well as hops like Simcoe, which is used in Maharaja, and Columbus, which is used in Hog Heaven. The strong ale was aged in Stranahan’s whiskey barrels and saw a light dry hop. “The idea was to have equal parts of all these components,” says Avery. “You’ll smell and taste the malts, hops and barrel. There will be a noticeable heat component.
30 will clock in somewhere around 15 percent ABV, around the typical range that Avery’s stronger beers usually land in.Additionally, the festival will include some special vintage beers from Avery's cellar, like Rumpkin, Tweak and Uncle Jacob’s, along with beers from over sixty breweries that were chosen by the staff. Continuing with that theme, staff members' ideas were used to create three event-only beers for the fest: a schwarzbier, a rice lager and a cherry-coconut IPA.
Avery says he stole the idea for the invitational “fair and square” from Firestone Walker, which throws its own Invitational every year and will be in attendance at this one. “Rachael [Burrell] coordinates our events, and I think she throws the best beer festival in the country,” says Avery.The following is a list of beers that some of the participants will be bringing to the festival, with descriptions written by the breweries.
