Avery IPA is a pioneering beer that forever changed Colorado’s brewing landscape. First packaged in 1996, this trailblazing IPA introduced drinkers to bold hop character at a time when the style was still a rarity in craft brewing. Today, Avery IPA continues to shine with a balance of citrusy brightness, piney resin, and malted depth that defines it as a true Colorado classic.

Sensory Description:

This IPA radiates with crisp floral aromatics, juicy citrus, and resinous pine, all layered over a malty backbone that offers subtle caramel sweetness. The palate is bright and hop-forward, finishing dry to keep each sip refreshing. Its pine-and-citrus combination carries a nostalgic nod to the early IPA era, while its layered complexity keeps it thoroughly modern.

Brewer's Background:

Avery Brewing Co., founded in 1993 in Boulder, Colorado, has built its reputation on bold flavors and fearless innovation. Adam Avery’s decision to release an IPA in 1996 was a risk that helped shape Colorado’s craft beer culture. Nearly three decades later, Avery remains a leader, producing a wide range of beloved beers, including White Rascal, an acclaimed Belgian-Style White Ale, an evolving lineup of hop-driven IPAs, and an innovative barrel-aged program. With over 28 years of brewing experience, Avery continues to push boundaries while honoring its roots.

Serving Suggestions:

Best enjoyed at 45–50 °F to highlight its citrus and resinous hop character. Avery IPA pairs beautifully with rich, savory dishes. Try it alongside a fried chicken sandwich with bacon and cheese, where the hops cut through the fat and brighten every bite. It’s equally at home with spicy wings, burgers, or grilled vegetables.

Avery IPA is more than just a beer; it’s a milestone in Colorado brewing history and a testament to the pioneering spirit of Avery Brewing Co. Crisp, floral, resinous, and perfectly balanced, it remains a timeless IPA that continues to delight both longtime fans and new hop enthusiasts.
