Adam Avery, president and brewmaster of Avery Brewing, will be at Bruisin’ Ales TODAY from 5-7pm to host a free tasting. Join us and talk beer with him. He’s taking Avery’s slogan, “Small Brewery, Big Beers,” pretty seriously with the beer flight, too. Check it:

Salvation
[Belgian Strong Golden—9.0% abv]
“Salvation has luscious apricot and peach aromas delicately interwoven with spicy suggestions of nutmeg and cinnamon. This heavenly soft, champagne-like elixer is cellarable for 3 years.”

The Reverend
[Belgian Quadruple—10.0% abv]
“…This beer is assertive, and pure of heart, a heart of candy sugar. It contains as many authentic imported Belgian specialty malts as the brewers could cram into our mash tun, and lots of Belgian dark candy sugar stirred into the brew kettle. A divinely complex and beautifully layered beer with hints of dark cherries, currants, and molasses, complimented by an underlying spiciness and a finish that is Sinfully smooth!Cellarable for 4 years.”

Old Jubiliation
[English Strong Ale—8.0% abv]
“Our winter strong ale has a gorgeous mahogany hue, a hint of hazelnuts, and a finish reminiscent of mocha and toffee. No spices, just a perfect blend of five specialty malts. Cellarable for 2 years.”

Hog Heaven
[American Barleywine—9.2% abv]
“This dangerously drinkable garnet beauty is a hop lover’s delight. The intense dry-hop nose and the rich malt body are perfectly balanced for a caramel candy-like finish. This is a serious beer for serious beer afficianados and it only gets better with age. Cellarable for 3 years.”

The Beast
[Belgian Grand Cru—14.9% abv]
“The Beast is a seducer—accomodating, complicated, powerful, dark and created to last the ages. With a deep burgundy color and aromas of honey, nutmeg, mandarin orange and pineapple, this massive and challenging brew has flavors akin to a beautiful Carribean rum. Dates, plums, raisins and molasses are dominant in a rich vinous texture. Cellarable for 10+ years.”
