1. Avery Brewing Company: Journey of a Colorado Dream

There are beautiful stories that often start from a pure love. And so it is with Avery Brewing Company's journey, which began in the small kitchen where Adam Avery immersed in home-brewed beer. In September 1993, in the idyllic Boulder, Colorado, that dream officially took off with the full name “Avery Brewing Company”. It was not a dry business plan, but a promise from the heart: to create bold, distinctive beers that dared to challenge all the stereotypes of American beer flavors at that time.

That journey was witnessed by milestone filled with emotion. In 1993, the world first tasted Adam's first three brainchildren: Avery Ellie's Brown Ale, Avery Redpoint Amber Ale, and Avery Out of Bounds Stout. Then the passionate car just kept moving forward. By 2011, the name Avery Maharaja sounded like a legend, a powerful Imperial IPA, helping Avery firmly position itself in the hearts of craft beer enthusiasts. And then, the big turning point in 2017, when Adam decided to transfer the majority of shares to Mahou San Miguel. But that was not a goodbye, but a way for that Colorado dream to go further, with Adam still at the helm, keeping the whole creative soul for the brand.
