Currently talking over the dry-hopping methodology and final hop schedule for Dugana IPA. How can you make something that is nearly perfect even better? How do you make a killer hop aroma just a little more interesting? A little more intense? Brewing beer is the coolest thing ever!

Dugana is our new IPA that will release in the next month or two. Long time coming, but we're stoked to be releasing it soon (Mostly because that means we'll get to drink it on tap each evening after work)!!

Currently mashing Old Jubilation Ale in the mash tun. FIVE different delectable specialty malts in this brew. This is seriously one of the best smelling mashes in the world!

Dugana IPA. We can't wait for this beer to release. Here's the new label (pending Fed approval of course).

Brad Queen, Avery fan and mountaineer extraordinaire sent us this photograph of him cracking open a bottle of Maharaja IPA on Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. We're stoked for Brad's accomplishment, but we can't really figure out why he went all the way to Africa to do it? It's just that Maharaja tastes so good right here stateside. Ya know? Thanks for the pic Brad!

Bottling 2009 Beast Grand Cru today! Unofficial release party tomorrow night (8/12) at 5 PM at the Avery Tap Room. Be there to taste!
