duganA IPA Release Party

After two years of experimentation, numerous test batches and countless tasting sessions, Avery Brewing Company is proud to announce the release of our much anticipated duganA IPA. Brutally bitter, dank, piney and resinous, this 8.5% abv monster offers a mystical and divine hop experience with 93 IBUs of hop goodness.

In the summer of 2007, as fervent devotees of hops and preachers of the profound art of the IPA, we found ourselves in the pleasant dilemma of wanting an IPA to drink that was somewhere in between Avery IPA and The Maharaja Imperial IPA. Enlightened, a test batch commenced immediately, and our two-year quest to create a truly transcendental hop experience was born.

"duganA IPA stemmed from our need for a more sessionable version of The Maharaja Imperial IPA. We wanted to capture the huge hop flavor of Maharaja and package it in a form that could be drank with more regularity," said Adam Avery, President and Brewmaster of Avery Brewing. He added, "We're just beer lovers who can't stop ourselves from making new beers. Quest is a bit cliche, but yes, that's the only way to describe it: a maniacal quest for hop perfection."

This quest comes to a most fruitful finale on Friday, October 2nd, when the first pints of duganA IPA will be served at the duganA IPA Release Party at the Avery Tap Room in Boulder from 4-7 PM. $15 gets you three pours of duganA (or other Avery brews!), light food and a belly dance demonstration courtesy of the Hamsa Studio, all in reverence to the Goddess of the Ganges River, who graces the label of this dank new brew.
