This past Wednesday, Avery Brewing released the second beer in their Barrel Aged Series, Sui Generis, as a brewery only release. Only 150 cases of the sour ale were produced and the combination of a rare beer from Avery and thousands of crazed beer nuts in the area for the GABF meant it sold out quickly. I wasn't able to get up there until Friday and there were barely any left by then. Luckily for those of you who missed out on the initial sale, Adam Avery has decided to pull a few extra cases out of his cellar and make them available this Friday!
The additional cases will go on sale at 4:00pm during the release party for their new duganA IPA for $8 per 12 oz bottle with a 6 bottle maximum per customer. Be sure to stick around and try the duganA IPA while you're there. It's the result of two years of experimentation and they're calling it a "transcendental hop experience".
A complex ale, aged and artfully blended from several types of oak barrels, Sui Generis displays a delightful lactic sourness complimented by hints of brett, oak, and acetic. Intricate yet bold, Sui Generis was crafted in the tradition of perennial Tap Room favorites De Vogelbekdieren and Voltron, and drawn from a most unique group of oak barrels: it is a blend of ales from 39% Cabernet Sauvignon barrels, 35% Chardonnay barrels, 13% Port barrels and 13% Bourbon barrels.
