Avery Brewing Co

The new Avery Brewing Co. facility is based in beautiful Boulder, CO with state-of-the-art equipment thoughtfully designed for innovation. With fierce independence, our brewery has been committed to producing eccentric ales and lagers that defy styles and categories since 1993. The story of Avery began 28 years ago with a 7bbl brewhouse and a very thirsty homebrewer facing a quarter-life crisis. Today, Avery is 140 employees strong, with a highly-rated Restaurant, a projected 60,000 bbls in 2022, and beer distribution in 35 states and growing. After a huge expansion in 2015 and the build out of a third Cellar under construction now, the sky's the limit for Avery Brewing Company. We are looking for Hop Freaks as passionate and adventurous as we are to help us continue breaking trail on the journey towards perfect beer.
