One of the key factors that set Avery Brewing apart from other craft breweries at the time was their focus on high-gravity beers. These are beers with a high alcohol content, often above 8% ABV, which require a lot of skill and expertise to brew successfully.

One of Avery Brewing's first high-gravity beers was The Maharaja - an India Pale Ale that quickly became a cult favourite among craft beer enthusiasts. The Maharaja - a Sanskrit title for “great king” - asserts his authority over a deranged amount of tangy, vibrant, and intense hops along with an equally insane amount of malted barley. The majestic IPA welcomes you into its kingdom with its dark amber hue and exquisite malt essence!

Since its inception in 1993, Avery Brewing Company has been pushing the boundaries of craft beer, constantly experimenting with new ingredients, flavours, and techniques to create some of the most innovative and delicious beers on the market.

At its core, Avery Brewing Company is a testament to the power of curiosity and passion. From its humble beginnings - featuring a pre-law school teen in a quarter-life crisis - to its status as a pioneering force in craft beer, Avery Brewing is a testament to the boundless possibilities of brewing and the spirit of innovation that drives the craft beer industry forward.
