I am the Maharaja, the king of all Imperial IPAs. My name comes from the Sanskrit words 'mahat' meaning "great" and 'rajan' meaning "king". And just like my namesake, I am mighty, regal, and powerful. I am adorned with a deranged amount of tangy, vibrant, and intense hops, balanced perfectly with a rich and exquisite malt essence that gives me my dark amber hue.
Citrusy hops and caramel toffee malts are my loyal servants, and I rule over them with a heavy hand. Don't be fooled by my unassuming drinkability, for I am a potent beer, fit for only the most discerning of palates.
My kingdom is vast and grand, and I welcome you to enter it with open arms. So come, take a sip, and bow down to the greatness that is the Maharaja.

Founded in September 1993, Avery Brewing Co is the culmination of several years of homebrewing experimentation.

The story of Avery begins with a 7 barrel brewhouse and a very thirsty homebrewer facing a quarter-life crisis. Today, Avery is 160 employees strong, with a highly-rated bar, award-winning beers, a sustainable brewing program, and has the sky as their limit.
