Podcasts about avery brewing co

In this Brewbound Podcast interview, Ray Latif sat down with Ron Nelson, VP of Sales at Arryved, to discuss how the Boulder-based technology company is revolutionizing the craft beverage industry with its brewery-first approach to POS systems and now, funding. Originally founded out of Avery Brewing Co., Arryved was created to solve a challenge that many breweries still face today: finding a point-of-sale solution specifically designed for the unique operations of a taproom or production brewery. Arryved's dedication to the craft community doesn't stop at software. With the launch of Arryved Capital, the company is now helping breweries scale faster by providing access to quick, flexible funding. Whether it's a new tank, an expansion, or more barrels in production, Nelson says the process is fast and intuitive—because the Arryved team already understands the revenue model and rhythms of the businesses they serve.

The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2021/09/binary-system-podcast-280-board-games-lovecraft-country-star-wars-and-lore-olympus/ If you know us you know that we're always interested in the newest movies and TV shows that have hit the nerd world! We just wait six months or more to watch them. Which is why Elizabeth only just now got around to watching the first episode of Lovecraft Country, and instead of watching current movies she's rewatching Rise of Skywalker. And she doesn't even LIKE Rise of Skywalker. Kathryn at least is doing better, in that she and her friends played a subscription game that's much newer: Hunt a Killer: Blair Witch. https://www.huntakiller.com/horror So we talk about that and collaborative puzzle games and how there's no shame in being the team member who's bad at puzzles and just takes notes instead. And of course we wrap up with Lore Olympus, which is back after a two-week hiatus and dear lord the wait to find out what happens to Daphne is going to kill us. Also: GET BENT, APOLLO, GOD. The outro music this week is a clip from Radiant Gift by Nolan Čapek. The Avery Brewing Co. beer that Elizabeth and Wade tried was Liliko'i Kepolo. https://www.averybrewing.com/beers/liliko-i-kepolo Update: Elizabeth's friends in New Orleans are without power and AC, but their house is still standing and they're safe from floodwaters and alligators. Correction: while Lovecraft Country does technically take place after World War 2, it's in the 1950s and the main character just got back from the Korean War. And Lovecraft Country is available with a premium subscriptions to Hulu, Prime, YouTube, and HBO Max. The link to our most recent fan art gallery is here, it's got a little bit of everything this time. https://pixelatedgeek.com/2021/08/binary-system-fan-art-gallery-beastars-transformers-lore-olympus-and-more/ Looking for a present for that hard-to-shop-for person?

We sample 4 awesome sour beers and have great times! Enjoy!

Today’s episode is one of those where just a couple weeks difference in when we actually sat down with each other would have dramatically transformed the focus of the conversation. For anyone who’s been paying attention to Avery, you certainly know it’s been a couple years of transformation for the brewery, as they took on a minority investment of Mahou San Miguel, completely reconfigured their portfolio to better align with market trends, and launched a visual re-brand. Of course, all these changes involved some personel movement, as their COO left in May and a half dozen folks were laid off. Before that, the prior COO had left to join Ska brewing. So it’s safe to say that since the Mahou San Miguel deal, there’s been a lot going on at Avery. And my guests today, Andy Parker, their CHIEF BARREL HERDER, and Colin Quinn, their special projects brewers are in a unique position to talk about how that effected the most important part of Avery’s operation - the brewing. Which beers should Avery be making, for which markets? in what formats? how simple can a portfolio in 2018 be? how critical is newness? and what are they gonna do with all that capacity after a major expansion? Well, what we didn’t know at the time of this interview was that Founders Brewing based in Grand Rapids Michigan, would need some help brewing All Day IPA, a brand that continues to set the pace for growth in craft. Like Avery, Founders is partially owned by Mahou San Miguel, so what could have been a major albatross for Avery, all that extra capacity, debt, and a slow transformation back to growth became a chance to support the larger system of brands under the family banner, and both benefit from the opportunity. It’s bizarre for Avery fans to consider, but Mahou San Miguel and brewing All Day IPA might just be the difference between having or not having an Avery Brewing Company at all. So what will they do with that bonus time afforded by those relationships? Time will tell. But in this interview, you’ll hear about the shift in the brewing side, how the team is regrouping and what they’re excited about in Avery’s brewing future.

***Stick around until the end of the show to hear our latest What's on Tap segment and what beer we're drinking today! Check out the Twenty Three Anniversary beer by Avery Brewing Co. in Boulder, Colorado here.*** The last time we talked about trade was back in April, right about the time China had started to threaten new taxes on imported American products. That, of course, was a response to our own new taxes imposed on imported steel and aluminum. A lot has happened since April, including a planned replacement for the North American Free Trade Agreement, and a new Democratic majority in the House of Representatives may change the trajectory of trade policy even further. Here to help us unpack the current state of trade policy in the US and abroad, and maybe even make some predictions about where it could be headed in the future, we're pleased to welcome our two experts:  Dan Griswold is the co-director of the Mercatus Center's trade and immigration portfolio, author of the book Mad About Trade: Why Main Street America Should Embrace Globalization, and, most importantly, a repeat guest here on the Download Pierre Lemieux is a senior affiliated scholar here at Mercatus. He’s a frequent university lecturer in Canada, and recently published the book What’s Wrong with Protectionism, a response to common objections to free trade Interested in learning more about Dan and Pierre's work on trade?

We’re mixing it up this episode. While we figure out what our next arc is going to be, we decided to read a random single issue from the current Avengers run.

This week's brew is Avery Brewing Co. "Bug Zapper", a Sour from Colorado.   A "Pew Pew Audio" Podcast.

Chris Banich was the Mid-Atlantic Sales Manager for Avery Brewing Co. in Boulder, Co. He comes by to talk about what it's like to represent a single beer brand, and what happens when a brewery needs to downsize. He also suggests some excellent breweries to check out in the DC area.

The bros were back with an ample amount of BS for episode 81! In this episode we discuss Intel’s augmented reality glasses, a Brazilian drug trafficker who’s being called a modern day Robin Hood, another round of BS or not and some interesting information on saran wrap.You better believe we tried some good beer. This week we tried delicious brews from Cigar City and their collaboration with Jameson Irish Whiskey, Civil Society, Avery Brewing Co. and Odd Breed Wild Ales. Plus like always we played a few rounds of "Would You Rather" and "What Burns Your Bacon."

Erin Sullivan – better known as Erin Outdoors – is a writer, photographer, trip leader, lifestyle coach, speaker, and a total boss on Instagram! In this episode, Erin shares her story that took her from being a trip leader in the northeastern U.S. and abroad, to becoming an influential, adventurous lifestyle blogger and a “gateway drug for personal development.” She gives us some great lessons in taking risks and “living deliberately,” mixed in with some personal tales of travel, growth, and yes, rambunctious evenings involving banana costumes and beer! Speaking of beer, Avery Brewing Co. in Boulder, CO is our setting for this episode, where the flight of brews in front of us provided many tasty talking points as well.

Body Count's in the house! As promised, Eric, Evan and Dan review the latest release from Ice-T's metal outfit, Body Count. Bloodlust is the band's heaviest offering to date, though at times Ice-T goes a little too off the rails (just like this podcast), and the hip-hop legend inspires a grammatical debate on the correctness of the term "bustin' a nut" and Dan then attempts to start an Internet rumor involving The Wallflowers' '90s hit single, "One Headlight." For the beard portion of the podcast, Dan and Eric review three scents from Black Tie Beard Oil -- Royale Black, Autumn Night and Polar Ice -- and use an odd jean-based rating system to do so. Evan and Eric then give their review of Hog Heaven Imperial Red IPA from Avery Brewing Co. and Dan drinks an IPA. Keep your eyes out for the upcoming Buzzfeed article, "10 Facts You Didn't Know About Jakob Dylan" and let the #oneheadlight rumors begin. #onenutlistener

SOUR POWER HAPPY HOUR. Episode 34 features the Biddies' first-ever on-air sour beer review and dives into the surprising history of the puckery potation. Comedian and self-described beer snob Grant Lyon stops by the studio to crack open a cold one. Thanks for drinking!    

Season 3, Episode 32 – This week, we’re drinking a brewer’s dozen of pilsner and ranking them, like you do. Another 4B Showdown coming at you, this time it’s the Pilsner Showdown 2.0. You might be asking yourself – what happened to the pilsner showdown 1.0? Well we might be asking you to mind your own god damned business. We might also be overcompensating for the fact that we recorded an entire 16 beer showdown that we got so mixed up on which beer number we were on that it ended up incomprehensible. So we did it again. We did it bigger. We did it better. We did it stronger. 16 beers? Not for our fans. We did 24 god damned beers. In a row. And we ranked them. Not in a row. Appropriately for their deliciousness. Or, skunkiness.  The Pilsner Showdown On that note, we need to preface this by saying that some of the beers in our showdown obviously suffered from age and packaging woes. While we wish this wasn’t the case, it’s also the realistic experience of buying these beers on the shelf. So get your shit together, breweries with green bottles. Especially if you don’t put dates on your bottles.  #24 Warsteiner – Warsteiner Premium Verum / German Pilsener Average Score: 36.00 Warsteiner – Warsteiner Premium Verum / German Pilsener Of all the German beers in the mix, Warsteiner fared the worst. In fact, it fared the worst of the whole showdown. The nose immediately put everyone off. Gym sock, fusel….none of the aroma notes have won anyone over. Drinking it, we were equally nonplussed. Flavor notes included such illustrious comments as “potting soil”. Being the off flavor patient zero for a funk we’d never experienced before led to incredibly low marks, putting Warsteiner Pils in last place.  #23 Plzeňský Prazdroj – Pilsner Urquell Average Score: 48.00 Plzeňský Prazdroj – Pilsner Urquell A reference pilsner entered the showdown, and thankfully wasn’t in a green bottle. We thought it looked great, like a bar of GOLD!! Smelling it, we caught diacytel. While that’s to style when it’s “restrained” we thought it was not restrained at all and it really put us off the beer. Matt successfully nailed it and called the beer, but the off flavors put the whole group off enough to rank it one of the lowest in the showdown.  #22 Trumer – Trumer Pils Average Score: 54.50 Trumer – Trumer Pils Trumer Pils is a heavy hitter in CA, but failed to impress us with a chill haze and a lack of head retention. At the aroma section of the review, Jason was taken aback by the skunky aroma. As a group we’ve had this beer and enjoyed it before (including in Pilsner show 1.0) but ultimately the skunky conditions did it in. This beer was probably a victim of being in a green bottle.  #21 North Coast Brewing Company – Scrimshaw Pilsner Average Score: 60.00 North Coast Brewing Company – Scrimshaw Pilsner An old school stalwart of the California craft beer scene enters the fray. This one had great clarity, but not great head retention. The color was dark – we thought it might be one of the Czech beers because it was so dark. The nose let out notes of dog, and leather – not what we wanted out of a pilsner. Tasting it, we got ATHP, mousiness, and John thought it wasn’t even a pilsner at all. While we thought the beer was OK, the off flavors and lack of pilsner characteristics led us to call it a non-buy and put it near the bottom of the field.  #20 Speakeasy Ales & Lagers – Pop Gun Pilsner Average Score: 61.75 Speakeasy Ales & Lagers – Pop Gun Pilsner A newcomer to the pils scene, Speakeasy out of San Francisco has recently started canning their Pop Gun Pils. The beer had a nice head, but the appearance was best described as “dishwater”. The nose divided the group – Jason got soap, Greg got diacytel, and John thought it smelled pretty good! But drinking it we all caught on off flavor we didn’t like. The mouthfeel was off, the bitterness was muted, the malt character was too high and overall we didn’t find it to be a great pils.  #19 Pivovary Staropramen – Staropramen Premium / Ležák Average Score: 62.00 Pivovary Staropramen – Staropramen Premium In a showdown of similar beers, Staropramen makes itself known. It’s noticably darker and maltier than the rest, bordering on a Vienna Lager or a Marzen. While we mostly liked the beer, it’s breaking from the pilsner style combined with being sort of ho hum and not hitting the main pilsner notes, led us to give it lower marks than some of the competition in this style showdown.  #18 Budějovický Budvar – Budweiser Budvar B:ORIGINAL / Czechvar B:ORIGINAL Average Score: 63.25 Budějovický Budvar – Budweiser Budvar B:ORIGINAL / Czechvar B:ORIGINAL The famous Czechvar, which is the “real” Budweiser that you can only get in the Czech Republic! This one impressed with clarity, but had a thin head that didn’t linger. The nose could only described as “That sweet skunky stuff” which cost the beer points. Drinking it, it had remnants of a good beer but faltered under massive levels of skunk. Another victim of the green bottle curse.  #17 König Brauerei – König Pilsener Average Score: 64.25 König Brauerei – König Pilsener Narrowly edging out the Czechvar is König Pilsner. König impressed with clarity, but the head and retention left a bit to be desired. There was something funky in the nose – Jason says skunk and Matt says DMS, but we all agree it’s not ideal. It drank well, but the off aroma and some wonkiness in the flavor department led it to low marks overall.  #16 Bitburger Braugruppe – Bitburger Premium Pils / Premium Beer Average Score: 69.00 Bitburger Braugruppe – Bitburger Premium Pils / Premium Beer In the Pils Showdown 1.0, Bitburger actually beat the whole field of 16. This pour wowed the group with it’s chandelier-like clarity, but the nose threw Greg off, who caught notes of DMS and old milk. Jason thought it was clean but a bit bland. John caught a weird taste to it. We all declared this Bitburger can as middle of the road or worse, and it finished a bit below the middle of the field.  #15 Krombacher Gruppe – Krombacher Pils Average Score: 73.75 Krombacher Gruppe – Krombacher Pils Krombacher wowed with it’s clarity. The nose, however gave off seaweed and umami notes. When we drank it, it didn’t really wow us in any way at all. We thought it lacked some of the hop presence that makes a true pilsner, and even compared it more towards and American light lager than the normal pilsner profile we expect. While this beer was clean overall, we didn’t find enough of the pilsner characteristics we were expecting to propel it to greatness.  #14 Avery Brewing Co. – Joe’s Premium American Pilsner Average Score: 74.50 Avery Brewing Co. – Joe’s Premium American Pilsner A whopping .75 points ahead of Krombacher is Avery with Joe’s Pils. While certainly our most Mafia looking can, this beer immediately threw everyone off with how many chunky floaties where flowing around in it. We spent a while trying to figure out why this beer looked more like a lava lamp than a pils. We thought it was citrusy, and got a big American hop presence out of it. We enjoyed it, but thought it was more along the lines of a pale ale or a session lager. Matt thought it had a pilsnery malt profile, but overall the group thought it was out of style pretty significantly and it hurt it in the overall rankings.  #13 Lagunitas Brewing Company – Pils Average Score: 75.50 Lagunitas Brewing Company – Pils An oft overlooked shelf beer in CA, this one came out and impressed the gang with it’s clarity and the memory foam mesa hanging out on the top. The aroma left a bit for us to be desired, but had a good solid hop presence on the back that salvaged the lack of aroma. All around a good beer but it lost points for being too bitter.  #12 Saint Archer Brewing Company – Hoppy Pilsner Average Score: 79.25 Saint Archer Brewing Company – Hoppy Pilsner Jumping ahead of Lagunitas by several points, Saint Archer’s Hoppy Pilsner (formerly Girl Skateboard Pilsner). This one came out so cloudy that we were wiping the glass to make sure it wasn’t just fogged up. The aroma had different things to everyone….citrus to Jason and Matt, sulfery farts to Greg. Jason didn’t like the lemony flavor, but John enjoyed the biscuity cracker malt character. We liked it overall, but it lost points on appearance and ended squarely middle of the pack.  TIED FOR #10 Crux Fermentation Project – Crux Pilz Average Score: 83.25 Crux Fermentation Project – Crux Pilz Crux obviously didn’t place a high priority on the appearance of the beer, invoking thoughts of an unfiltered Kellerbeir moreso than a pils. We caught a big American hop presence out of it, but we liked it overall. Greg thought it had a pilsner backbone, but John thought it was very bitter. While we really liked this beer, we thought about how you’d feel if you got that ordering a pilsner and it went down a few pegs. Despite these handicaps, Crux finished in the top half of the field and tied with… TIED FOR #10 Oskar Blues Brewery – Mama’s Little Yella Pils Average Score: 83.25 Oskar Blues Brewery – Mama’s Little Yella Pils Out of the gate, Matt said this beer looked like shit. And he’ll fight anyone who disagrees. The group was split on the nose, some of us finding it muted and some of us liking the nose a lot. On drinking it, we all thought it was a solid example. We liked it overall (especially John) but losing points for appearance and aroma ended up placing Oskar Blues lower than it could have been.  #9 Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. – Nooner Pilsner Average Score: 83.75 Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. – Nooner Pilsner Edging out the #10 tie buy just half a point, the seasonal standby from one of America’s most respected craft breweries. Sierra Nevada has suffered a bit in our past showdowns. Nooner didn’t come in as a world beater, but in this strong field of pilsners, Nooner made a very respectable showing for itself at #9. The nose wasn’t huge, but the flavor had a very clean, grassy note that got solid marks from the group.  #8 Arrogant Brewing (Stone Brewing Co.) – Who You Callin’ Wussie Average Score: 84.50 Arrogant Brewing (Stone Brewing Co.) – Who You Callin’ Wussie Not surprisingly for Stone, the beer impressed for clarity and had nice head retention. Also not surprisingly for Stone, we immediately caught a huge hop profile out of this beer. Overall the group liked this beer quite a bit, and dinged it for being way overhopped for the style. Matt even went farther to say that it was way out of style, and John considered going full Barry Bonds and asterisking it. But our love of this beer propelled it up to #8 despite being handicapped by all of our minuses for being out of style. Leave it to Stone to make a beer so aggressively out of style that it places in the top 1/3 on pure bravado.  #7 Left Hand Brewing Company – Polestar Pilsner Average Score: 86.00 Left Hand Brewing Company – Polestar Pilsner This beer had a good head and solid lacing in the glass. The nose was clean, with small hints of herbs and mint. Jason thought this was a clear LiterDrinken beer. Greg and John rated it the highest, with Nagel wishing the hops were dialed in a bit more. Overall, the 4B crew thought this was a very solid pils and it scored well enough to place it at lucky number 7 and a full point and a half ahead of Stone’s egregiously out of style example.  #6 Pizza Port Brewing Co. – Pick Six Pilsner Average Score: 86.25 Pizza Port Brewing Co. – Pick Six Pilsner Pizza Port makes its first appearance in a 4B showdown. The beer had a nice fluffy head but wasn’t as clear as some of the other more traditional examples. The nose read as fruity and tropical. The group agreed that this one was over the top on American hops, breaking from the mold of what you’d expect on a traditional pilsner. Hophead Jason thought it was a solid example despite (or because of) it’s overuse of American hops and the group in general liked it well enough to propel it near the top of the field and just .25 points higher than the strong showing from Left Hand.  #5 Coronado Brewing Company – Seacoast Pilsner Average Score: 87.00 Coronado Brewing Company – Seacoast Pilsner This was a bit of a wild card in our showdown, suggested by the beer store and thrown in to even the numbers out. Despite this inauspicious beginning, the beer ended up faring very well in this crowded field. The appearance failed to impress – it wasn’t nearly as clear as the other beers, and didn’t have much of a head at all. On the flavor side, this beer finished clean and brought smiles to the faces of all of the gang. It lost points for looks but got really high marks from everyone except Greg in the flavor department. Greg thought it was soft, and safe. Despite his reservations, Coronado jets into the top 5 with a solid pilsner, even if it’s only .75 points ahead of Pizza Port.  #4 Firestone Walker Brewing Company – Pivo Pils Average Score: 90.50 Firestone Walker Brewing Company – Pivo Pils Firestone is a time tested heavy hitter (and often winner) in 4B showdowns. Going in, we all expected Pivo to perform well and it did not disappoint. This beer had all of the visuals we wanted in a pils, and we immediately noticed the big American hop character. Jason thought that it managed to take the American hop flavor but still maintan the essence of a pilsner, while Matt thought it was bordering on an IPL. Ultimately, the beer got high marks, suffering only for not being quite traditional but still wowing all of the 4Bs enough to get a fourth place finish.  #3 Victory Brewing Company – Prima Pils Average Score: 93.25 Victory Brewing Company – Prima Pils Prima Pils was a looker, and despite having had a lot of beer before, we all showed how thirsty we were when we admired this beauty of a pils. Jason’s Darth Vader smells aside, the group thought this beer was exactly where we wanted a pils to be. The words “reference pils” were thrown around liberally. Greg thought it lacked mouthfeel a bit, but overall Prima finished incredibly strong in the field. This beer is often mentioned as a reference for the style (including the BJCP) and it proved it’s providence here with a very high mark.  #2 Sudwerk Brewing Co. – Northern Pilsner Average Score: 96.25 Sudwerk Brewing Co. – Northern Pilsner The last beer we tasted on a long day was certainly not the least. Sudwerk came out with brilliant clarity, and a nice half finger of head retention. On the nose we caught herbal notes and a bit of oyster cracker maltiness. Jason was impressed by how clean and not aggressive the beer was. But most importantly, we all thought it was really damn good. Greg thought it was a little bit too bitter being the only thing keeping it from perfect in his mind. The tiny reservation from Greg perhaps costing it that all important half point, Sudwerk still catapulted to #2 in our field.  #1 Bayerische Staatsbrauerei Weihenstephan – Weihenstephaner Pils Average Score: 96.75 Bayerische Staatsbrauerei Weihenstephan – Weihenstephaner Pils Edging out the #2 beer by only half a point, the world’s oldest brewery comes in with their example of one of the world’s most popular styles. While the head on the beer was pretty mild, this wowed with it’s glowing clarity. The nose also impressed, biscuity, herbal, minty, eucalyptus…and the flavor followed exactly where the nose was leading us. It tasted exactly what we’d expect a pilsner to taste like, and hit all of the right notes expertly. That’s what almost a millenia of experience can do for a brewery! Breaking far ahead of the field of other European pilsners, Weihenstephaner wowed the group (including a perfect 100 from Greg) for the #1 spot!  The Rankings and Scores So many breweries are making pilsner that this showdown can in no way be considered a definitive list, nor is it an end all, be all ranking. We could have a pilsner showdown once a month for a year and still not even scratch the surface of all the available pilsner out there. We encourage you to try this with a group of your friends and some pilsner that’s local to you! We say this after every showdown, but it really is fun, and it’s a great way to learn about a specific style of beer. BREW THE SHIT OUT OF IT.

Season 3, Episode 26 – This week, the Fat Tire & Friends “collabeeration riff pack” and Going In Blind with Nagel. As you may remember, a few weeks ago we sampled the Sierra Nevada collaboration Beer Camp 12-pack. We were marginally dissatisfied with most of the beers. It’s not that the beers outright sucked (there were a couple wins), but they just weren’t noteworthy. This week, we decided to try another collaboration mixer. New Belgium’s take on their collaboration “riff pack” differed from Sierra Nevada’s Beer Camp in that every beer is a take (riff, if you will) on New Belgium’s classic Fat Tire Amber Ale. This should be interesting… New Belgium Collabeeration Riff Pack Fat Tire is a well known beer. Its classic label, depicting red “retro” bicycle, can be spotted from a mile away (well, maybe not a mile…10 feet?). It’s safe to assume that even the most experienced beer geek among us has tasted Fat Tire at least once. Fat Tire is ubiquitous, but it also tends to get overlooked by beer geeks in search of something more, whatever that may be. To celebrate their 25th anniversary, New Belgium called upon their closest beer industry buds to take the classic Fat Tire recipe and mix it up. Maybe change the yeast, add MOAR HOPS, or throw in some apple juice? Rhinegeist, Firestone Walker, Allagash, Avery, and Hopworks all participated in the collaboration. Each beer in the Riff Pack is a unique take on Fat Tire. Did the beers exceed our expectations? Did New Belgium play it safe or did they really try to brew outside the box and make an interesting group of beers? Listen and find out! BREW THE SHIT OUT OF IT.
