Avery Brewing, Boulder, CO

After almost three weeks on the road, we made it to Avery, hoping for
some monster beers. Unfortunately, no big beers were on tap besides
Hog Heaven, but we got to try some that we'd never seen in Seattle
including the 15th anniversary and a couple others.

The highlight was the tour. Phil was the most technically
knowledgeable guide we've had to date and he even showed us the barrel
aging room where a few great beers are coming down the line, hopefully
later this year. We can't wait for these!

After the tour, they tapped Black Sabbath, which was one of the
brewers' home-brewed stout with cocoa nibs. It was on par with Out of
Bounds Stout and perhaps the best beer we had on the day.

After that, we stopped at Chipotle for our first big meal since
Malibu, and then back to the hotel in Longmont for another night of
rest. After not watching tv in weeks, our eyes were immediately glued
to Talladega Nights for the evening. "Shake and bake!"
