Description: Each year the AHA finds two or three recipes to highlight for Big Brew. Then hundreds of homebrewers register their Big Brew locations (see Site Registration) for a communal brew-in to celebrate National Homebrew Day. They invite family and friends, or hang posters and flyers around town to advertise their brewing site. Then on the first Saturday in May (May 1, 2010) everyone congregates at the brewing site early enough to join in a collective toast at noon Central time and get on with the brewing. If you would like to find a Big Brew site in your area, you can view the Registered Sites. If there isn't a site in your area, and you are a brewer, please consider signing up to host a site.

Foamers will gather at Rock Bottom South. There will be water and electricity provided along with some space on the patio to brew. It doesn't matter if you are all-grain or extract, come on out and let's brew some beer!

Rick has generously offered to supply you with as much Wyeast 1728 for the day, which should work nicely for the Scottish Export 80 Shilling recipe.

Description: The beer has spoken, and she is ready to be sipped and savored! After a year spent in zinfandel wine barrels in our barrel-aging cellars, Depuceleuse has matured and is primed to be bottled.

Join us on Friday, April 2nd at the Avery Tap Room to celebrate the limited release of this sour cherry masterpiece! A 100% brettanomyces fermentation gives this brew lots 'o funk throughout, intertwined with pungent elements of sour cherries, delicate aromas of aged wood and a gentle spice thanks to the zinfandel barrels.

Adventurous and true to the spirit of our Barrel-Aged Series of one-and-done brews, Depuceleuse is a forceful departure from the mindset of traditional beer style and features a harmony of intriguing flavors.

Seductive to the core, she lies patiently in the bottle awaiting the day to deflower virgins of the flavors of that wonderful wild yeast, brettanomyces!

Those who attend the release tasting will have the opportunity to purchase up to six bottles of Depuceleuse ($8.00 per 12oz. bottle) and sample up to 22 other Avery brews flowing from the taps. Similar to past releases in the Barrel-Aged Series, limited quantities of Depuceleuse will be released in Colorado and select states across the country in the weeks following the release tasting.
