Maryland`s distilling roots run deep. Prior to Prohibition, Maryland proudly produced what was widely regarded to be the nation`s finest whiskey, a distinct style called Maryland Rye. During the 13 years of Prohibition, Maryland`s enterprising farmers continued to turn their plentiful harvests into high-proof “swamp lightning” in stills hidden among the coves, inlets, and marshes of the Chesapeake, and oystermen and crabbers smuggled the “good stuff” up and down the Bay, evading Federal Revenue agents and the Coast Guard and finding safe haven among the close-lipped communities that lined the tidewater. But rarely did they face harassment from local authorities. Maryland, the only state never to enact a Prohibition enforcement law, was known as the “wettest state” during Prohibition. It was during this time that Maryland figures such as Governor Albert Ritchie and author and Baltimore Sunpapers columnist H.L. Mencken rose to national fame for their vehement opposition to what they viewed as an egregious overreach of Federal authority, and rumrunners like Pete “King James” Kelly rose to infamy. At Blackwater Distilling, founded in 2008 and Maryland`s first fully-licensed beverage alcohol distillery since 1972, we celebrate this brash, enterprising, and fiercely independent spirit by crafting distinctive spirits that stand apart from the crowd, using organic and local ingredients when possible.
The new Avery Brewing Co. facility is based in beautiful Boulder, CO with state-of-the-art equipment thoughtfully designed for innovation. With fierce independence, our brewery has been committed to producing eccentric ales and lagers that defy styles and categories since 1993.The story of Avery began 23 years ago with a 7bbl brewhouse and a very thirsty homebrewer facing a quarter-life crisis. Today, Avery is 200+ employees strong, with a highly-rated Restaurant, a projected 65,000 bbls in 2016, and beer distribution in 35 states and growing. After a huge expansion in 2015 and the build out of a third Cellar under construction now, the sky`s the limit for Avery Brewing Company. We are looking for Hop Freaks as passionate and adventurous as we are to help us continue breaking trail on the journey towards perfect beer.
