Out of Bounds Stout is brewed by the Avery Brewing Company - Boulder, CO
Avery's Out of Bounds Stout is a big, roasty stout takes flavor to the
extreme. Avery is not afraid to use plenty of rich roasted barley and a
mountain of hops to give this full-bodied stout that little extra something
you've been looking for in a beer. This stout goes great with hamburgers,
steaks, shepherd's pie and other hearty endeavors.
Beer Review by Beer Advocate
1/2 cm tan head off a pretty vigorous pour. Head diminished but laced slightly.
Pitch black with only a slight red highlight. Smells super nutty sweet mocha
chocolate (like one of those peanut butter cookies with the chocolate kiss on
top). Tastes just as good (again one of those cookies comes to mind, but this
time washed down with some roasty coffee). Sweetness hangs on almost to the end
but at the last minute it quickly turns to the proper dryness for the style. A
nice chewy mouthfeel without being overly heavy. I was getting pretty tired of
stouts in general because some offering seem a bit watery while others can be
chokingly heavy. This perfect body and balance between sweet and dry of this
offering has changed my mind.
Avery Brewing Company
Incorporated in September 1993, Avery Brewing Company is the culmination of
several years of homebrewing experimentation by Adam Avery, President & /Brewmaster,
to perfect the recipes for Redpoint Amber Ale, Ellie's Brown Ale, and Out of
Bounds Stout. Production and sale of these three flagship beers began utilizing
a 7 barrel brewhouse and 7 barrel Gundy tanks as fermenters and bright tanks.
Out of Bounds Stout won a gold medal in 1994 in the category of dry stouts at
the largest beer tasting event in North America, the Great American Beer
Festival, held annually in Denver.
In 1995, as production increased, the 7 bbl Gundy tanks were replaced with four
30 bbl tanks and the DE filter size was increased. A Meheen bottling machine was
added along with a labeling machine for our 22 oz. bottles. In June, 14'er ESB
(Extra Special Bitter) was created. 14'er ESB is named for the 54 Colorado peaks
that rise above 14,000 feet in elevation.
Six-packs became available in 1996 with the purchase of a Meheen 12 oz. bottling
machine. Also, the first batch of Avery IPA (India Pale Ale) was brewed. Sales
of Avery IPA have grown to the point that it has replaced Ellie's Brown as our
best selling beer. Hopheads Unite!
Three 80 bbl unitanks were added in 1997. The size of the brewery was doubled,
from 2,500 sq. ft. to 5,000 sq. ft. Old Jubilation Ale, an English Strong Ale,
was released as our holiday seasonal in October 1997.

Steadily increasing sales, necessitated the replacement of our 7 bbl brewhouse
with a 40 bbl JV Northwest brewhouse in 2000. The Reverend, a Belgian-style
Quadrupel Ale, was ordained in December 2000. An 80 bbl unitank was added in
2002, allowing us to produce 4,000 bbl/yr. Salvation Belgian Golden Ale was
introduced in late 2002, andJanuary 2003 saw the coronation of The Czar Russian
Imperial Stout. If the initial reviews on ratebeer.com are any indication, he'll
be in power for many years!
Two 120 bbl unitanks were installed in September, 2003, which doubles our
capacity to 8,000 bbl/yr. Our 10th Anniversary Ale, which is an Imperial IPA
named Ten, was brewed in the summer. An authentic (Curaçao orange peel and
coriander!) Belgian Wheat, aka White, called White Rascal, was added to our year
round line-up as well.
That's when things got CRAZY around Avery Brewing Company. Not only in terms of
expansion, but also in regard to the types of brews flowing forth from our taps.
With our Barrel-Aging Program in its second year of operation in 2004, we
debuted the "Crucified" series at the Avery Tap Room. We took The Holy Trinity
of Ales, put them in wine barrels and soured 'em up over a years time. Brewer's
are still talking about Salvation Crucified and The Reverend Crucified five
years later! The Maharaja Imperial IPA, which is now one of our best selling
brews and a veritable cult-classic amongst hopheads, debuted in March '04 with
HUGE hop flavors, a whopping 102 IBUs and 10.5% abv. The Maharaja is still
consistently rated as one of the best beers in world on sites such a
Ratebeer.com and Beeradvocate.com.
2009 began with the release of 694 cases of the first installment in our
Barrel-Aged Series: Brabant is a Barrel-Aged Wild Ale, fermented with
brettanomyces and aged for 9 months in Zinfandel wine barrels. We released 100
cases of No. 2 in the Barrel-Aged series, Sui Generis, in September 2009 from
the Avery Tap Room, followed shortly thereafter by the third installment, Black
Tot on January 15th, 2010. The former is a Barrel-Aged Sour Ale and the latter a
Rum Barrel-Aged Stout. Depuceleuse, No. 4 in our Barrel-Aged Series, is a
barrel-aged wild ale featuring sour cherries and a 100% brettanomyces
fermentation! Released on April 2nd, 2010, Depuceleuse proved to be one of the
most sought after beers in this rare series. Depuceleuse was followed by
Quinquepartite in September of 2010. Latin for "consisting of five parts",
Quinquepartite is a Barrel-Aged Sour Ale blended from five different oak
barrels.
