Mission Brewery Competitors

Lagunitas beers are available in 20-ish countries and growing. And whether supporting local communities by turning beer into money for the cause, or simply fueling stories and songs with IPA and other fine ales, we’ve learned one thing (aside from how to cook a turkey)…Wherever you go: beer speaks, people mumble.

What started in 1996 as a small group of home brewers who simply wanted to make great beer evolved into the team of adventurers known today as Ballast Point. From bringing a hoppy twist to a porter, or adding four types of malt to its amber ale, to creating a breakthrough gold-medal winning IPA, the San Diego-based company is known for adding its own touch and asking if there’s a better way. Not satisfied with just brewing great beer, they got into the distilling business to see if they could add our own spin to another centuries-old craft. Today an internationally recognized leader in the craft brewing and spirits industry, the company makes over 50 styles of beer and bottles 14 spirits.

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 28 years ago with a 7bbl brewhouse and a very thirsty homebrewer facing a quarter-life crisis. Today, Avery is 140 employees strong, with a highly-rated Restaurant, a projected 60,000 bbls in 2022, 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.
