In anticipation of the record crowd, this year the brewery brewed the most Avocado Honey Ale in its 11-year history, four 15.5 barrel batches or 1,900 gallons from which they will bottle 2,800 bottles. “In so many ways the Avocado Honey Ale truly represents a connection from consumer to the natural world quite literally in our back yard. Aside from the malted barley, hops, yeast and water, there is the honey which represents a staggering amount of work from the bees side of the equation. It requires 10,000 worker bees to gather a single pound of honey and the combined mileage of these bees is the equivalent of flying more than twice around the world. The average life of a honey bee is about six weeks and over two million flowers have to be tapped to make a pound of honey. It’s something to think about the next time you lift a pint to your lips.”
