When Charlie Papazian founded The Great American Beer Festival in 1982, Boulder Beer was happy to brew a special high gravity ale to celebrate the inaugural event. For the silver anniversary of what has become one the world’s premier beer showcases, we’re honored to do it again, and this time brew one of Charlie’s recent favorites that we’re calling 25th Year Beer. With a rich golden hue, this brew has plenty of British Pale Malt for a high original gravity; this ale is then assertively hopped in the kettle for a smooth balanced flavor, with more than a dash of Saaz hops dry-hopped in the fermenter lending it a unique floral aroma. One of the original 22 breweries at the first GABF, we’re been back every year, and are thrilled to raise a glass in celebration of the flavor and diversity of American Craft Beer. Cheers!
