In this article, we’ll share what you can expect from Oakwell Beer Spa, how the experience works, and which Avery Brewing Company beers you can try during your spa day at Oakwell.

Fun Facts About Avery Brewing Company

Before we dive into which beers you can enjoy at Oakwell Beer Spa this January, let’s look at a few fun facts about Avery Brewing Company.

• The brewery started when Founder Adam Avery was experiencing a “quarter-life crisis.” As a law school student and home brewer, he knew his passion was beer. With the help of Adam’s father, Larry, Avery Brewing Company opened in 1993 and has been making awesome beer ever since. 
• The brewery started in a small garage in Boulder. When they outgrew that space, they opened another. They eventually outgrew two more spaces and finally opened their current brewing facility and restaurant in 2015.
• The brewery now has ample space for innovation with better quality control and the ability to lower its carbon and water footprint.
• The Avery Taproom and Restaurant has more than 30 taps of year-round beers and rotating seasonal taps. The food menu is locally sourced and changes to reflect seasonal fare. There’s ample indoor seating, and the patio is also the perfect space for fresh air and pets.
• Avery Brewing Company has many award-winning beers, including the White Rascal, which has won three Great American Beer Festival medals and one World Beer Cup. The White Rascal is also their best-seller nationwide, with Avery IPA being a close second.
• The Avery IPA is also head brewer Chris Cote’s favorite beer. He loves the piney, resinous notes and says, “It’s a classic style done very well and has a lot of history with Avery. It was the first bottled IPA in Colorado and is an earmark of our consistent quality.” Make sure you try this one at Oakwell Beer Spa this January!

January’s Brews at Oakwell Beer Spa

Whether you like simple, easy-drinking, or hoppy beers, there’s something for everyone this January at Oakwell Beer Spa. We have some of Avery Brewing Company’s best beers, including a Gold Lager, Belgian Wit, Fruited Tart Ale, and a couple of IPAs.

Stampede

Gold Lager, 4.5% ABV

The Stampede is a simple yet elegant beer that almost everyone enjoys. It’s an easy-drinking, crisp, clean lager that pairs perfectly with a relaxing spa day.

White Rascal

Belgian Wit, 5.7% ABV

The White Rascal is reminiscent of a tasty European beer from the 1500s. It has coriander and orange peel for a delicious flavor. The White Rascal is so good it’s won two gold medals–one at the World Beer Cup and another at the Great American Beer Festival.

Electric Sunshine

Fruited Tart Ale, 5% ABV

If you enjoy fruit and fun beers, the Electric Sunshine is a must-try! It’s brewed with kiwi, pineapple, papaya, and huckleberry. The fruit was added to a blonde ale with citric acid to make it pop. The Electric Sunshine is the perfect blend of sweet and tart for a delicious flavor.

Avery IPA

Classic IPA, 6.5% ABV

The Avery IPA is a classic and Colorado’s first-ever packaged IPA. It’s a balanced IPA with a malty backbone highlighting the hops without letting them overpower the beer. It’s easy to enjoy one or a couple of these while relaxing at the spa.

Nomadic Dreamer

Hazy IPA, 6.7% ABV

Sip on the Nomadic Dreamer for a fun spa day. This Hazy IPA is part of Avery Brewing Company’s “Hop Freaks Exploration” series. It’s deeply hazy with notes of orange and mango and a tranquil hop finish. 

January’s Beer Bath Blend at Oakwell Beer Spa

Oakwell Beer Spa’s signature spa treatment is the Beer Bath Hydrotherapy. You’ll relax in a warm, bubbly beer bath in a cedar hydrotherapy tub. The bath has thousands of tiny soothing bubbles and a therapeutic beer bath blend.

This month, the bath blend is made with Trident hops and Rahr 2-Row Malt used to make Avery Brewing Company’s Clear Horizon IPA. The bath blend also has Neem Leaf, which is packed with antioxidants and Vitamin E to nourish your skin from head to toe.

FAQ

Whether it’s your first time at Oakwell Beer Spa or want to learn more, we’ll answer common questions about the experience.

Can I really drink beer during my spa treatments?

Absolutely! Oakwell Beer Spa combines delicious beers and other tasty beverages with unique spa services for a relaxing experience unlike any other. 

You can drink in the taproom before and after your spa treatments and in your Private Beer Therapy Room™. The only place we ask you not to take your beverage is the Relaxation Lounge, where you can enjoy the Zero Gravity Massage experience. 

What spa services does Oakwell offer?

Oakwell Beer Spa is unlike any other spa. Instead of traditional manicures, pedicures, and facials, we offer unique treatments, including Beer Bath Hydrotherapy, Infrared Sauna, and Zero Gravity Massage. 

Services are usually for two people, but we also offer group packages for larger parties.

How does the self-serve beer wall work?

The self-serve beer wall is an easy way to enjoy beer at your leisure. When you arrive, a receptionist will walk you through the process with these simple steps:

1. Use your scan card given by the receptionist to unlock the taps on the wall.
2. Check out the rotating selection of Avery Brewing Company beers and other beverages, including wine and cider. There are also beer tasting notes and the price per ounce for each beverage.
3. Select your drink, scan your card, and pour as much or as little as you’d like.
4. When you’re ready to check out, take your card to the receptionist to pay for the ounces you poured.

Can I just stop by for a beer without a spa treatment?

Of course! We love for guests to visit and hang out in the taproom. There’s plenty of comfortable seating for you to come and enjoy a drink or a few.

Does Oakwell Beer Spa have anything else to drink besides beer?

We understand beer isn’t everyone’s thing, or sometimes you’re up for something else. That’s why we also serve wine, cider, tea, and kombucha.

Can I hang out in the taproom before and after my treatments?

Please do. The taproom is available for you to spend time in for as long or as little as you’d like. It’s the ideal space for relaxing or socializing.
