[Discussion] Avery Ales

[Athelas]

Hey all, I was just going through some items at my house today and came across my collection of Avery Alcoholic Beverage Set. I remember how much fun it was putting that collection together and was curious how many other full sets there are out there? Finding that Oceania one wasn't all that particularly difficult for me oddly, but that Sonoma one really turned into a serious search. Anyway, I'm just curious who else out there owns a full set?

Can you list out the full set

Why certainly Dear Pampa, typing all of these out brought back quite a few fond memories. We were quite a strong community then, so many old timer's were still around and very active. It doesn't seem all that long ago, but a different time to be sure.

The Finest Firebrew Ale
Catskills Frostfine Ale
Serpents Cross Saffron Liqueur
Kazola's Limited Edition Avery Ale
Avery's Brainwashing Ale [You'll Loose More Than Your Memory]
Sonoma Fine Wine
Origin's Ale of the Ages
Golden Brew Tavern's Finest Single Malt
Seven Tear's Double Block *Stamped With Ye Ole Winery's Seal
Legends Lighthouse Lager
Sapewine Wines Avery's Special Microbrew
Avery's Special Adieu Brew
Crodens Finest Grape Wine
Bunyip Lager
Vesper Ale

Thank you for the list. I have tried to complete this also and I think like most people the only one I'm missing is the Bunyip Lager. I am old in the game but relatively new to collecting. I do wish I had been around In the glory days of rares. So many amazing things banked and locked away forever

The Bunyip was definitely the rarest in that only 1 or 2 people were on whenever Avery popped up there, and on top of that, only 1 or 2 were ever sold from those non collectors that received them. I guess the Brainwashing Ale was the second hardest. In hindsight it wasn't the Sonoma variety that was the hardest for me to find, it was Crodens. I want to say I purchased that off of Lykor at one of the first Catskills rares fests and it was the last one I needed.

So does anyone else own a full set? I'm also curious what a set such as this would be worth these days and was wondering if any of my fine colleagues had any ideas?
