On July 26, 1894, Aldous Leonard Huxley was born in Godalming, Surrey, England. He is known for the books, Point Counter Point, The Doors of Perception, and Brave New World.
Brave New World was published in 1932. It was set in London in 2540. It's about a future society where warfare and poverty are eliminated and people are always happy due to government provided drugs and conditioning. It's a hedonistic society where people get pleasure form promiscuous sex and drug use. Family, culture, art, literature, science, religion and philosophy have all been eliminated.
Huxley referred to Brave New World as a "negative utopia".
Avery New World Porter isn't quite a "negative utopia." It receives a 94% on Ratebeer and a B+ on Beer Advocate.
A traditional black porter, with a surprise twist - it's dry-hopped!! We've expanded the porter category a bit, adding a delightful, dry hop aroma to blend with the sweet caramel and chocolate characteristics of a Robust Porter.
So crack open your copy of Brave New World, you know, the one you had to buy when you were a senior in High School, and crack open a bottle of Avery New World Porter. If you don't have time to read the book, then watch Demolition Man, it's not as good, but it's also a dystopian society.
