Cask Jubilee & Avo Fest Weekind (Oct 3-5)!

Hey guys, this Friday, October 3, we will be releasing our latest cask-conditioned ale. Cask-conditioned, oak aged Jubilee is a rich and robust 'real ale,' with lingering hints of toffee and vanilla imparted by over six weeks of aging on French oak chips. Come in and sample a glass at our tasting room Friday, as it is sure to be a quick seller and crowd pleaser! In addition to tapping our cask, Friday is also the first official day of the Avocado Festival, which takes place along Linden Ave. here in Carpinteria. The festival lasts all weekend long and is a great time to celebrate the release of our Avocado Honey Ale in 220z Limited release bottles. It will be super busy, so we do ask to keep your dogs at home this weekend as you celebrate here at the tasting room. Hope to see you here!

Tasting Room Hours: Mon-Fri: 2pm-9pm, Sat-Sun: 11am-9pm

Now On Tap - Avocado Honey Ale


The wait is over! Here at the taproom we have just tapped our first keg of our annual Avocado Honey Ale! Our Avocado Honey Ale is a copper colored, easy drinking ale, flavored with a late boil addition of 50 pounds of honey from LOCAL Carpinteria Avocado Orchards. In addition, it is lightly hopped, allowing for a smooth honey aroma in the finish. We have brewed two batches this year in preparation of the Carpinteria Avocado Festival (Oct. 3-5), however, this beer is one of our more popular brews so it will go fast. Look for limited-release screen printed bottles in the following weeks, and make sure to grab your own as we will be filling only 120 cases of this seasonal ale. Swing by the tasting room and sample a glass today, we'll see you there! Cheers. -IBC

Coming soon - Avocado Honey Ale



In preparation for this years Carpinteria Avocado Festival (October 3rd, 4th, and 5th) we will once again be releasing our fall seasonal beer the Avocado Honey Ale! Avocado in beer you wonder? Not really, this unique brew is similar to our blonde ale - light and refreshing, however it is brewed with its own unique grain bill, as well as a late boil addition of 50 pounds of locally sourced honey from an avocado orchard! Look for it to appear on tap around the end of September, and bottles to follow as we get to them. Till then, cheers! -IBC
