OUT NOW: Amber Ale & return of the Porter

We have just re-released two beers on tap here at the brewery! One of our favorites, the Robust Porter is back on the nitrogen tap. Rich, dark, and backed up by a foamy, nitrogen-induced head this beer was a wintertime winner. We brewed another batch and hope to keep this darker ale on tap now year round! 6.0% ABV and 40 IBUs too! Amber Ale is a "sticke" Alt style beer, brewed and lagered in the German tradition. A little lighter in color and slightly hoppier than last year's Amber, but still a guaranteed winner. 6.0% ABV and 39 IBUs. Come in and grab a growler of both of these today, and look for screen-printed, limited release bottles of Porter to follow! CHEERS -IBC

Coming Friday 3/5: CASK VANILLA BEAN STOUT!

We are again rolling out a cask from the cellar for Carpinteria's first Friday celebration! This month's offering is our delicious Vanilla Bean Stout! The backbone of this ale is our esteemed winter beer, Starry Night Stout, a rich and roasty foreign style stout weighing in at 7% ABV and 50 IBUs. When fermentation is nearly complete, we rack the ale into a cask and add a whole vanilla bean. After a lengthy maturation process, the jet-black ale takes on the subtle flavors and nuances of the vanilla bean for a unique and delicious treat of a beer! In addition, we will be hosting a chocolate and beer pairing that night, featuring the chocolates of Chocolats du CaliBressan (one made with our original Starry Night Stout). We can't think of a better way to kick-off the weekend than with a combination of chocolate and vanilla stout! Hope to see you here. Cheers! -IBC
