Bourbon Barrel Show Down!




Just a heads up that we are getting dangerously close to bottling to epic beers here at Island Brewing Company. First, the infamous and celebrated Bourbon Barrel Aged Big Island, an Imperial Ale that packs mutlidimensional flavor, with hops, and a symphony of bourbon essence in the backgroud!. Next up will be our Black Ale, the Night Sail, also aged in Bourbon Barrels from Heavenly distillery in Kentucky. Think what would happen if a Porter and an IPA drank bourbon and had a baby! We'll only have these at the brewery, so stay tuned!

The New Kegs have Arrived!

Island Brewing Company just received a new batch of brand, spanking new and badly needed kegs. This summer has been a doozy in terms of keeping production a hair's breadth ahead of demand. And, as any regular to our tap room may have noticed, there have been a few times here at our tasting room in Carpinteria that demand for our craft beer exceeded production. Thanks for the enthusiasm, and thanks for your patience. This first shipment of new kegs should alleviate some of that and help us keep the fresh, hand crafted ales and the good times flowing!

Avocado Honey Ale Underway!

Here we go: Our first batch of the Avocado Honey Ale is now underway. Here's commander Ryan adding the labor of the bees that have travelled far and wide through avocado groves to bring back the nectar. This is 50lbs of honey going into the boil. The Avocado Festival kicks off in early October: stay tuned for the release of this popular seasonal beer from Island Brewing Company!

IPA Cask: Centinnel and Cascade

And for the hop heads among us: we've just tapped our second IPA cask, Centenniel and Cascade hops come blasting through this beauty. Get it while it lasts!
