Big Island: Now in Bottles!

The Big Island has been bottled! An intricate grain bill and heavy hand with the hops have produced an Impreial Pale Ale weighing in at 10% abv and 100 IBUs, all lovingly bottled into our 22 oz. bottles, waiting for you at the brewery, as well as some of the finer beer establishments around town. When they're gone, they're gone until next year which is a long winded way of saying that the time is ripe for you to make your way to Island Brewing Company and grab your fair share! See you soon if not sooner.

And if you've been hiding under a rock: Big Island and Little Island

And if you've been hiding under a rock: Big Island and Little Island Releases

 

It's finally here: our most robust, hoppiest offering of the year: The Big Island. If you are among the uninitiated, this is our Imperial Pale Ale. We're talking huge malt backbone and a balanced finish for 10% abv and a 100 IBUs (a big dose of Columbus and Cascade hops), served in a 13 oz. goblet to keep your reflexes intact.

 

Here's the story on the Little Island: So when we brew the Big Island, the resulting grain bed has enough fermentable sugars in it to brew another beer: and thus the Little Island was born from the second runnings of the Big Island mash.. This year's Little Island has grown up a bit when compared to Little Islands of yester year. Technically a Pale Ale with prominent Cascade Hops, the Little Island weighs in at 6.1% and 35 IBUs.

 

Which is for you? Only one way to find out. See you soon!
