Out Friday 9/25- Avocado Honey Ale!


It is time for the return of Island Brewing Co.'s popular Avocado Honey Ale!  This beer has been a HUGE hit with locals and visitors alike, and is released just prior to the Carpinteria Avocado Festival.  This unique beer is complimented with the addition of 60 pounds of locally sourced avocado honey (NOT AVOCADOS!) at the end of the boil process, producing a slightly sweet finish.  Brewed with Superior Pilsner and German malts, Avocado Honey Ale is also lightly hopped to bring forward the delicate and aromatic flavors and aromas of avocado honey.  Hope to see you down at the tasting room for a glass this weekend, and look for special labeled bottles to come in the following week. Cheers! -IBC

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
