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 Friday 7/11/08- Cask-Conditioned, Oak-Aged I.P.A.

Real Ale lovers rejoice - we will be tapping a fresh cask of our I.P.A. this Friday! In addition to being allowed to fully ferment inside the cask, we have liberally added French Oak chips to the mix, as well as a judicious addition of aromatic Kent Golding hops! The taste is truly unique, oaky and hoppy with an underlying malt profile to balance it all out. Swing on over to the tasting room and try a glass for yourself, it is sure to sell out quickly!
