Friday 11/28/08 Cask Conditioned Harvest Ale!

Hey beer fans, after your fill of turkey on Thanksgiving, swing by the tasting room on Friday, Nov. 28th and try a glass of our Cask Conditioned Harvest Ale. Our harvest ale was brewed with fresh, local, 'wet' hops, contributing a distinct hop aroma and flavor. In addition, we added a generous dry hopping of 'wet' hops into the cask during secondary fermentation to further pronounce a very "west coast" hop flavor to the finished beer. There are only 7 gallons of this unique ale so make sure to stop in early, as our last few casks have been selling out by the end of Friday night. Hope to see you then. Cheers -IBC

Now on Tap: Avocado Honey Ale & London Porter

Just a heads up for anyone not at the tasting room lately, we are now pouring Avocado Honey Ale (again), as well as the first winter seasonal, London Porter. Avocado Honey Ale is a copper colored ale, flavored with locally sourced raw honey from an avocado orchard. In addition, it is lightly hopped to allow the smooth honey flavors to stand out in the finish. London Porter, is a robust-style porter, with a rich, roasty, flavor. Currently, the porter is being served on the nitrogen tap to give a thick, smooth head to one of our favorite seasonal ales. Hope to see you soon, Cheers!

Cask Jubilee & Avo Fest Weekind (Oct 3-5)!

Hey guys, this Friday, October 3, we will be releasing our latest cask-conditioned ale. Cask-conditioned, oak aged Jubilee is a rich and robust 'real ale,' with lingering hints of toffee and vanilla imparted by over six weeks of aging on French oak chips. Come in and sample a glass at our tasting room Friday, as it is sure to be a quick seller and crowd pleaser! In addition to tapping our cask, Friday is also the first official day of the Avocado Festival, which takes place along Linden Ave. here in Carpinteria. The festival lasts all weekend long and is a great time to celebrate the release of our Avocado Honey Ale in 220z Limited release bottles. It will be super busy, so we do ask to keep your dogs at home this weekend as you celebrate here at the tasting room. Hope to see you here!

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
