Health benefits of beer run quite a spectrum, according to our friends at Yahoo: http://health.yahoo.net/experts/dayinhealth/10-surprising-health-benefits-beer/

We had our suspicions!

This is sure to be a good one: we'll be tapping a cask conditioned Vanilla Bean Stout for First Friday! It'll be going fast, so do not delay, the fact that it's also the biggest swell of the year will only add to the vibe! See you then.

The Holidays are upon us. And with them usually comes a bit of holiday mayhem. We can help: growlers, pint glasses, hats, t-shirts, gift cards, bourbon barrel beer, and bottles to go are just some last minute gift ideas sure to please. And perhaps best of all, you can have a beer while you shop!

Blast from the Past

noreply@blogger.com (Island Brewing) — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 00:20:00 +0000

And in the blast from the past department, we've brewed a long awaited batch of the Weiss, which is bubbling merrily away. And later this week we'll be brewing a long, long, long awaited batch of our Nut Brown Ale! That is not a typo! So stay tuned and in a couple of weeks we'll be taking a sip down memory lane!

Father's Day Weekend

noreply@blogger.com (Island Brewing) — Thu, 16 Jun 2011 21:31:00 +0000

Stumped on what to get Dad? In our humble opinion craft beer is the gift that keeps on giving. Growlers, gift cards, t-shirts, hats, you get the idea.

Friday night we'll be tapping a cask of Tangerine Weiss.
Saturday we'll have the sonic goodness of Waterhorse, they'll be playing out on the patio at 3pm.

Hope to see you!

Vintage Cask Porter

noreply@blogger.com (Island Brewing) — Fri, 04 Feb 2011 22:16:00 +0000

We brought out a 2009 vintage porter in a cask for First Friday. Intial reviews put it in the 'smooth as silk' category, but come down and see for yourself.
