Excellent brewery spot with great beer & relaxed service!…read more Located against the railroad track on the back side of the building, it's a bit difficult to find, but just drive all the way in to the large alley, I guess Maple Ave. Nice wide open set up, perfect for a cold beer on a warm day. Wife went for the Crimson Horizon, and she enjoued it. I got a sip and it was smoother butterier than the Firestone cali squeeze? I tried the Avocado Honey Ale since can't go wrong with description of amber honey ale! Was told it was a version of their kolsch with local honey. Wow, it was smooth with a bit of sweet finish, so addictive!!! Still had hours to drive so couldn't just have as many as I wanted, but I checked online and seemed Albertsons sold it so figured I can just pick them up back at home. But the gentleman resting at the bar told me he delivers their beer but only up to the hills. I guess maybe available in stores up to Camarillo, but not over that hill/mountain. I had to have more of it, and they had 6 packs in the cooler for purchase so went for a pack. The green cans are such delightful vessels to hold the even more delightful liquid inside. Wife even cut out the top and using the cute cans as planters, lol! The cans poured out at home was excellent as well, very fresh and refreshing and could get tiny hints of avocado on sips. Just a great beer! After browsing the brewery, it seems avocado honey ale is their signature beer, so I got lucky to choose that from the menu, lol. While enjoying the beer, the amtrak train blew it's horn to leave from the Carpinteria station, so we rushed out to wave and enjoy seeing that go by right in front as well. I am sure the locals were shaking their heads at our excitement of seeing the train go by, one gentleman when leaving even complimented my kid's dance moves from when we were out there to greet and send off the train, lol! Awesome local spot and great folks, just a very relaxing spot to enjoy the delicious avo honey ale! Just hidden so maybe not many visitors to Carpinteria find it, but I picked it out from search for brewery and chose this over the other one on the main streets. What a find for an out of towner! Hope they can expand out or grow their delivery area, maybe get it sent to total wine which must have a distribution center. Otherwise, this is a must stop for any SB trips for sure!

Island Brewing Company has a variety of beers to choose from, but they are mostly known for their avocado honey ale. It's a smooth slightly sweet beer. I'm a fan of their hazy IPA too.

They have a nice back area with a nice outdoor patio. A great place to chill and enjoy your drinks. Service here was pretty good when you order and she did come by to take our trash from our food order. Wild flower-Standard almost like neutral white wine Rare earth- feels like a nice warmed baked good in a drink with the cinnamon and spice. Sierra madre- has that quality aged wine flavor. Milk and honey had that creamy sweetness (not overly sweet) High and dry reminds me of a white wine with the crisp apple notes Kombucha here is not sour.

My friend was raving about the smash burgers, but the pizza looked incredible too, and the Mexican food was tempting. We ended up at the newly opened BBQ spot tucked at the end of the street and got the combo: 1/2 lb each of sausage, pulled pork, brisket, plus two sides. The sausage stole the show for me! I'm not usually a sauce person, but their sauces complemented the meats perfectly. The "innocuous" white bread? Turned out to be spectacular sourdough. Everything was reasonably priced, and honestly, this is the best BBQ I've ever had. Can't recommend it enough!

Besides the bar seating there's also a little alcove for some privacy as well as couch and outdoor seating. I sat at the bar though and talked to the bartender a bit. He was very chatty and friendly. I tried the Juice Box and the Millennial Flacon Fizz. They were both tasty but the second one was definitely my favorite. The coconut milk just made it. I want to try replicating it at home. My only complaint and why I took off a star was that the drinks were weak. I had two and basically felt nothing. Tiki bars by definition should have strong drinks! But maybe it was just that particular bartender, I dunno.
