Brewed in collaboration with Five Boroughs Brewing Co. in Brooklyn NY, Islander was originally brewed with the Broadway cast and crew of Come From Away. Fermented with Vermont Ale yeast and heavily hopped with Cascade, Amarillo, Sabre and El Dorado, it is a juicy and fruity tasting beer. Redolent with citrus and stone fruit aromas, the oats and wheat from the mash also lend a silky mouthfeel.
Great on its own but also pairs well with sharp cheeses like cheddar, Manchego, parmesan, BBQ and spicy foods. Also complements brunch foods like eggs benedict, avocado toast or pancakes.
