Islamorada Beer Company

About Islamorada Beer Company

The craft brew industry is rapidly growing around the country and Florida is no exception. Like most craft breweries, Islamorada Beer Company began with a passion for home brewing and good friends. Cofounders, Jose Herrera and Tyrone Bradly, along with Chris Trentine and Nik Schroth, finally took a leap of faith, after a fishing trip to Bimini and opened Islamorada Beer Company (IBC) in May 2014. After only two years, IBC grew to over 100 accounts and beer was flowing as far north as Jupiter and along the Gulf Coast.

All of the beers from Islamorada Beer Company are light bodied and seasonal, which means they go down easy and there is always room for more. A fan favorite of IBC is an American wheat ale inspired by Islamorada’s famous sandbar – Sandbar Sunday. Weekends at the sandbar are spent with boats anchored down and tied together, good friends, music and the escape of everyday life. Don’t forget the lime!

Expanding To Fort Pierce

Expanding to Fort Pierce, and opening in August 2016, Islamorada now has the space to grow their production by 75,000 gallons a year and will include canning and bottling lines. Of course, there is a Tap Room to soak up some liquid sun, and although IBC does not serve food, you are welcome to bring your own or enjoy fare from one of the local food trucks that may be parked out back.

Community

Becoming a part of the community is not only important, but vital to Islamorada Beer Company. After all, it is people and friends that brought them together and the same will keep them together. IBC Taproom in Fort Pierce is quaint enough to enjoy a quick beer after work and large enough to accommodate big parties. Be sure to check out Facebook for a calendar of regular events that take place such as Pints and Poses - a new twist on yoga, and Swig of Color, where it doesn't matter if you paint outside the lines.
