Coronado Brewing Goes Tropical with Release of Guava Islander IPA
San Diego, CA - October 19, 2016 -
Coronado
Brewing Company is excited to announce a tropical twist to its core
lineup, with the addition of Guava Islander IPA. Coronado Brewing is no
stranger to brewing with fruit-the company was an early pioneer with its
bestselling Orange Ave. Wit, as well as the cult-favorite seasonal,
Berry the Hatchet. "Coronado has a rich history of brewing with fruit,"
says Brandon Richards, COO, Coronado Brewing Company. "We've been
experimenting with fruits in our beers for twenty years, and recently
fans have been begging us to brew an IPA with fruit. After a lot of
experimentation, we decided guavas really bring out the tropical notes
from the hops we use," says Richards.
Guava
Islander is a tropical spin on the company's 2014 World Beer Cup
gold-medal winning Islander IPA. The beer is brewed with a whopping
eight pounds of all natural pink guava puree per barrel of beer, giving
Guava Islander a robust, fruit-forward aroma and flavor. "Pink guavas
are known for being intensely aromatic, with a sweet pear and
strawberry-like flavor," says Ryan Brooks, Brewmaster, Coronado Brewing.
"We wanted the fruit to come through in a natural way that complements
the bright citrus notes of the Centennial and Columbus hops we use for
bittering and dry-hopping." The end result is a robust, unfiltered IPA
with the perfect balance of juicy, tropical fruit flavor and citrusy hop
bitterness.
Guava
Islander joins Coronado's year round lineup of beers, including
Islander IPA, Stingray IPA, Mermaid's Red, Orange Ave. Wit, Idiot IPA,
Seacoast Pilsner, and Easy Up Pale Ale. Coronado will launch Guava
Islander on draft and in 22oz glass bottles in mid-October, with
six-pack cans following in March. Guava Islander will be available
across the company's distribution network of 19 states.

In
1996, when craft beer was still a foreign term and San Diego County was
home to only a handful of breweries, the Chapman brothers Ron and Rick
opened a brewpub in their hometown of Coronado. Today CBC stays true to
their San Diego roots, brewing abundantly hoppy West Coast-style ales,
which are available today in 18 US states and twelve countries. In
addition to the long-established pub in Coronado, the company opened a
tasting room inside their newly built San Diego production facility in
early 2013, and a tasting room and restaurant in Imperial Beach,
California in 2014. Coronado Brewing Company was honored in 2014 with
one of the brewing industry's most prestigious awards-World Beer Cup
Champion Brewery and Brewmaster for a Mid-size Brewing Company.
