Island Brewing Creates Largest Batch of Avocado Honey Ale

imageI’m curious to try this one, and it sounds like I’m not alone.  Island Brewing will brew their largest ever batch of Avocado Honey Ale in support of the California Avocado Festival 2012.  Details from Independent.com:

In anticipation of the record crowd, this year the brewery brewed the most Avocado Honey Ale in its 11-year history, four 15.5 barrel batches or 1,900 gallons from which they will bottle 2,800 bottles. “In so many ways the Avocado Honey Ale truly represents a connection from consumer to the natural world quite literally in our back yard. Aside from the malted barley, hops, yeast and water, there is the honey which represents a staggering amount of work from the bees side of the equation. It requires 10,000 worker bees to gather a single pound of honey and the combined mileage of these bees is the equivalent of flying more than twice around the world. The average life of a honey bee is about six weeks and over two million flowers have to be tapped to make a pound of honey. It’s something to think about the next time you lift a pint to your lips.”
