About this beer

Blue Island Beer Company’s Islay Ale is a potent 11.5% ABV Barleywine-style Ale, distinguished by its significant use of smoked rye. The beer presents a complex flavor profile evoking the namesake Scottish island, with smoky notes indicative of Islay Scotch whiskies. Brewed and packaged in Blue Island, Illinois, this offering boldly states its commitment to craft with a tagline proclaiming “True to the Craft.” The label itself features a striking, somewhat antique-looking illustration of a railway bridge, rendered in dark tones, and prominently displays the beer’s volume in both 5.16 and 15.5 gallon sizes.

The brew promises a rich and warming experience—a testament to its high alcohol content and the incorporation of smoked rye in the grain bill. It’s a product of the USA, and the label includes the standard government warning regarding responsible consumption.
