This is the beer that started it all- the community's love of this brew led to the initial formation of the business! Inspiration for the name came from the notorious Elwha ferry incident wherein, legend has it, the captain was distracted by a lady-friend and ran the boat aground off the coast of Orcas. Floral, citrusy, and earthy with a crisp finish. Bright and zippy hop presence that crashed into a grounded, supportive body. The malt foundation balances the hop bitterness in this classic Pacific Northwest style India Pale Ale. Dry hop: Chinook, aroma hop: Centennial, bittering hop: Zeus.

This flagship beer was the first collaboration between our three brewer-owners, Nate, Becca, and Jim. They created it for a friend who loved mixing barleywine with IPA. The result has become the signature beer of Island Hoppin'. An imperial red with full malt and hop body for an exceptionally smooth, strong ale. Ruby red color reminiscent of the eponymous Madrona tree. Dried fruit aromas lead the way to a strong, sweet, and malty beer that is dangerously sippable. Full, round mouthfeel, brightened by Zythos hops. Boozy, delicious, and a nice sipper but not to be messed with! The Old Madrona won the People's Choice Award at the 2014 Anacortes Oktoberfest. Thank you!

German style ale that drinks like a lager. Light and refreshing, our Kolsch was crafted by head brewer Nate for his hardworking friends to enjoy after work. During the beer's initial fermentation, a local resident pod of Orca whales had a baby- and the K-Pod Kolsch was born. The bready, smooth malt character of the pale and pilsner malt play well with the gentle bitterness of the EKG hops. Pairs well with food and summertime.

We like to try out new hops, and the best way we've found to do that is to have a rotating selection of a Session IPA; hence the ISA. No telling how long any specific batch will last!

This classic German style of lager is designed to showcase the malt for an instant before disappearing cleanly, with a surprisingly light body and an off-dry finish. Toasted robust malt on the palette, very light hop aroma; this deceptively drinkable beer will delight your tastebuds year-round.

Made with organic golden raspberries, and an American wheat body; this has quickly become a favorite. On the dry side, this fruit beer is a summer favorite!
