Producer’s Background:

Founded in 1996 on Coronado Island, Coronado Brewing Co. began as a laid-back beachside brewpub built on friendship, flavor, and a love of the ocean. Nearly three decades later, the brewery has grown into one of California’s coastal icons, celebrated for its craftsmanship, community spirit, and signature West Coast-meets-island style. Guided by that same passion, the team continues to brew beers that embody the essence of shoreline living: bold, balanced, and refreshingly unpretentious.

Serving Suggestions:

Best served at 45–50°F. Pair Palm Sway with grilled mahi-mahi tacos, jerk chicken, or citrus-glazed shrimp for a perfect tropical harmony. For a casual vibe, enjoy it with a basket of fish and chips or a fresh pineapple salsa dip while soaking in a golden sunset.

The Palm Sway Island Style IPA is more than just a beer; it’s a state of mind, brewed to carry you from the mainland hustle straight into the heart of coastal serenity.
