Island Brands USA

The Island Brands’ story began on a rum soaked trip to Cuba, when founders Scott Hansen and Brandon Perry discovered that the country had low quality and very limited options when it came to beer. They set out on a mission to make better beer more accessible to Cuba, and they discovered, in their opinion, corporate beer brands are fleecing their customers with low quality ingredients, while maintaining a stranglehold on shelfspace and distribution worldwide. Brandon and Scott, both serial entrepreneurs, began working to perfect a recipe for an all-clean, easy-drinking beer and, after two years of recipe testing, Island Coastal Lager was born. The duo quickly realized they had created something very special that could compete with the biggest beer brands in the market. While there are still political obstacles that we face with getting the beer to Cuba, Island Brands has already flourished throughout the Southeastern US.
