Single Barrel Release: Holiday Cheers Begin in Brevard at Carib Brewery USA with New Imperial Porter

December’s Hottest Pour Is a Dark One at Carib Brewery USA in Cape Canaveral

Raise a glass to bold winter flavor with the December Imperial Porter — a true seasonal standout on Florida’s Space Coast!

BREVARD COUNTY • CAPE CANAVERAL, FLORIDA — As Florida’s Space Coast eases into its brief, but welcome cooler season, Carib Brewery USA is greeting December with a beer made for cozy nights and celebratory gatherings.

The brewery’s latest Innovation Series offering — a Single Barrel Imperial Porter — is now pouring at 321 Lime House, the Carib Brewery USA taproom in Cape Canaveral, bringing rich, winter-ready flavor to the heart of the coast.

Designed as a seasonal indulgence, the Imperial Porter is brewed to showcase everything fans love about the style: depth, warmth, and complexity in every sip.

At 8.5% alcohol by volume with a balanced 35–40 IBUs, the beer offers a bold presence without overpowering the palate. In the glass, it pours a deep, dark brown crowned with a velvety tan head — a visual cue that this is no ordinary winter pour.

The flavor profile unfolds with layers of dark chocolate, roasted coffee, and caramel, rounded out by a subtle hint of molasses that adds sweetness and depth.

The beer’s full-bodied mouthfeel and warming finish make it an ideal companion for cool Florida evenings — a brew that invites conversation, complements dessert, and stands comfortably on its own as a fireside sipper.

“This is a beer that’s meant to slow you down,” one taproom regular said between tastings on release week. “It feels like the holidays in a glass.”

Carib Brewery USA is marking the debut with its traditional First Tap celebration at the taproom, located at 200 Imperial Boulevard in Cape Canaveral.

The brewery’s Single Barrel Releases officially tap every first Saturday of the month at 5 p.m., turning each release into a community event for local craft beer fans and visitors alike.

As with all innovation releases, the Imperial Porter is available only while the barrel lasts, adding an element of anticipation to every pour.

The December release arrives just in time for the holiday season, when gatherings grow longer and evenings lend themselves to richer flavors.

Smooth yet robust, the Imperial Porter fits naturally into festive moments — from holiday parties to quiet nights at home — offering a seasonal classic rendered with Carib’s signature flair.

For those planning a visit, Carib Brewery USA encourages beer lovers to check its taproom calendar for upcoming events and future releases. Details are available at caribbreweryusa.com/taproom.

As the year draws to a close, Carib Brewery USA’s Imperial Porter stands as both a celebration of the season and a toast to bold winter flavor on Florida’s Space Coast — a limited pour crafted to be savored, one warm sip at a time.
