A First in Puerto Rico – Ocean Lab Brewing Co. Drops Coffee Berries IPA!

Ocean Lab teamed up with Café Don Ruiz to bring you an IPA like no other! This limited-edition brew blends the bold bitterness of an IPA with the sweet, fruity essence of coffee cherries, also known as cascara.
What’s in Coffee Berries IPA?
Expect a smooth, juicy, and refreshingly complex beer. The hop-forward profile delivers bright citrus, mango, and pine notes, perfectly balanced by the natural sweetness of coffee fruit. Think hints of cherry, raisin, and hibiscus, adding a delicate fruity twist without overpowering the signature IPA bitterness. This isn’t your typical coffee beer—it’s light, fruity, and incredibly drinkable.
Why Coffee Cherries?
Unlike traditional coffee beers that highlight roasted coffee beans, Coffee Berries IPA brings something entirely different. Cascara, the dried skin of the coffee cherry, is packed with natural fruitiness, floral undertones, and a touch of earthiness. When paired with bold American hops, the result is a tropical-meets-coffee fusion—something completely unique to Puerto Rico’s craft beer scene!
Where & When to Get Coffee Berries IPA
This exclusive, small-batch release drops Saturday, March 1, at Ocean Lab Brewing Co. locations in Isla Verde and San Patricio Plaza.
To celebrate, we’re hosting a Meet & Greet at 6PM! Plus, enjoy live music until close to keep the vibes flowing all night!
Don’t Miss Out!
Limited releases like this don’t stick around for long. If you’re a fan of hazy IPAs, experimental brews, and coffee-inspired craft beer, this one’s a must-try.
Grab a pint, soak in the flavors, and be part of Puerto Rico’s craft beer evolution.
