Islla St. Brewing

Innovative Small Batch brewing inspired by family and the rich flavors of South Texas. We create inspired recipes that tell a story

If one little blue house on 1606 Islla St.in Corpus Christi, Tx could talk it would have some amazing stories to tell. We want to share those stories through our beer. In that house, generations of influential people lived, grew up and had some amazing times. They shaped us in to the people we are now. Oh yeah did I mention there was also a beautiful garden full of fruits, vegetables and flowers as well.

A fresh spin on an old school icon…

We’ve been a little quiet but VERY busy working on a few things. Our NEW cans hit shelves this weekend as we begin our tour of Texas!

This Iconic Texas red soda beer will be making its way into DFW and South Texas FINALLY starting next weekend! Hit up your nearest HEB AND Be sure to tell your beer stewards you want more if it’s sold out!

Great for any occasion and intended to be served ICE COLD ❄️ with a taco… make sure Rojo is part of all your gatherings! Brewed as a Berliner Weisse and balanced with that sweet red soda you’ve grown to love, it’s the perfect blend of crisp, sweet and tart.

12/22/2021

Ok… a FRESH Wave of Rojo hits shelves TODAY just in time for the Holidays! A few hundred cases sprinkled around for you to find!

If you or someone you know was on the hunt for your Holiday Pachanga then here ya go!

Again, Our aim is to get Rojo out to the masses and as we initially roll out with our partners at HEB, its No secret that we are San Antonio local, so the and central Texas market claimed the lions share… it will be popping up in these stores today as well as the ones listed yesterday!

Again, we ask that if we aren’t in your neighborhood location please be kind and simply let your buyer know you’d like to see us… if you arrive to a location that is sold out or hasn’t put it on the shelves yet we ask again that you please be patient and ask with kindness.

Beer is nothing if it doesn’t bring people together this holiday season 🎄🎇

You’re going to see a little story about a man named Ricardo on the can, his story and influence on us is behind all of this and why we approach beer the way we do… he would’ve loved to have seen this. We look forward to sharing more with you over the coming weeks and months!

Get your barbacoa ready!
Tomorrow 12.8.21 Rojo will have its initial roll out with HEB.

The first of 5 beers coming to distribution over the next 6 weeks that highlight AUTHENTIC and inspired Mexican craft beer; the long awaited take on one of Texas’ most iconic sodas… Rojo!

Introduce your friends to our big Familia and show them what the Pachanaga lifestyle is all about!

12/06/2021

From Corpitos boys with 2 1BBL Pots in our original garage to a PRE- SOLD OUT 60BBL release of Rojo is a WILD ride!
A few thousand Rojo cans will be making their way onto grocery shelves this week and we could not be more excited!

Wednesday 12/8 you’ll find Rojo at your neighborhood and on tap at over 20 locations.

Iconically Texas, this first introduction to the Pachanaga lifestyle will hopefully serve as the first taste of what Islla Street is about and what Tejano Craft Beer is. First out the gate is this brew finished with Texas’ official red soda of Barbacoa!

Please tell a friend who has been waiting and help as many people you know join our ever growing Familia.

To everyone who’s ever done a sweaty no AC Pachanga Sunday, to our Grandfather who showed us the American dream and our parents who let us chase it this first step is for YOU! 🙏🏽❤️

Stay tuned this month as we unveil our 4 other HEB can offerings and share our opening plans for the new location.
