IBC Carpinteria CA
Creating community through craft beer since 2001. Island Brewing Company is considered the home of GYDO | Get Your Drink On.
This is where the idea of GYDO was conceptualized. The founder Ryan Williams was sitting with his son James, his partner Jessica and nephew, Dayne from South Africa. It was a typical December day in sunny California but it was his nephews birthday. They were Face timing family in South Africa and Dayne's parents could not buy him a drink at IBC. At IBC there is a "beer board" where locals buy each other a beer but you have to be here to make the purchase.
This started the creative juices and Ryan was left with a burning desire of why someone has not done this yet?
