Description
Lanikai Brewing Company is an Island Inspired®, authentic Hawaiian craft beer company making 100% of our brews here in Hawaii. We take our cues from premium, local, rare, and exotic ingredients grown by local farmers or foraged across the Pacific to bring you innovative, bold and flavorful beers that you will find nowhere else often utilizing Hawaiian terroir utilizing local native yeast and bacteria. Pour a nice solid head to breathe in the flowers and fruits, the same aromas carried by our gentle trade winds. It’s paradise in a bomber bottle, best shared with friends on the beach.

In addition to our Tap and Barrel tasting room in beautiful Kailua, Hawaii, Lanikai Brewing company beers can be found throughout the Hawaiian Islands including Kauai, Oahu, Maui and Big Island and are coming soon to the Pacific Northwest, Australia and Japan in early 2019.

We currently have more Tap and Barrel tasting room locations in planning as well as our Distillery all planned to launch in 2019

On tap at Man in the Moon. A bit hazy reddish with a medium pink head. A bit tart with berries, light yeast and some hints of spices. The body was fairly soft as was the bitterness.

Keg at Man in The Moon, Stockholm. Bright rosy red, minimal pink head. Tart perfumy floral nose. Mid sweet with medium body and clean, rounded mouthfeel. Juicy with tropical flowers and mild berry tartness, notes of marzipan. Some crisp bread provides a backbone. Fairly low bitterness.

Medium brown. Something feels a bit off here almost like it’s an infected homebrew. Light malt, lightly tart. Not very enjoyable.

Deep dark brown coloured body with a nice, three centimetre tall tan and light brown head. Aroma of roasted malt, chocolate, vanilla, earth, caramel and a bit of alcohol. Medium-bodied; Candy sweet chocolate and caramel hit first with a good deal of grain, roasted malt, oatmeal and vanilla right behind. Aftertaste shows a lot of roasted malt bitterness with some subdued grain and alcohol along with a bit of chocolate and coffee and a touch of alcohol as well. Overall, a nice porter with some rich flavours and a deep bitterness that you don’t find in most local beers. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from KTA Super Store in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii Island, Hawaii on 09-August-2016 for US$7,99 sampled in my hotel/condo on 12-August-2016.
