Description
Aloha. That’s how most conversations begin here. It’s also how many of them end. But “Aloha” doesn’t just mean hello and goodbye and love and welcome. It means more than a word can express. It’s a feeling. A way of life. “Aloha” is the idea that we are all connected to everyone and everything around us and that true joy is found in respecting this connection. And it’s in this aloha spirit that the Kona Brewing Company was founded back in 1994 by Cameron Healy and his son Spoon Khalsa. They combined their love of Hawaii and its pristine, natural beauty with their fondness for delicious, local brews, and lucky for us, their dream lives on more than 20 years later.
So try a few of them. And join us in our pursuit of aloha.

568ml can of 'Kona Light' on the balcony of our stateroom while sailing from Hawaii to Mexico in December 2022. Obtained from an ABC store and smuggled on board! Clear and clean golden body, white topping. Citrus like aroma and mini-taste, tropical fruitiness even. Light feel to the body and taste. OK for a hot day.

Can. Dark brown sporting a nice beige head. Aroma of roasted malts, ground coffee, brown sugar and earthiness. Taste of roasted malts, brown sugar, caramel, coffee and dark chocolate. Moderate but lasting bitterness. Strong carbonation. Watery mouthfeel. Ok but it’s always the same old song: I like the idea of coffee Porters/Stouts/Whatevers better than the actual beers.
