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.

Bottle at Napoli Stories, Küttigen. Pours a clear golden colour with very little head. Aroma is light hops, citrus, pine. Light body. Flavour is light malt, crystal malt, light pine, herbal hops. Just fine, a good alternative to a lager as it's refreshing and not too complicated.

Mini-rbhd (trekkspilleren, eiendomsbaronen + undertegnede) på Bjørnøy sep-21: nå en 0,33 flaske fra Coop Extra. Klar gylden med kort skum. Paryme/såpe i aroma og iste med kunstig ferskensmak er noen av de mindre flatterende bemerkningene som svirrer rundt bordet. Merkelig ettersmak.
