- Coconut Hiwa Porter (Maui Brewing Company) Fridays in Hawaii are special, with “Happy Aloha Friday!” being shouted from the morning on TV news programs and everywhere else. Everyone is excited for the weekend. Work emails are also sent on Friday afternoons, and there are no replies at ……. One of the small pleasures of these Fridays is drinking “Coconut Hiwa Porter” as a “Friday Beer”. When poured into a glass, the porter has a sweet and savory aroma of toasted coconut, and one sip and you are smitten with the idea that you have arrived in the paradise of Hawaii. Maui Brewing Company, which I have covered before. Maui Brewing Company, which I have interviewed before, focuses on sustainability, brews its beer using solar power, and uses locally grown ingredients as much as possible. They donate malt lees from the brewing process to livestock farmers as feed, from which they purchase livestock to serve at their restaurants.
Kohala Brewery has a brewery in Lahaina, Maui, and has strong local roots. Kohala means whale in Hawaiian. In winter, humpback whales can be seen off the coast of Lahaina, and the background of “KOHOLA” on this can depicts a whale’s tail. Lahaina Haze IPA is a cloudy Hazy IPA with no sharp bitterness. If you are new to IPAs and love Hawaii, this one might be a good place to start. These 10 beers were selected from the beers I drank at home this year. I tried to choose beers that were fun to drink. That said, we kicked off the year 2022 with a sake made in Hawaii. The sake made to celebrate the Year of the Tiger at Islander Sake Brewery was fresh. This was one of the bottles that impressed me that there is such high quality sake in Hawaii. They are also secretly looking forward to what kind of sake they will serve in the Year of the Rabbit in 2023. In 2023, as an editor who publishes a lifestyle magazine in Hawaii, and as a Hawaii lover who is fascinated by Hawaii the more I live here, I hope to continue to bring you the many faces of Hawaii from there.
