From Kona:
Kailua-Kona, Hawaii (May 23, 2016) – As temperatures across the nation heat up, beer
drinkers from coast to coast start craving a crisp, smooth and refreshing brew that’ll turn a
warm afternoon into a chill soiree. Lucky for them, liquid gratification is on the way.
Kona Brewing Company’s exotically
delicious Lemongrass Luau (ABV 5%, IBU 20)
just made its Mainland debut in time to
quench the thirsts of blonde ale fans looking
for a little zing and spice. A favorite thirst-quencher in Hawaii, Lemongrass Luau will
be available in six packs and on draft. This
unique blonde ale is part of Kona Brewing
Co.’s Aloha Series – a special series, widely
available throughout the mainland, which
features seasonal craft brews made with
island-inspired ingredients.
“There’s an unmistakable energy when the weather changes & people swap long sleeves for
tank tops,” said Sandi Shriver, head of Kona Brewing Co.’s brewery operations. “We wanted to
bottle that seasonal excitement in a blonde ale that really captures the ready-to-celebrate vibe
of spring with an invigorating pop of flavor and a nice smooth finish.”
Luau means party or feast in Hawaiian, and the sessionable Lemongrass Luau promises to keep
the party lively with a unique flavor profile that flings taste buds out of the winter doldrums
with a bright hint of lemongrass and fresh ginger. The unique hop mix lends layers of earthy
complexity that complement its subtle sweetness. Spicy, gingersnap flavors and aromas from
the ginger that’s added throughout the brewing process further balances the distinctive brew.
Lemongrass Luau pairs exceptionally well with grilled fish, chicken, pork and vegetables. To
