I'm really not a beer drinker but it's always refreshing to throw a couple down after a race hanging out with the boys. A couple of months ago I was fortunate to be invited to an exclusive event promoting Kona Brewing Company's newest beer, Koko Brown. There was an interesting mix of people at the event, from beer connoisseurs to SUPers. You're probably wondering why SUPers were invited to this tasting event. Well, check out the label. The label features a stand-up paddler in Maunalua Bay in Oahu, a popular SUP spot in the shadows of Koko Head and Koko Crater.
Koko Brown Ale is a rich mahogany ale brewed with toasted coconut for a nutty aroma and flavor. It is available in limited release at restaurants and retail establishments in Hawaii and the West Coast, now through May 1 before being re-launched with wider distribution in January 2012. Make sure you try it because not only does it taste good but the Kona Brewing Company sponsors a number of SUP competitions including the Molokai 2 Oahu, Battle of the Paddle and Maui Jim Surf Monkey.
