Did you know that Kona is currently serving the Ohi wet hop beer? From what I know the only brewery in Hawaii taking advantage of hop harvest and using overnight shipping to create a wet hop beer. This is the third year Kona has produced this brew.

I did not know that. We can only hope they get some kegs of it over to Oahu. We don’t always see all of their Kona pub beers over here.

I’m so glad this is here now, been in Texas for the last 8 years drinking good beer. Coming home to stay and continuing my love. I’m shipping a ton of mainland beers home so hopefully i can meet more local beer dudes to share maybe trade 😉
Cheers
