Kona Lemongrass Luau Going Nationwide

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
