5/5

Dec 9th, Fire Rock Pale Ale

by

I was nodding to myself as I took the first sip of today’s beer; Fire Rock Pale Ale from Kona Brewing Company, Kona, HI. Yes, this is how beer should taste! Definitely a 5 out of 5!

The label says;
Active volcanoes on the big island of Hawaii leave visitors awestruck by their power. The glow of lava as it meets the ocean is an amazing sight. Our Fire Rock Pale Ale is inspired by this place with a bright copper color and rich roasted malt taste. Aloha!
Since 1994, Kona Brewing Co. has been committed to making handcrafted ales and lagers of uncompromised quality. We invite you to visit our brewery and pubs whenever you visit Hawaii. Mahalo!
