Kona Brewing Pipeline Porter

Top 10 Fall Beers

Kona Brewing Company Pipeline Porter, one of our Top 10 Fall Beers

AMERICAN PORTER
Kona Brewing Company "Pipeline Porter"


You can reach for your coffee and beer with the same hand when picking up this ale. Named for the Banzai Pipeline, the mecca of surfing, this porter is as dark as Hawaiian black lava. A distinctive roasty aroma stems from the intermingling of barley and freshly roasted 100 per cent Kona coffee that's grown at the Cornwell Estate on the Big Island just down the coast from where the Kona Brewery is located. This brew delivers an earthy complexity with hints of chocolate and caramel flavors. For an extra treat, sweeten your porter with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream for a creamy dessert float.

Price: $9 for six-pack of 12 oz.
