Let me just say what a great name for a beer. Puts me in just the right mindset\u2013I can just imagine myself sitting on a beach somewhere, beer in hand with my feet propped up, without a care in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Full Disclosure: I\u2019m writing this post at the local Panera a solid two hours after downing Longboard Island Lager along with several slices of DiGiorno, slow-rising crust pizza in my girlfriend\u2019s apartment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now James told me beforehand the company that brews Longboard Island Lager also brews several other \u201cisland\u201d beers. So I checked out the Kona Brewing Company\u2019s site to find out a little more about this sexy Hawaiian beverage. According to the Web site, a typical Kona beer is a \u201ccomplex, full tasting beer with a relaxed style and charm that expresses its Hawaiian roots.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fair enough. But what does that taste like?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ll tell you what it tastes like\u2013it tastes like a damn good summer beer. It\u2019s light and refreshing enough to drink outside by a pool or at the beach, yet bold enough to drink with a variety of foods (DiGiorno pizza included). It\u2019s taste is pure having been brewed using the basic ingredients of malt, hops, yeast, and water and it\u2019s got a great pour, beautiful color and a fantastic aroma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re Been not into the Bud Light Limes and Miller Chills of the world, but still want a beer that makes you feel like you\u2019re at the beach, I\u2019d definitely suggest a Longboard Island Lager. If its \u201ccomplex, yet relaxed style and charm\u201d don\u2019t win you over\u2013maybe the good life just isn\u2019t your style.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ah, Longboard Island Lager.
