Beer Pairing 101

When most people think about pairing food and beverage, wine is the first thing that comes to mind. We at Kona Brewing Co., however, would argue that beer is the better accompaniment! The craft beer movement has challenged brewers to create a more flavorful, interesting, and exciting beverage to sip, making beer the perfect companion to good food. Go ahead, try it out! We have taken the liberty of pairing our award-winning Liquid Aloha with some tasty food items to give you a few ideas. But you don't have to follow our path-explore on your own! When you dive into this experience, first take a sip of your beer, then taste your food, and be sure to ask yourself, "Do the flavors of this brew pair well with this amazing food?" Hipa hipa! (Hawaiian for "Cheers!")
