Kona Brewing Co.

Hawaii – flower leis, surfboards and gentle ukulele sounds wafting across the white sandy beach. It's just a shame that beer has no place at all in this chain of associations. Don't panic, this textual introduction is no longer entirely up to date. One would even think it was prehistoric, because since 1994 at the latest, Hawaii has no longer just been the world-famous surfers' paradise - it is also considered the nirvana of polite beer enjoyment and that is thanks to Kona.

Hawaii for everyone

Kona loves and lives Hawaii, which can be seen not only in the design of the labels with surfers, palm trees, beaches and wild mountain landscapes. The crown caps of the Longboard Island Lager and the Fire Rock Pale Ale stand out as a special gimmick. Hawaiian words are printed on a total of 50 different corks. Like Kona – the side of the coast facing the direction of the wind – which we know thanks to a short trip to Hawaii. But Kona not only spread love for their homeland, they also do something to protect it and preserve it for future generations. Kona has developed a well-developed concept for environmental protection and pays attention to sustainability and renewable energy when brewing. Luckily the sun almost always shines in Hawaii, otherwise we might have to go without the good beer!

Aloha Kona!

Cameron Healy founded Kona Brewing in 1994 with his son Spoon Khalsa. The two wanted to combine their love of Hawaii with their passion for good beers and developed their fine Hawaiian beer. Since then, several superlatives have been developed in relation to the size of the company's history, which has spanned over 20 years. Kona is one of the most successful craft beer breweries in the world: you can buy the good beer from Kona with the groovy labels in more than 25 countries worldwide. Then as now, the company's headquarters are in Kailua-Kona on Hawaii's largest island. The only new thing is the dimensions in which Hawaii's largest brewery now brews. And even though Kona is now part of a larger brewery group, the basic values and Hawaiian serenity have been retained. Aloha is still the all-encompassing motto, which means hello and goodbye as well as love and describes the Hawaiian way of life. Everything is easy and everything is connected - a little aloha couldn't hurt us Germans. Maybe a Big Wave Golden Ale will help?
