Longboard in WaikikiJust another day in paradise. Enjoying an ice cold Longboard on Waikiki Beach makes it mo bettah. |
Black Rock LongboardI enjoyed a beautiful Aloha sunset on Maui with my wife and my Longboard. I just had to shoot a picture of this sunset at Ka'anapali Black Rock and the Longboard. |
A job well done...A job well done deserves reward... |
41st BirthdayMy family took me to the Kona Pub and Brewery for my birthday. The Castaway IPA was AWESOME as was the pizza. We ordered Pele's Own (my favorite), Puna Pie, and a cheese pizza for the kids. The food was fantastic, the service was excellent, and my birthday was perfect. Thanks KBC! |
It is noon somewhere!It may have been 9 AM island time but it was 2 PM back home! We spent three weeks in the islands (Hawaii, Kauai, Oahu) for our quadrennial (Hawaiian) family reunion and purchased mass quantities of Longboard Island Lager and Fire Rock Pale Ale. Very Good Beer! I found it in Florida but still waiting to find it in Illinois! |
Cast-offsWhile spending time on the Big Island last September with my nephew's amazing wedding party, kegs of Castaway IPA always seemed to be at arms length. Since returning to the mainland, I have experienced an unquenchable thirst due to the fact my beloved IPA isn't available. Oh yes...I will return. And I will be thirsty. |
Anniversary on the Island of HawaiiOur first stop off the plane was for lunch at the pub -- and we made several other stops at the brewery during our 30th anniversary trip in Feb '09. Coming back in May '10. Save a cold one for us! This time we'll have one of our sons along as he's returning from Australia and we're meeting him in Kailua Kona. A great way to get over jet lag don't you think? |
A Visit to the Kona BreweryOn the last few days of our special 25th wedding anniversary trip, my wife Beth and I enjoyed dinner and some great beer at the Kona Brewery on the Big Island! Mahalo |
Longboard I first discovered your beer at Stogies Ales & Fine Cigars. Was double rewarded when I won this awesome Kona Brewing Co. Longboard. Love the beer and the boards. Cheers from Franklin, TN! |
Liquid AlohaEnjoyed my visit to the Big Island, and Kona Brewing Company in March 2010. Enjoyed an ice cold Wailua Wheat Ale, and sure wish I had some here on the mainland!! Mahalo! |
Our pup Kona enjoying our 6-pack Kona boxIn Jan. '06, we got married in Kona and had our first taste of a Kona Brewing Co. beer. When we arrived back in Dallas, we were lucky enough to find it locally and have been enjoying it since. We recently added a Bouvier puppy to our family and named her "Kona". 11-week old Kona loves to play with our empty 6-pack Kona beer boxes, so I thought I'd pass this on. Thank you for making great beer and keep up the good work! |
Last sunset 2008Last sunset of 2008 on Big Island with a delicious Longboard Lager during holiday in Hawaii. Looking for Kona beer in Italy! Ciao! |
Will Posthole For PorterMy friend Michael (pictured) and I snowshoed in 5' of fresh snow up to 10,100' in the Spring Mountain Range outside of Las Vegas. On our decent we stopped to enjoy the finest porter on the planet. We will continue playing in the snow if you continue to make Pipeline Porter. |
Longboard SnowconesMy thirsty husky girl Wren enjoying a small token of love in the form of a Longboard snowcone. |
Soapy SudsI am a soaper and just started to use your beers in my soaps..AWESOME!! They work really well and just thought I would share another AWESOME use for your great beer :)

Socke Monkie Enjoys LongboardWe first discovered Kona beer when vacationing in Honolulu in September 2008. We have made it an anniversary tradition to return to Hawaii each year and one of the first things we search for is anything Kona Brewing Co. While my favorite is the Wailua Wheat, our traveling companion, Socke Monkie, enjoys the Longboard Lager. We're already looking forward to out trip to the Big Island this September and visiting Kona Brewing Co. We'll be sure to bring Socke by to say hi! |
Snowed in with our LongboardsThis was taken during our first snow storm of the Winter 2009, on our deck. We were enjoying the Liquid Aloha in our hot tub during the snow and thinking about our vacation in Hawaii. We will see all of you at the brewery soon. But, not soon enough. By the way thanks for shipping the Aloha to us. |
Pipeline Porter PleasureI had the pleasure to stumble upon your Pipeline Porter in the middle of Texas. Needless to say, I fell in love. I made a tribute doodle at my online community using a paint based drawing program. Mahalo, Shaun "Madhatter" G |
A Summer of LongboardThis is a pyramid of the empties that we had over our summer "Friday Night Barbeques". Great friends, great beer, and great times! And yes, that is all Longboard! |
Island Lager, Outer Banks and my Jeep...pricelessThis photo was taken Thanksgiving Day while hangin' out at Corolla Beach in the OBX. Longboard Island Lager was the perfect beer after a day of driving the Jeep in the sand. |
Always our first stopLayovers in the Honolulu Airport are always welcome when there's cold Longboard to be had! |
Celebrating 48 months of snowboardingI am enjoying my favorite beer while celebrating completing my 48th month of consecutive snowboarding at Chinook Pass in Washington State. |
Longboarding Lake TahoeWho needs big waves? |
Great SceneryI was on vacation on Oahu last week and drank a lot of your beer. I took the enclosed picture from our hotel room (after drinking a lot of your beer) and thought you guys might think it was cool! |
Canine ConsumptionWe chose your beer in a little town in Idaho, and even our dog drank it! See you in Hawaii in 2010! |
Working up a thirst in NHAfter a day of sun & surf on the New Hampshire seacoast, look forward to a cool Wailua Wheat to relax and balance off the surf session. Thanks for bringing Aloha to New England! |
A True VacationMy girlfriend Angela and I recently took a trip to Hawaii over the summer and I have to say one of my favorite parts was visiting your pub! We have been getting a couple of your brews up here in Colorado so Longboard has been my favorite beer for some time now. It was truly great to finally be able to try your "draft only" beers (Hula Hefeweizen being my favorite) Mahalo! |
Kona Brew and wedding ringsWe were married in December but waited until we came over for the Kona Brewers Festival in March for our rings. We had the rings made in the Kailua Kona Inn Marketplace. After picking them up we went over for dinner of Imu Pork and Castaway IPA. We will be back next year! |
Longboard BarI built this bar for our annual luau and by coincidence my wife found your beer! This is how we get our Aloha on in the central valley of California. The bar was a hit with the crowd and your beer is a hit with me! |
Honopu Ridge Brew'n'ViewWhile hiking around Kauai, my husband and I were sure to pack two Kona brews with us on each hike. This picture captures me getting ready to experience pure bliss while taking in the majestic view with a delicious brew after a long hike! Mahalo! |
Celebrating with Kona BrewEnjoying our favorite beer on vacation. This picture was taken after our engagement. And what better way to celebrate than with Kona Brew. |
Kylee and her Wailua WheatKylee, our 7 month old German Shepherd enjoying Wailua Wheat the only way she can. Mom and dad enjoy this beer while sitting out on our patio in Northern California missing the Kona coast. |
Fire on the MountainEnjoying a Fire Rock Pale Ale on the top of Mauna Loa on the Big Island! |
Feelin' the "Liquid Aloha" at Kona BreweryWe stayed in Volcano but drove 2.5 hours just to taste the goodness of the Hula Hef... well worth every second of the drive! I can now officially classify this beer as the best beer I have ever consumed. Will gladly travel thousands of miles once again to taste this Liquid Aloha! (P.S.- AZ would love to drink more Kona brews.) |
Our Hawaiian Honeymoon Happy HourMy new wife, Karen, and I just returned from Maui and Kauai for our honeymoon. This picture is just one of the memories of our amazing trip to one of the most perfect places in the world. This is just one of the Hawaiian Honeymoon Happy Hours we shared and my drink of choice is now Longboard Lager. I am hoping to find in Chicago, IL and drink a lot more of it. |
Longboarding in Cannon Beach, OREven with a great view of Haystack Rock, I still have Hawaii on my mind. Aloha, Brad |
Kona Boy enjoying the beach!Kona boy loves the ocean and sitting by the sea wall. He is not allowed to drink so we enjoy our favorite Kona brews for him. He would like to be the official dog of Kona Brewing Co. |
Missing My Big WaveNo matter where I go in the world it is always the same. If I can get my Big Wave or Fire Rock Ale everything is perfect. Although, if I can not find it then nothing seems the same. I really hope more companies start carrying some of the Aloha spirit. |
Kona LoveWe are all loving your beer. So now, over the past year or so, there's isn't one party or dinner that goes by without someone bringing the "Kona beer". My friends Dave and Jean are getting married this September. Can you guess which beer they're going to be serving at the reception? KONA BREWING CO. BEER! Coincidently, Jean and Dave had their first picture as an "official" couple taken right outside your brewery. |
