Hawaii

sloshed · Posted: Thu - Aug, 25 2011 - 8:57 am Post subject: Hawaii

After 3 years with no vacation, I am finally getting one. Will be heading to Oahu and staying on the north shore for 10 days. Will have internet, but might be a little slower than usual on adding beer submissions.

Haven't had too many Hawaiian beers that I have liked, but I am looking forward to going to the Kona brewpub and trying some new ones. Also, Oahu is much more populated than most islands I have been to, so there is a good selection of other beers available.

If there are no good beers, I would stick to Blue Hawaiians (rum, blue curacao, cream of coconut, pineapple juice).

You can also add Pina Coladas and Margaritas to that list. Damn, I just had breakfast and I'm getting thirsty. Is it 5 O'clock somewhere?

Have a good time J. I love Kona beers. They have a brewhouse way over here, up in NH, so the beer is always good and fresh.

I've never actually been there.. But the bottles we get say they are brewed in Kona, and in Portsmouth, NH. The Firerock Pale is pretty good, and the passionfruit beer they have is good too, without being too sweet or fruity. Surprisingly good blend of flavors.. Drink From Flask

What an ordeal it was to get here. We had to fly from Portland to Seattle to get a part for the plane. That's reassuring, right? 9 hours later we left for Hawaii and missed our first afternoon because of the delay. Yeah, I know I am a bitch and I'm whining about finally being in Hawaii. I suck.

So far, the beer hunting has been sad, but I am on the North Shore and there is much less going on here. The best part is that we are in Laie which is where their BYU campus is and they don't even sell alchohol here. When we get down to Honolulu, I have read that we might find a few stores with good stockpiles of Japanese beer I haven't had.

That beeradvocate site listed a market up here in their beerfly section. We checked it out today and it was a total bust. Good job Beeradvocate. My guide will not include that mistake!

Last night while we slept, our house was robbed... Out of the 4 of us, 3 of us had our wallets stolen, 3 cameras, a laptop, and probably some other shit. Guess we forgot to lock a door. Good times... Cry

Do you mean your house back on the mainland or where you're staying in Hawaii? Either way, that sucks.

I hope everything works out o.k. That must take away from trying to have a nice vacation while dealing with that kind of crap. Sometimes the best laid plans just go to s***. Hopefully, you can still manage to find some fun while you're there.
Give me beer
