Kona Brewing relaunches Pipeline Porter nationally

Kona Brewing Co. has relaunched Pipeline Porter in the mainland just in time for National Coffee Day. The fan favorite beer is brewed with Hawaiian-grown coffee, and it originally launched in 2006 as one of the brewery’s first offerings. Pipeline Porter makes its much-awaited return after an extended vacation and waves of requests by the Kona Ohana where it will now become the inaugural beer in the Kona Classic Series, which will focus on featuring Kona fan favorites in limited-edition offerings.

 

More from a press release:

Influenced by the iconic Banzai Pipeline on the North Shore of Oahu, the beer offers drinkers a smooth coffee flavor, reminiscent of the tranquility offered by the Hawaiian coastline and excitement of the surf. With a label that features postcard-like visuals of the North Shore, including warm hues of orange and brown, drinkers will be transported to the beach from the moment they purchase the porter until the very last sip.

 

“We are so excited to once again share Pipeline Porter with our Ohana on the mainland and debut the Kona Classic Series” said Kona Brewing Co. Brand Manager, Vanessa Bennett. “While we are always receiving positive notes from our loyal fans about all of our beers and seltzers, the messages, emails and calls asking for us to bring back this easy-drinking beer have been unbelievable. We look forward to sharing many more favorites with our Ohana as part of the Kona Classic Series.”

 

Just in time for National Coffee Day on September 29th, Kona has partnered with @beautifulbooze to create an original Kona Pipeline Porter coffee cocktail. The only thing easier than making the cocktail is cracking open a Pipeline Porter.
