For beer lovers in Hawaii

The brewmaster at Maui Brewing Co. in West Maui is starting to mash up locally-grown, island tangerines for her next seasonal release, “set to hit a craft market near you in March.”

Owner Garrett Marrero has received an “uber-positive response from his Flyin HI.P.Hay released last year, and the GABF silver medal-winner, La Perouse White.” The La Perouse is the one that will be commissioned for the production line with fruit in it.

“Hand-crafted with Maui grown tangerines and coriander spice, the La Perouse is a most refreshing example of Belgian-style witbier brewed with sun-soaked aloha,” he says.

In addition, Hapuna Beach Prince Hotel on the Big Island along with the Hawaii Nui Brewing Co. there will present a Locavore Brewer’s Dinner.

Pegged Locally Brewed, Locally Grown, it will be held on Friday, Feb. 3rd at the Coast Grille Restaurant.
