Maui Brewing Co. in California

Maui Brewing Co. is now here. 33 Bevmos have it.
They do make an OK IPA. Have not tried the other two yet.

The CoConut porter is decent as well, but its like close to $8 for a 4-pack of cans! I'd say give it a try if you enjoy a darker beer.

Yeah, just lettin peeps know that it is available.
It is not stellar by any means!

They describe cans as a better way to preserve beer. (my own words) I prefer glass.
Like I said, the IPA was OK. I have never had better than Pliney (Elder or Younger) or Alpine's Pure Hopiness.

The cost of Maui's beers are prohibitive.

I Second that, i had tried the Coconut Porter at last years Stone Brewery festival, & 1 of the top 3 beers at the festival.

My 2 cents anyways....

Stupid question, is there a hint of coconut in the beer?

Yes - Toasted Coconut! At first it seems to be just a hint of it, it basically tasted like a porter. But I was sipping slowly and as it warmed up the toasted coconut flavor did come through more. I like it!

We found at the BevMo in Poway (San Diego area). The Mission Valley store had been sold out and it sounded like they thought it might be a little while before they got some more in.
