Waikiki Beach is probably the most legendary beach in the world. Fine white sand, coconut palms, a lush green mountain range in the background and crystal clear, warm water. Waikiki Beach is the number 1 destination for those seeking relaxation and sun worshipers, but the tropical beach is also a hotspot for surfers. Before the longboard took over the streets as an extended skateboard, surfers used it to plow through the waves off Hawaii.
Surfing is a sport that is deeply rooted in Polynesian culture. Surfing on massive longboards originated on Waikiki Beach and is still practiced there today. When there are waves, surfers have the privilege to show off their skills on the board.
The Hawaiian brewery Kona has developed a beer for the end of the day after a day on the water. Their Longboard Island Lager is a crisp, golden lager that was aged for five weeks before bottling. Maturation at cool temperatures ensures an incomparably smooth mouthfeel and creates a round and soft taste experience. The lager is extraordinarily soft and wonderfully refreshing. The wonderfully malty body is the basis for a delicate, delicate and slightly spicy hop aroma; the 4.6% alcohol content is elegantly integrated into the well-balanced taste.
The lager tastes particularly good with light, summer dishes such as chicken with grilled vegetables, pizza or a crisp sandwich with lettuce, bacon, tomatoes and cheddar.
