Oh Happy Day #1 – Pipeline Porter
Posted by dugpark on September 9, 2008
Yes… it is true. We received our first sample last week. The fine folks at Kona Brewing Company and their PR team at Maxwell PR sent us a pack of two Pipeline Porters and some 100% pure Kona Coffee. Man I love this beer… read the review for one of our first true Hall of Fame beers. 
Can I just tell you that this was truly a momentous occassion… and for some reason the first song that came to mind as I was grinning from ear to ear was Oh Happy Day. I was struck with the need to sing this song all around the house and throughout the cul-de-sac as I took crusty looks from family and friends.
Luckily, I have broad shoulders and their mocking didn’t phase me… for I, and Po, are truly blessed individuals for being granted the privelege of this wonderful gift.
Thank you Kona Brewing Company and Maxwell PR!!

I live in Honolulu and was just at the Kona Brew Pub over in the Hawaii Kai neighborhood (10 minute drive east of Diamond Head). If you like their Pipeline Porter, you’d love the Coffee Stout seasonal beer I had. I’m not sure of the alcohol %, but it was smooth, viscous, with a really nice coffee/beer flavor mix that was really nice. Easy to drink, but it definitely goes to the head. Tastes kinda like Pipeline Porter but richer, with fewer bubbles and more body. I’d definitely get it again if it’s still around the next time I’m over that way.

I now have a real reason to come to Hawaii…
Other than the tourism piece… 
Do you recall the name, by chance?
