Keep a Eye Out for Maui Brewing Co.

On quite a few occasions over the last few weeks I've come across Maui Brewing Co. in my various scanning of craft beer news on the Internet. It wasn't until today that I actually gathered some initiative to find out why I've been seeing this brewery being tossed around.

Apparently Maui Brewing has finally made its first appearance on the east coast, per The Full Pint. Maui Brewing has ventured deep enough into the mainland already, as it has a firm presence in states such as California, Colorado and Texas.

Some interesting tidbits about this brewery include the fact that all of the ingredients used in its beer are totally Hawaiian and that its beer is the top-selling craft brew in the state.

Just taking a look at the titles of a few of their brews makes me water in my mouth a little. Take Coconut Porter for example. Maui's beer description reads:

"Our Coconut Porter is a fresh, handcrafted robust porter brewed with six varieties of barley, hops, and hand-roasted coconut. It begins with a malty-toasted coconut aroma followed by a rich silky feel which tastes of dark malt, chocolate, and hints of coffee."

How would you like to sit back after a day of work/school and take a few sips of that? I'm already craving this beer and I haven't even seen it yet. 

If you read the description for Mana Wheat you see that it's an American style wheat ale, but infused with pineapple. Yes, you just asked yourself the very same question I did earlier, or at least some form of it. "There is such a thing as pineapple beer?"

This brewing company looks to be on the rise and appears as if its beers can catch on and create a decent following here on the east coast.
