The Weekend Buzz is back in Texas for another session of shameless taste testing. This week, we'll catch some big brew waves with Kona Brewing Company.

Kona Brewing Company

Kona Brewing Company hails from the Big Island of Hawaii and has been making folks throw up the shaka since 1994. Today, they are one of the most popular craft beer brands in the world with beers like the Longboard Island Lager, Kua Bay IPA, Fire Rock Pale Ale, and their Big Wave golden ale.

This golden ale is an easy-drinking and refreshing brew that will make you think you just caught one gnarly wave and rode that bad boy into the sunset. It's crisp and light on the hops with a 4.4% ABV. Trust me, this beer is the one you want when you're kicking back on the sand and enjoying life.

I have been very fortunate to travel from Texas to Hawaii a few times. My wife and I stayed in Oahu, which is absolutely breathtaking. While there, I can't tell you how many of these I threw down because they were perfect for the humid climate you experience on the islands.

Actually, that's probably why they talked me into diving with sharks while we were in Oahu.

We'll crack these open at 3 pm this Friday on the next round of The Weekend Buzz! Aloha!

The Weekend Buzz is a pre-recorded show that airs every Friday from 3-7 on Rock 108 brought to you by our buddies over at Ben E. Keith Beverages, who along with Townsquare Media remind you to enjoy responsibly.
