KONA HANALEI IPA LAUNCHES ON DRAUGHT

Session IPA with native Hawaiian fruits now available on draught UK wide – with a beach party to celebrate!

After the successful launch of Kona Hanalei IPA in the UK last summer, Cave Direct are excited to announce the launch of the draught version at the Beer Merchants Tap on 5th May.

Brewed with native Hawaiian fruits passionfruit, orange and guava, Hanalei session IPA is the perfect summer beer combining big juicy flavours while still being incredibly drinkable. On draught the fruitiness is extra pronounced, with some very gentle tartness. It is a beer born to be drunk by the pint.

Head of marketing, Jonny Garrett, says: “As soon as we tried Hanalei in bottle we knew we needed to get it in on draught. It’s crazy drinkable and a great partner for Big Wave on the bar as it’s richer in flavour but still really accessible.”

To celebrate the launch and the start of summer (fingers crossed) Cave will host a weekend-long Hawaiian party at the Beer Merchants Tap with deck chairs, lanterns, ukulele tunes, and a special menu from pop-up Salty Loins using the Kona beers. The festivities kick off at midday on Saturday 5th May. Members of the press are welcome to come down for a free pint of Hanalei – just show us this press release on your phone!
