      That's exactly what our waitress advised when suggesting Stella to us, also mentioning that it's rather mainstream; just not in Hawaii. You can tell it would be quite bitter if not chilled properly.

      Aggressive advertising campaigns are an important part in the highly competitive beer brewing industry. A component of that being the coasters they provide to their purveyors for service. Also popular with collectors.

      Here's a few cool designs...

      That could be interesting.. try a Corona with an orange instead of a lemon.

        Can't wait to try some local ones. Fruity? The only beer I just couldn't finish was Miller light. Company party - it was either that or Bud. Hid it in a potted plant. As for Stella their advertising campaign in Europe is rather annoying (or at least it was so a few years back). They were playing the sophisticated card. Honestly, if it wasn't such a good beer...

          Is red hook and pyramid made locally?

          For those of you looking for certain kinds of beer, you should be able to do special orders with your local longs liqour clerk. I used to take special orders for Jolt Cola and all kinds of beer, by the case. Markup is about 25%.

          I used to drink MGD, I preffered it to other domestics, speciifally the dry or ice version they had. New Castle is awesome, Asahi, and the others mentioned are good too. Someone mentioned Murphys, I'd recommend Boddington, which is only in a pub can w/nitro tab (yellow can at safeway) which is a full bodied creamy lager beer.
          One of the funniest labels I've seen is "Alimony Ale: The bitterest beer" at Ward Liqour.
          I used to bring in some rotgut called Storm, which was barleywine beer, 12.5% and as thick as syrup. Yuck.

          Has anyone tried to make beer before?

              The first time I drank Blue Moon, I thought I was licking plastic. But I drink it all the time nonethless (sans orange).

              Oh, and Fat Tire. I forgot all about that. That is le yum, too.

                    There's a complete list of breweries in Hawaii on this beerme.com page (current as of 8/06).

                    Hilo's Mehana label looks interesting. Anyone ever try that? I see they make Roy's Private Reserve label for his restaurants.

I used to like St. Pauli Girl and Guinness, but now I like Guinness in stew and not to drink out of a bottle.

                      Is Miuland in Seatle? Thats what had me confused.
                      I think I tried Mehana, first time I liked it, 2nd time (another day) not so much. Miss Alii Brewery.

                          Which style is your favorite? I usually like wheat beers and ales

                          How do you prefer it served? off the draft if possible, never in the can...

                          What's your favorite label(s)? All time favorite is Sam Adams Cherry Wheat, but I can't find it anywhere! Otherwise, love the Newcastle. I also really like the Rogue label. They've got some good ones. KBC's Lilikoi Wheat is delicious, as is Brew Moon's Moon Berry Wheat ( I once described it as Fruity Pebbles milk with a beer taste). Sounds weird, but even if you don't like beer, you can drink these.

                          If you haven't heard already, The YardHouse Restaurant just opened up this past Sunday and they have 128 beers on tap!!!!, and it's awesome. I went to both nights of their preview party and would have bought the beer if it wasn't already free. Plus they have good food to go with it. It's in the Waikiki boardwalk, real close to the Halekulani. Check it out!

                              Speaking of oranges, I remember a commercial jingle from the 70s for a beer called Oranjeboom - was it Dutch? - to the tune of "Ta-ra-ra Boom De-ay". I was too young to drink the stuff at the time, so I have no idea whether the orange motif was purely decorative or whether the beer actually had an orange taste.

                                The orange is for the orange tree of the Dutch royal crest. No orange flavor but a very good and inexpensive beer. Excellent with meals.
