HAWAIIAN BREWS
And The Most Southern Bar in U.S.A.

Back to the rental car: Before returning it at the Kona airport, we'd hoped to have dinner at the Kona Brewpub. But, it began to rain hard in Kona and our windshield wipers quit. Then, with our heads out the window, it was a 7-mile race in commuter traffic to the airport before it got dark. Never mind calling the rental company for a rescue - we didn't have all day.

Nevertheless, earlier we did have lunch and a Kona beer in Na'alehu at the "Shaka Restaurant and The Most Southern Bar in U.S.A." before our venture to South Point. Kona brews are outstanding and several of their products were tried while on the islands except their "coffee" flavored. Other local brands sampled were from the Mehaha (Mauna Kea Pale Ale) and Keoki (Keoki Gold) breweries - all nicely crafted.
