The Beer: Koko Brown from Kona Brewing Company in Kailua Kona, Hawaii.
From the Brewer: Is there anything more iconic of the lush tropics than the coconut? The delicious heart of this island treasure has a nutty, toffee flavor and aroma that sends you straight to the beaches of Paradise. Kick back with a Koko Brown, brewed with real toasted coconut, and savor the mahogany color and smooth, roasty malt taste. Koko Brown pairs well with coconut and caramel flavors, such as Thai curries, BBQ meats and carne asada. Its refrehsing nutty aroma makes for the perfect beer after a day on the water.

Eli, I really respect your views on beer and the beer industry, but baseball is another story. The Phillies have a better rotation bar-none. You guys have some really bright spots, but 1 through 5 the Phils dominate you.
Hahaha! Ok, let's go over the facts here, Nate. What did the Giants do to Cliff Lee in the World Series? Oh ya, beat his @ss TWICE! And I do mean beat his @ss... to the tune of 9 ERs in two WS games. NINE!
But before getting there, the G's - and their pitching staff - beat what NL team? That's right... The Pillows. Er, I mean the Phills. ;) Beat Halladay, Hamels and Oswalt - twice (he was brought in at the end of game 4 and took the loss, then started and lost in game 6).
We'll see what happens this year, but I still contend that the G's have a better staff top to bottom. Hey, who's your closer this year? That's right. ;)
Cheers!
