<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This weekend, Saturday March 10th, the world famous Kona Brewers Festival will be held at the King Kamehameha Luau Grounds. We're just as excited as most attendees, and we love entertaining brew connoisseurs and amateur beer enthusiasts alike.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">At Ali'i Buzz we're proud to offer a great selection of the Kona Brewing Company's beer lineup, including:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Longboard - Lager</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #663606; line-height: 16px;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Longboard Island Lager is a smooth refreshing lager fermented and aged for five weeks at cold temperatures to yield its exceptionally smooth flavor. A delicate, slightly spicy hop aroma complements the malty body of this beer."</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #663606; line-height: 16px;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span style="line-height: 16px;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Big Wave - Golden Ale</b></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #663606; line-height: 16px;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Big Wave is light golden ale with a subtle fruitiness and delicate hop aroma. A smooth, easy drinking refreshing ale. The lightly roasted honey malt contributes to the golden hue of this beer and also gives a slight sweetness that is balanced out by our special blend of hops."</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #663606; line-height: 16px;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span style="line-height: 16px;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Fire Rock - Pale Ale</b></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #663606; line-height: 16px;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Fire Rock Pale Ale is crisp, refreshing “Hawaiian-style” pale ale. Its signature copper color results from the unique blend of specialty roasted malts. The pronounced citrus-floral hop aroma comes from the liberal amounts of Galena, Cascade & Mt.Hood hops added to each brew."</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #663606; line-height: 16px;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span style="line-height: 16px;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Koko Brown - Nut Brown Ale</b></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #663606; line-height: 16px;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"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."</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #663606; font-size: x-small; line-height: 16px;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><br />

The waves have been wicked these past few days; so the beaches and boardwalks have been packed with visitors from all over the world. Kona businesses always appreciate our visitors, wherever they hail from: the mainland, Japan, New Zealand, Australia, China and more!Yet, we've noticed a huge influx of travelers from places as far away as Europe (now that's quite a trip!). We're glad that our European friends have come to taste a bit of the island life. Bringing with them lots of interesting conversation, perspectives, and a wonderful energy. The Buzz has always been an eclectic mix of influences and inspiration, and these visitors from Poland, Spain, Germany and alike are only adding to this eclectic energy. We would like to say thank you to all of our European friends for supporting Kona and the cafe!<br />
<br />
Come on in a European favorite... Tapas! These light meals, better known to islanders as pupu or appetizers, are a fun way to share a quick bite to eat with friends over coffee, wine or beer (and we've got all of those too!). Our menu boasts inspirations from some of our visitors' homeland dishes like Hummus & Pita, Bruschetta, Edamame, Meatballs in Marinara, Mozzarella & Tomato, and so many more!<br />

<br />
This week brought many Hawaiians and those traveling something thats truly a winter special - humpback whales! Better known to Hawaiians as "kohola", North Pacific humpback whales start their annual fall migration in Alaska with some traveling to Mexico, Japan, & almost sixty percent traversing the great pacific toward sunny and warm Hawaii. At a one-way distance of 3,500 miles, thier journey takes about four to eight weeks. These whales are considered by Hawaiians to be an "amakua", or family guardian, and their arrival is considered sacred and special. Many kohola are born in the warm winter hawaiian waters, and because of this they're considered "kama'aina"or native born Hawaiian. Considering these births and the majestic male whale calls, the kohola bring a flood of renewed and transformative energy to the islands - perfectly inspiring for our the new year transition!<br />

<br />
One of the greatest sights this migration brings is whale breeching. From our homes, lanais, boats, and even along the coast; islanders can watch young whales learn to breach with their mothers. This is an amazing natural wonder, especially watching youngsters breech five, six, seven, or even eight times in a row.<br />
<br />
Here at the Cafe we're taking inspiration from the kohola, by transforming and reinventing some of our menu. With 2012 bringing so much positive change, we're taking a more conscious approach to food. The Buzz is now featuring Organic Mixed Greens in our freshly Enlightened Wraps and Salads!<br />
<br />
We'd also like to introduce our new and improved Tropical Smoothie. This light and delectable favorite now has a boost of Vitamin C and Potassium, provided by our own mix of Organic Strawberry-Banana and Pineapple juice. The result is much more refreshing than our old recipe, not to mention it's much more sustaining with only natural sugar - no added sugar!<br />
<br />
Both of these conscious changes to our menu offer healthy ways to nourish body, mind, and soul.<br />
<br />
Let us know what conscious changes the new year and whale migration have inspired you to make in your life!<br />
<br />
Mahalo!<br />
