Perhaps one of the first widely known coconut craft beers and one of the hoppier coconut beers to boot, CoCoNuT PorTeR is a robust porter brewed with six varieties of malted barley, hops, and hand-toasted coconut. This Hawaiian craft brewery has made a name for itself with this coconut porter. “Koko means coconut in Papiamento, a common language in parts of the Carribean, while Buni means coffee in Swahili, a common language in southeastern Africa.” Look for this beer, Creature Comforts’ first seasonal, in autumn months. “The name actually comes from the raw ingredients we use in the beer,” says the brewery website. The Koko Buni is brewed and aged on toasted coconut, cocoa nibs from a local Athens, Georgia, chocolatier Condor Chocolates, and coffee from nearby roaster 1000 Faces. It’s not every day you find a milk porter. It’s a year-round offering from NoDa Brewing Company (Charlotte, North Carolina) that’s brewed with cacao nibs and coconut that’s toasted at the brewery. Here’s another chocolate and coconut porter that comes in a 16-ounce can. This beer, which won a 2014 Great American Beer Festival award in the Chocolate Beer category, comes out once a year in 12-ounce cans. This Irish porter is brewed with dark chocolate and extra dark caramel malts, coconut, and pure liquid cacao from Cholaca in Boulder, Colorado.
Here are seven beers brewed with the flavor of the year. Personally, I’ve observed an emergence of coconut beers at breweries. Firmenich, a Swiss company in the perfume and flavor business, credits coconut’s trendiness to the emergence of coconut water at yoga studios.
Many trend-watchers have declared coconut 2016’s flavor of the year.
