It’s a Compulsion
Though the air’s frigid
And the snow is piled high,
Brewers have to brew.

It’s Always Grilling Weather
Six inches of snow
Keeps my beer nice and cold while
I grill the rib eyes

Winter Luau
With Fire Rock Pale
And Crock Pot Kalua Pig
I escape the cold
Written by Captain Hops.
References: When it’s cold and icy here on the east coast, I dream about being back on the Big Island. I spent a summer there during my college years earning my keep by doing landscaping, working in a hotel rec department, and busing tables at luaus. It was a time of hard work, mischief, and adventure.
Sometimes, when I’m stuck here in the ice and snow, I try to get back there in my head. All it takes is a six pack of Fire Rock Pale Ale from Kona Brewing and some slow cooked Kalua Pig. Alright, I haven’t dug an imu in my yard and I really wouldn’t be able to finish eating a whole pig by myself. But this crock pot recipe seems to do the trick. Aloha!
