El Guapo
A golden ale brewed with agave, local limes and cilantro: easy drinking, with a citrus nose and a nice peppery finish. At 5.8% ABV and 25 IBU, El Guapo comes from Honolulu Beerworks, the craft brewery opened in Kaka‘ako in 2014, whose Kalihi taproom adds rotating food trucks to the mix. Locally sourced ingredients have been a focus there since day one.
