Lanikai Pillbox Porter
Lanikai's signature porter — 6.5% ABV, brewed with real Hawaiian vanilla for a soft warming character on top of the classic roasted coffee-and-chocolate porter frame. Named for the Lanikai Pillbox hike above the brewery. The Hawaii-vanilla note gives it a locality no mainland porter can copy.
