Alcohol the worst drug

It may not have enough caffeine to cause the controversy. I have tried two different coffee stouts from microbreweries (one from MO, one from MI). I prefer stouts, but they both tasted terrible and had no noticeable caffeine. I'm sure there was some in there, but it didn't do anything to keep me awake and I have a low tolerance for caffeine.

Looks like you'll have to go with the Four Loko; found this review which mentions the lack of caffeine:


Kona Pipeline Porter | Lost in the Beer Aisle

I don’t usually go for porters, but this beer truly sticks out from the crowd and I can say it’s one of my favorites.

Kona Brewing Company, founded in Hawaii, prides itself on using local flavors. True to this coal, Pipeline is flavored with 100% Kona coffee – and you can tell from your first sip. It tastes remarkably like an iced coffee, and is very crisp and refreshing.

Pipeline is Kona’s fall and winter seasonal brew, but that’s a shame because it would be perfect for a late summer afternoon. With a 5.4% ABV, Pipeline packs a little bit of a punch, but is very drinkable, not thick and filling like many porters can be. Visually, Pipeline is quite dark, but does not have a thick foamy head.

Even though it’s made from Kona coffee, don’t worry about the caffeine carrying over during the brewing process. I was lucky enough to visit the Kona brewery in Kona, Hawaii this summer, and according to the guide on our brewery tour, you’d need to drink over 50 Pipelines to equal the caffeine you get from a single cup of coffee.

This is a good beer – but unless you really love coffee, you won’t want to enjoy an entire six pack in one sitting.



Since I really love coffee (even Coffee Soda) I'll pick up some of this if I can find it. From what I have read, Pipeline Porter should be available in 18 Western States as well as some states on the East Coast which is because Kona now brews some of its beers at the Red Hook brewery in New Hampshire.

FOUND IT!!

Just got back from getting a 6-pack of Pipeline Porter ... $8.69, including deposit.

Got 'em on ice and will give it a try later when it's nice and cold.


Picked up another New England-brewed coffee beer along with a Mocha and a
Chocolate Beer.

And a Harpoon Winter Warmer Ale (to go with the Xmas Snus if I ever get it)...
"a full-bodied rich ale that uses a touch of cinnamon and nutmeg to achieve
its spirited flavor."
