Hapa Ale, an island-style American Brown Ale, originated in the British style of blending different beers to create a single unique brew.  The resulting beer is considered an American Brown Ale.  Dark mahogany-colored, bold, malty backbone with balanced hop bitterness.  Our Hapa is the 2010 Silver Medal winner in the American Brown Ale category at the World Beer Cup.  It is also the Gold Medal winner in the American Brown Ale category at the 2010 US Beer Open. In July 2011, we won the Bronze Medal at the 2011 US Beer Open in the American Brown Ale category.
