Episode Description: Aloha, homebrewers! In this episode of The Hotbreak, Ben takes us on a tropical adventure inspired by his recent trip to Hawaii, where he discovered the magic of fruit-forward island beers. From the juicy sweetness of pineapple to the tart, aromatic punch of passion fruit, we discuss how these tropical flavors can transform your next brew.

Ben and Andrew explore the best beer styles for fruit additions, the brewing challenges of pineapple (and how to fix them), and why passion fruit is the perfect match for hazy IPAs and sours. Plus, Ben reveals his latest brewing project—developing a Hawaiian-inspired beer kit that captures the taste of paradise in a glass.

Whether you're dreaming of island flavors or looking to up your fruit-brewing game, this episode is packed with tips, insights, and a whole lot of inspiration. Grab a beer, sit back, and talk about brewing in paradise!
