With Spring less than 2 weeks away, the folks at Hellbent Brewing Company want to jumpstart your thoughts of warmer temps, longer days, and outdoors in the sun with a tropical friend. No, they aren’t talking about a dolphin but they are inviting you to take the plunge into a pint of their Pau Hana.
Inspired by daydreaming thoughts of Hawaii and the Pacific Islands, the brewers and ownership came up with the perfect word to describe their tropical India Pale Ale - “pau hana”. Pronounced, pow - hawna, the words roughly translate into “work is finished” or as some might call it, let’s get this evening started!
New in this edition of Hellbent’s POG (otherwise known as Passion Fruit, Orange, and Guava) in a glass, the brewers started with an India Pale Ale as their base beer, before adding POG and coconuts. The end result is a beer that has strong notes of orange citrus mixed with the fruits of the tropics. Brewed to be part of their Small Tank Series, this beer is only around for a short time.
Next Wednesday, March 11th, the brewery hopes you’ll exclaim “pau hana’ as you raise a toast to the oncoming warmth of Spring.

About Hellbent Brewing Company
Hellbent started with three of us – Jack Guinn, Chris Giles and Randy Embernate – longtime friends and restaurant industry veterans. For us, starting Hellbent was the natural (and the coolest) thing to do, growing directly out of our experience and our love of beer. For years we home-brewed and toiled over our business plan. Then, we met Brian Young – award winning brewer, co-owner and fast friend – who turned out to be the missing link. Within a couple months, we were on the hunt for the perfect location.
We wanted our brewery in Lake City, where Chris and Jack already called home, to contribute to the growing beer scene here. When we stepped into the old CM Hopkins building for the first time, we knew we had found our venue. Starting right away, we gutted it and began the transformation, building with reclaimed wood, steel, good humor, and a fair amount of muscle.
Finally, after years of fierce determination and hard work (including seven months of construction), we opened our doors in the thick of microbrew country. We didn’t do this alone. We are humbled by the support and kindness of our friends and family that helped us along the way. So, to our beer-loving brothers and sisters of the Pacific Northwest, cheers and welcome to Hellbent!
