HONOLULU (HI Now) - Hawai’i-based musician Lina Robins has officially launched a new chapter in her 20+ year career with the release of her debut solo single, “Kaululani,” on April 18, 2025. Known for her deep passion for Hawaiian music and R&B, Lina has been a respected voice in the music scene both locally and abroad. Her journey includes being an integral part of the Merrie Monarch Festival since 2011, bringing soulful vocals and authentic Hawaiian artistry to this celebrated event.
As Lina Robins celebrates this new beginning in music, Kona Brewing Hawai’i is also ushering in a season of innovation. This spring, Kona Brewing Hawai’i was proud to introduce two limited-edition seasonal beers: The Māhea Haze, a hazy IPA, and the Pili Pilsner. These unique brews, available statewide, are the first new releases from the Kailua-Kona brewery since it became independent in 2020.
