STEVE INSKEEP, HOST:

Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep. Years ago, I lived in Hoboken, N.J., and discovered Hoboken Beer, which according to the label was brewed in Connecticut.

Kona beer is made in Hawaii for Hawaiians. Although labels show if you buy it elsewhere, Hawaii's pride is made in Oregon or Tennessee. It's MORNING EDITION.
