The Hawaiian Islands are known for several beverages: Kona coffee, mai tais, Blue Hawaiians, and pineapple juice come instantly to mind, but the Aloha State also produces some of the best brews in the country. From Kona Brewing Company to Waikiki Brewing Company, these breweries produce some mighty delicious brews, but many of our all-time favorites are made at the largest craft brewery in the state: Maui Brewing Company. While you will find restaurant locations in Lahaina, Kailua, and Waikiki, it is their Kihei brewery that you absolutely must visit for a tasting and a tour.
Whether you’ve lived in Hawaii for just a few months or your entire life, you’ve likely tried one of the refreshing and delicious beers from Maui Brewing Company.
