Maui Brewing Company….Hawaii’s BEST Craft Beer!

In 2005, Maui Brewing Company began the quest to brew handcrafted ales and lagers using the finest ingredients. Maui Brewing Company’s brewpub sources as many local products as possible to ensure the freshness; even the ketchup and mustard is house made! They even enjoy putting BEER in as many food items as they can to create a unique pub dining experience!!

Maui Brewing Co. has a strong commitment to the local economy, and deep concern for the environment. All of the packaging is in the most eco-friendly (and beer friendly) material possible. All Maui Brewing Co’s spent grain is given to local farmers for feed and compost, contributing to local sustainability.

2015 brings great things for Maui Brewing Company, with the completion of their brand new, high tech brewery!! Yes!! The Kihei brewery is done, and the tasting room is pouring the great beers being made right here on Maui! Food trucks are providing lunch, dinner, and sometimes dessert!
