Where Kona brews!

Since we first opened our doors (and kettles!) over 30 years ago, Kona Brewing has been committed to making locally brewed beers in an environmentally responsible way.

When we outgrew our original brewery, we wanted a way to expand without putting pressure on our island’s precious resources. In 2021, Kona Brewing proudly opened a new 30,000-square-foot sustainable brewery just down the street from the Original Kona Brewery & Pub. With an annual brewing capacity of up to 100,000 barrels and filling locally-made cans on our own canning line, we can efficiently bring fresh beer to the islands throughout the year. Staying local also decreases our carbon footprint and overall impact on the environment.

Our packaged beers are available in your favorite stores, bars and restaurants across Hawaiʻi. Many of our brewerʻs special draft beers are only available at our pubs. Make sure to grab a pint or fill a growler for home; they don’t stick around for long!
