Hawaii's most famous craft brewery feels like hanging with friends on their lanai - which is exactly where you want to sit on Pawai Place in Kailua-Kona. The wood-fired pizzas are the real star here, especially that garlic oil base that reviewers can't stop raving about. The Cubano sandwich is another sleeper hit that'll have you thinking about it for days.
This Big Island brewery pours Kona-only releases you can't get on the mainland, like their seasonal Spruce IPA and Mahea Haze. The brewery tours are free and generous with tastings - plus you're drinking beer made literally feet away. Fair warning: the indoor seating gets cramped and loud, so aim for that coveted covered patio spot.
💡 Insider Tip
