Maui Brewing Company

Awesome selection of brews on tap. The Coconut Porter is almost worth the flight to Maui alone! Pulled pork, grass fed beef and happy hour flat breads are all worth a taste.

As a foodie, this is one of the places to go if you’ve had enough loco moco and spam musubi during your stay (of course they have a doctored-​up loco moco on the menu if you still have the craving). Our favorites are the ahi cobb, black rock dip, and tots dynamite, but all the food we’ve tried has been incredibly tasty! They have a wide selection of beer, as well as locally made beer (Pau Hana Pilsner seems to be a crod favorite, it’s definitely a go to for me!) and I really like the beer cocktails they make. Maui Brewing Co is super creative with their food and definitely one of our favorite spots to eat on the island.

Parking was easy. Located in a plaza. Kids are ok.
Lots of great food and even better drinks.
Food: loved the pouting and tots. Fish taco and loco moco top notch. Nachos with pork was also a winner. Flatbread pizza was meh.
Many flights. About 4 tasters for like $ 8.
Something for everyone. I had their root beer.
Didn’t have room for dessert. But check out their fun beer-​cocktails interesting takes on traditional cocktails.
Their fountain machine seemed off. Pepsi products and iced tea were not good.

Still a great spot great beer and we had a great server Beef amazing as always Kahula pork sliders great burger sliders a bit dry prob wouldn’t order again Adult Mac and cheese with housemaid chorizo so amazing also wedge salad def worth getting Lively crowd reasonably priced

If you like various kinds of beer you have to try this place! They have a whole wall of offerings to choose from not counting the ones on the menu. The place is pretty big and good for viewing any sporting events as they have a few televisions placed throughout.
The food here is tasty with me trying out their pulled pork slider. The sauce on the slider was what made the difference. It was sweet and a bit spicy at the same time. Very good and wish I could’ve had more food to dip that sauce with. The only negative about eating here was the price. It was overpriced and to me wasn’t worth it even though the food was tasty. For the slider it as $ 5 for only one small portion with no side items even. I saw other food items on the menu and they were also expensive for what you would expect at a bar restaurant.
Even though this is a brewery I didn’t give one of their beers a try as I had a root beer float. It was advised that they made their own root beer which got me hooked. The float was nice and creamy with the added ice cream and made for a very refreshing drink after a day at the beach.
Service here was nice and quick plus we didn’t have any wait when we arrived to be seated. Good for a first time try, but will be trying other places next time on our next vacation here.

First off: I got a great drink and sliders. Hooray. My husband and his friends all enjoyed beers and whatever else.
What I really appreciated was the FAMILY atmosphere. I have 3 kids. My friends have kids. We all gathered at a long family style table, high-​chairs and all.
It was a great time all around

My wife and I arrived here after a packed day of driving around the island and hiking the Waihe’e Trail. You can’t go wrong with any of the beers, but my wife’s favorite is the Bikini Blonde and I have an affinity for the Coconut Porter. There are multiple flatscreen TVs for watching the day’s live sporting events, and plenty of seating to avoid a wait during most times of day/​night. The best/​most interesting facet however is their ice bar. They literally coat ice on top of the bar for you to place your glass on and maintain its cool. It’s an awesome concept that I have yet to see implemented anywhere else. If you’re in the mood for or are craving some quality craft beer, Maui Beer is your best bet (not that you have many local options, but still lol).

Yep, its all about the beer! But the food selection was good as well. Locals are friendly with lots of Aloha.

The waiter came to the table & said «The kitchen closes in 15 minutes & we don’t want anyone to stay past 10:15» I ordered the large nachos to which he said «Are you sure they’re really big». I was like perfect! The nachos came & weren’t big. I came back two days later & ordered the same thing but the nachos were much bigger. So our piece of shit waiter gave me the small ones because I openly said he was being rude for basically assuming we were going to camp all night. I wanted to leave a $ 5 tip on $ 110 because he didn’t care about our experience but my husband left 15%. I’m so mad I want to reverse the charges! Lazy ass piece of shit! The food was good though which made having a shitty waiter so much worse.

Kristen and Owen at the ice bar are slammed — and they still make time to make sure you drink and sample — thanks I now have a new favorite y’all made my night

We had such a good time the first time we came here, we came back a second time on our trip!
The beer selection is great and it even changed between our first and second trip and they were only a few days apart. I can highly recommend the Bikini Blonde Lager, the CoCoNut PorTeR, the Liahana Brown, and a bunch of other roving beers you can only get at the brewpub.
Food wise we got the Pipkaula and the phyllo fried brie which are must haves!
We also enjoyed the Poke taco bowl, the MAC burger, the adult mac and cheese, the wild hog flatbread, and the farm flatbread.

Beer lovers rejoice!
I think the last time I came to this strip mall was 8 years a go. Maui Brewing Company was not the island beer giant that it is now. In fact, they didn’t have a full bar at that time.
With that being said I remember the food being repulsive and the service worse than the food. Happy to report that I had a much better experience this time.
I’m pretty sure they overhauled their menu and the food is quite good now (but some items are definitely overpriced). $ 20 for adult mac & cheese, ridiculous. Nachos were delicious but they nickel and dime you for all the toppings…
We sat at the bar and the two bartenders were very attentive and kept our beers bottomless.
THE ICE SHELF, has anyone else seen this technology at another bar? I haven’t. The frosty ledge keeps your beer at just the right temp.
Bikini Blonde-​favorite
Mana Wheat– has fresh pineapple juice
U’ala– has Hawaiian sweet potato
Hot Blonde– chili beer
Beers priced at $ 6, on Wednesday they have logo day. If you’re wearing a Maui Brewing Company t-​shirt beers are $ 4.
Also, they offer tours at their Kihei brewery. The bartender said it is $ 15 cover, you get a tasting and a free beer from this location. Sounds like a great deal to me.
Whoever is designing t-​shirts and souvenirs is doing an amazing job! There is a great selection of items to take home. But not all sizes were available. (Save money!)
Make sure to sit at the bar, order a frosty beer, and grab a Maui brew gift to take home.

We were a party of 7 on a Wednesday night. They were busy, and we were told an hour wait, ugh! They had us seated and drinks to the table in about 35 minutes. Pretty good.
Great beer selection, great menu selection and probably the best burger I had in a while! The Kanapali burger, 50% bacon and beef was, like noted, off the hook good! But, everyone enjoyed there meal our server was excellent.
Negatives, it’s really loud! Tough to hold a conversation with a large party. And the tables, booths and general layout could be improved.

After walking off the beach we enjoyed some cold brews at Maui Brewing Company! We did a small sampler and tried four of their local brews. Each one was tasty, full-​bodied, and icy cold.
A great touch to the place is the icy bar and the friendly servers. There was a Michigan State football game on so the atmosphere was fun. Being from Pittsburgh I felt at home.
We didn’t order any food but definitely plan to go back before our vacation ends to try the tots & wings!

Found this restaurant on Unilocal,it had some great reviews and the pictures of the food looked enticing. So I decided to check it out.
Family and I were super happy with the quality of the food and great staff. Would definitely make it one of my stops again while visiting Maui.

Good beer, BAD service. I’m writing this review only a few hours after leaving the place.
My boyfriend and I are in our late twenties, from San Francisco (where we have amazing breweries such as Anchor Steam and Speakeasy) and so we of course wanted to try the Maui Brewing Co. Sadly we expected too much. I really only saw one other young couple in the place. We sat at the bar and were served by a male bartender. He was nice, but was clearly more invested in the people around us. He only came to check on us once.
I was offered another beer by a larger, blondish woman bartender who was talking to another customer at the bar and just looks over her shoulder at me and says, «you want another beer?» I began to say «oh! well…» and she mocked me by repeating me «OH!» …um??? Jeez lady. Do you take pleasure in being a jerk?
What a waste of money, and excitement. I can honestly say it was our ONLY off putting experience in Maui.
Food: he had the Dynamite Tots– said they were good. I had the seared ahi sandwich. It was meh.
As for any workers reading this: you’re making your restaurant look bad.
I could’ve requested the manager, but it was likely the rude blonde. I’d rather just report them to the better business bureau.
Aloha!

After a day of snorkeling we needed to get the hubby some beer, what better place then a brewery right? When we came in they said about a 10 minute wait, no biggie we can do that. However, as we sat there we all realized that there were open tables just waiting for us and we were not being seated. As we all came to realization later in our meal we feel they were short staffed and that is why empty tables were not being filled by waiting customers.
When we were finally seated it took us forever to get beer. We are at a brewery right? I never dreamt that getting beer here would take so long. I got the Russian Imperial Stout. For me it was just meh, absolutely nothing special to write home about. It was good but not amazing. For food I ordered the Tots Dynamite. These little tots are a must have! Tots smothered in cheese and peppers. Very, very tasty!
Overall we left feeling a bit underwhelmed. The service was definitely sub par, for me the beer was okay and the highlight was the tots for sure. I would give it another try if I was in Maui but I am not sure I would go out of my way to make it happen.

November 20, 2015 Friday — 2:30 PM for lunch
4 adults
Atmosphere — 4 star
Food — 4 stars
Service — 1 stars
Background — Just finished snorkeling and time to refuel.
Atmosphere — Almost sterile with no character.
Food —
Drinks — It is all about the beer here, I am at a brewery. I wanted beer I could not get in Reno. I went with their seasonal IPA, a triple IPA which they called JAWS. Excellent.
Meal — The prices for the food seemed expensive, I know the island is more expensive but $ 6 for one slider seems unreasonable. I had the nachos with guacamole added. It was solid but again it is expensive.
Service — 10 minute wait when got there with many tables open. After sitting it took another 10 minutes before I waitress visited us. They just seamed overwhelmed and lacked staff today. Lack luster is the best way to describe it.
Future — Love to give them another try.

With all the awesome reviews and the fact that it truly is a local business on Maui, I wanted to give it a chance.
We walked in after about four hours of snorkeling and were hungry and thirsty. The brewery looked about a third full and there were plenty of open tables. Never the less we were made to wait for over ten minutes. Once we got to our table we waited another ten minutes before our waitress came over to take our order.
I landed on the grass fed burger and it was okay and the beer was good, but not outstanding. If they amp up their service I could see the place being a solid four stars in my book.

What a great selection of craft beers at their brewpub. Loved the island flavored porter and wheat beer. Drank many beach blonde and big swell pale ale while on vacation.
This place is a short drive from the Hyatt– Westin-​Sheraton complex with some old tv’s (need bigger and HD tv’s and more of them please).
We ordered the nachos to start and was very glad my wife and I got the nachos. One of the better nachos filled with lots of pork, guacamole, and sour cream. Yum! Wish I could say that with the other items we ordered.
I would skip the burger, but order the fries as a stand alone. Some tasty fries! The tacos were okay too.
Stick with appetizers and beers (love the ice bar) and you can chose your own beer flights too.
Good find in my book.

A brewery that also has great food? This place is amazing! I didn’t have very high expectations coming here because breweries aren’t usually synonymous with great food, but the Maui Brewing Company definitely exceeded my expectations.
We came here around 7:30pm on a Wednesday for a late dinner. We made reservations, but there were a few empty tables when we arrived so I don’t think they were necessary. As with other breweries I have been to, it’s super LOUD inside! It was hard to talk and have a conversation without yelling. They do have a large space though with plenty of tables and a large bar with a few TVs.
I ordered the Bursting Heart Saison which was brewed with strawberries! I thought it was OK, it just tasted like beer to me (no strawberry flavor) so I was slightly disappointed.
I ordered the Caesar Salad with ranch dressing instead of caeser to make it Vegetarian. I’m not a big salad person (I actual try and avoid them whenever possible) but this salad was actually really good! The lettuce was fresh, the croutons were made in house, the dressing was delicious, and the cheese was freshly grated. Yum!
My Husband ordered the Ahi Tuna Salad which he said was fresh and enjoyed as well. My Stepson ordered their daily chef’s special which I honestly don’t remember what it was. It had fresh fish, risotto, and my Stepson absolutely loved it! Unfortunately since it was a special, it wasn’t on the menu, so we only found out it was $ 34 after we got the bill. Fantastic.
I would come back to the Maui Brewing Company next time I’m in Maui. They give tours during the day as well which I think would be interesting to do and to try some of their other beers.

Tried a flight of all the beers on tap. A few were fine and many were just ok. Shared a buffalo chicken sandwich that came overflowing with fries. Again it was just ok, nothing special. We wouldn’t recommend stopping by unless you really want to check out the brewery. Nothing to write home about, but not bad either.

FOOD: My coconut porter stew despite the raves was not good for me nor the other guy in my group. I found it too rich, salty, with a weird sour taste. Maybe it was the porter taste?
Best go with the Lau Lau pulled pork type dish, that one was a hit at our table, which I tried too and found it to be a good one.
BEER: big selection for being a brewing company. My light beer was okay.
INSIDE: wood décor type place with TVs playing sports.
OVERALL: three stars for A OK.

We decided to try them out after a long day at the beach. We actually tried their second location in Kihei first, though that location has no restaurant yet.
LOCATION:
In the Kahana Gateway mall, first level. There’s lots of parking being that the mall is half empty.
ATMOSPHERE:
It’s a dimly lit, airy space with high ceilings and cool looking keg cans used as pendant and sconce lighting. There’s a big bar with stainless steel counters and a narrow ice ring that outlines the inner part of the bar top and is used to keep your drinks cold, a very nice concept that also eliminates the need for coasters. Seating is a mix of communal picnic tables and low tops. The bathrooms sport prison-​like mirrors for some reason. Very touristy, like most of west Maui establishments.
MENU:
Mixed variety of apps, sliders, flatbreads, salads, sandwiches, entrees.
BEVERAGE:
Bikini Blonde — Nice and light brew, and probably their most popular selection, but why is a draft beer $ 6, and why is the tap not cold? I can see $ 4, being that it’s made right there. Come on guys.
FOOD:
Poutine — The fries were super crispy, though I didn’t care for the duck fat gravy which was underwhelming and had a stale flavor. I think a plain brown gravy would suffice the dish better. The portion size is good for four to share.
Jambalaya — Call the fire department. I love jambalaya, but the menu wording doesn’t state how extremely spicy this dish is. The server also asked «Are you okay with spice?» after I ordered, but it should be worded «Are you okay with extreme spice?» I’d rate it a 5 on a 5-​heat scale. I like a dish with a kick, but not to the point where the food tastes sour, your tongue and lips are on fire, you cough, and your throat muscles constantly contract after each bite. That said, under all that blistering spice, I could tell that the dish had a great flavor. I took ¾ of it home and am in the process of doctoring in down, lol. Definitely recommended for the spice head! And no, you cannot get it in the spice level of your choice, unfortunately. Portion size is good for the $ 18 price.
RESERVATIONS:
They were pretty packed on a Sunday night at 8pm, though we had a minimal 15-​minute wait after walking in without any reservations.
SERVICE:
Bar & table service was friendly and mainstream.
OVERALL:
Nice menu, pricey tap beer that’s not cold.

Great selection of beer. You can also try 4– 4oz samples called flights. My personal favorite is the Maui Hefeweizen. Light and smooth.
For dinner, you can order anything from sliders, tacos, fries and flatbreads. The tater tots (with bacon bits) will not disappoint you! It comes with a kimchi aioli, just a kick of heat. You can have this on the side. Their wings are bombbbbbb! I tried both the kalbi and fish tacos. We received both over cooked. But flavor is good.
