QUALITY > QUANTITY

Brewing is an art form. Each batch that we brew and each pint that we pour shows our creativity and passion for craft beer. We value consistency of our beers and quality over quantity. A signature Kohola beer is clean, smooth and crushable, perfect for the weather in Hawaii.

OUR FLAGSHIP BREWS

  • LOKAHI PILSNER

    5.5% Alc./Vol., IBU 35

    Our Lokahi Pilsner, is a 2016 Great American Beer Festival® Bronze Medal Winner in the German-Style Pilsner Category. The pilsner malt presents a slightly grainy sweetness balanced by the delicate bitterness of the Noble hops. This pale-yellow lager is conditioned for extra long, giving it a perfect flavor and aroma profile. Lokahi is the Hawaiian word for “in unity, harmony and peace” which we think describes this beer perfectly.

  • TALK STORY PALE ALE

    5.1% Alc./Vol., IBU 42

    A smooth and slightly bready classic Pale Ale. This flavor matches beautifully with the tangerine citrus flavors and aromas of Chinook, Mosaic, Mandarina Bavaria and Citra Hops. Locals in Hawaii love to chat–or what we call talk story. This is what this beer truly represents, a good time with friends and ohana.

  • LAHAINA HAZE

    6.3% Alc./Vol., IBU 36
    New England Style India Pale Ale

    Lahaina Haze is a medium bodied, juicy brew with flavors of citrus and tropical fruit powered by the addition of Simcoe, Mosaic, and Cascade hops. Extra wheat and oat are added to the mash to give this brew a soft mouth feel and the sunshine color that reminds us of gorgeous Lahaina sunsets.

  • THE WATERMAN IPA

    6.8% Alc./Vol., IBU 70
    India Pale Ale

    This refreshing West Coast style India Pale Ale is well balanced with a simple grain bill to allow the Simcoe and Centennial hops to shine. Aromas of grapefruit and pine are complemented with a slight bitterness on the finish. This delicious IPA is dedicated to all the Watermen and Waterwomen enjoying our beautiful ocean every day.

  • RED SAND AMBER ALE

    5.5% Alc./Vol., IBU 32

    Red Sand Amber Ale combines a medium body with bready, malty flavors and a baked chocolate nose. It has hop aromas of earth and spice from the late kettle Fuggle hop additions. The auburn color of this beer inspired us to name it after the unique Red Sand Beach in Maui.

OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH KONA BREWING

Located in the heart of Lahaina town, our entire brewing facility and tap room burned to the ground during the Lahaina Wildfires in August 2023.

After deeply debating how to move forward, we came together with Kona Brewing Hawaii to establish a contract brewing partnership. We have been able to continue in-state production at their Kailua-Kona facility on the Big Island ever since.

Within 3 months, we were officially brewing again. Since then, we've re-introduced all five of our flagship beers back in store statewide in Hawaii as of July 1, 2024.

And while we consider how to re-establish brewing again on Maui's west side when the opportunity allows, we're excited to finally reunite with our community and make new connections through the opening of our first Tap Room and Eatery in Wailea Village.

In fact, we will launch our first collaboration beer with Kona Brewing Hawaii this August at our new Wailea location. We can't wait to share it with you!
