Sip on Island Innovation
Stepping into Howzit Brewing feels like a transition from the bustling Honolulu heat into a relaxed, industrial-cool warehouse space. The aroma here is a distinct mix of toasted grain and hops, hanging heavy in the air near the fermenters. It is an unpretentious spot, perfect for locals looking to skip the Waikiki crowds and trade them for a rotating selection of craft beers brewed right on the premises.
The Brewmaster’s Craft
The core of this operation is the dedication to small-batch experimentation. You will often find the brewers behind the bar, eager to explain the profile of their latest IPA or a surprisingly crisp lager. If you enjoy a hazy, citrus-forward brew, their signature pale ales tend to lean into bright, tropical notes that honor the island climate. The taproom is sparse and utilitarian—concrete floors and communal tables encourage conversation, though be warned: the music can lean toward the loud side, making it a place built for high-energy afternoons rather than quiet introspective sipping.
Community Vibes in Kakaʻako
While the parking situation in this corner of Honolulu can be a bit of a challenge during the evening rush, the payoff is a cold, refreshing pint that feels like an authentic slice of local brewing culture. It is the kind of place that hits its stride when the sun dips low and the nearby workshops quiet down. Whether you are a dedicated craft beer enthusiast or just looking for a cool spot to unwind after a day near the harbor, the communal atmosphere and commitment to quality ingredients make this a noteworthy stop on your Honolulu itinerary.

We tried the Howzit Lite and the Helles Lager. Both were good especially the Helles. The bartender was really cool. Had a really nice chat with him about the industry here in Hawaii.

Beer is fricken amazing. The Goose was so good and the HI time WC IPA was my favorite IPA on this trip home. They do have food trucks for dinner too or there plenty of places to grab food.

Craft beers are not very good in Hawaii, but this place is by far the best. Very good beers, and really the only ones worth drinking in Hawaii. Great atmosphere as well.

Their West Coast IPA is incredibly crushable. Grant behind the bar was super chill and very knowledgeable about the local craft beer scene. Didn't get a chance to taste the stew they were serving today but it smelled incredible.

Parking sucks, no lie, but tried a second time to make it and glad we did. Taco truck had real good quick munchies and the beer is well made (Mexican black lager and a coffee cream ale that was as good as I’ve ever had). Wife had a slushee with their blackberry sour and it was very good.

Great place with beer that checks the boxes. Tried their WC IPA and the solar excursion HIPA, and both were clean and refreshing, not overly hoppy. Parking can be a challenge with all the construction, but there is a garage a block away.

🤙🤙🤙 One of my favorites, if not the favorite, among the local Honolulu beer scene. A relative newcomer (happy anniversary, though!), with experienced/industry-tenured staff making and selling everything. Focused on whatever is looking sharp - currently lagers and hazy IPAs. Look for collaborations and festivals in the near term, then more merchandise and to-go (which has just started). Killing it with social activities like group runs, too!

Well worth finding this excellent brewery. Although they have only been open a short while their Brewer is making some excellent beers. He has taken his years of experience at some well known Seattle area Breweries and crafted it into Island goodness. I especially liked the Schwarz (German for black) and Pilsner.

Loved it! Stopped in while walking past. We tried a couple beers. They were great and so was the laid-back vibe. Fantastic mood from the Poursmith; so friendly and was clearly happy to be there. Side note: Art was very cool and he was able to speak to it all.
