Maui Brewing Co. (573 Kailua Rd Suite 105)

Walking back from Kailua beach we happened upon this delightful restaurant. Be prepared for the wild life, roosters and pigeons are roaming about giving an authentic feel to this restaurant. Happy hour was wonderful enjoy the local brew with fish tacos. Highly recommended with excellent food and wonderful service!

One of my favorite stops while I’m in town! Our waitress was awesome! My chicken sandwich was good. My rum juice was perfect!

I highly recommend the fish sandwich! It's absolutely delicious! It's not part of the happier hour, but totally worth it. The service is often just okay; there have been a few visits where it looked like employees were switching out shifts. This guy took our drink order, then vanished. Another girl took over our table, and the guy came back at the end to give us the check. It was really odd, considering he didn't assist us the entire time. The service wasn't bad after we got the assistance we needed; it just came off as unorganized and confusing. I enjoy going here because the vibe is relaxing, almost as if you are on vacation. I prefer this location over the one in Waikiki, which is actually closer to my house. I do not drink but I enjoy going and haveing a non-alcoholic beer that they have.

After a day of exploring the island, this was the perfect place to unwind. The Mac Nut Crusted Mahi Mahi tasted like Hawaiʻi on a plate—fresh local fish with a crispy macadamia nut crust, paired with Okinawan sweet potato, a refreshing watercress salad, crunchy taro chips, and a hint of coconut gel with lime vinaigrette. Every bite felt light and tropical, not heavy at all. Great food, relaxed island vibe, and a perfect stop for travelers looking for something local and well done.

food was good but missed the marks on the poke and truffle fries. although the presentation of the poke stack looked great, the flavor didnt quite hit it. same with the truffle fries - although the crunch and garlic flavor were good, it was missing the truffle flavor (even with the dip)

Maui Brewing is said to be the second largest beer producer in Hawaii. They make solid, tasty beers that are very good but probably not the top beers in the state. They are slightly thin but straightforward. There are other beers made in HI that are more complex and have fuller bodies. Their coconut porter is a favorite. We actually prefer their regular coconut porter over their imperial. They have several IPAs that are quite good too. The food was fine. The “jalapeño bacon burger” was good even though it barely had any jalapeños or bacon on it. It had two half pieces of bacon which probably doesn’t count as a bacon burger. The truffle fries were good. The server was great. So why the missing star? It’s just that they are too… corporate? Formulaic? Too high-end generic. No soul? Hard to put our finger on it but we both felt that we were just given the experience. It’s good but generic. We really prefer smaller craft breweries that truly care about how the customer feels when they go there. This place was clean, nice looking, had good beer and food, and had very nice service, but we walked away thinking… meh.

Had such a delicious lunch here! really filling vegan veggie burger. Unfortunately there wasn’t a ton of options for vegans here but I was super happy with my meal. My fiancé had really great fish and chips as well. Highly recommend trying this place
