We visited 4 breweries during out stay and this was by far the best. Great selection of beers and solid hazy IPAs. Lots of cool tea and other drink options too. The owners were super friendly and had top notch customer service. Its a must check out on Kauai for beer lovers.

Great vibes and great beers! Everyone who’s works here is so friendly and they give discounts for locals / military (a big one!). They don’t serve food but allow you to bring food in which is awesome. Try the Voggy Daze - it’s delicious!

Recently opened new micro brewery in Lihue. Was doing about 10 or 12 different beers on my first visit, including multiple light, rice, Mexican, Pilsner, red, multiple IPA and two porters. A really nice variety of beers to choose from. The inside feels like a Colorado or Portland, Oregon micro brewery fell into Lihue somehow with a rollup garage doors and open area clean interior. Super friendly service. No food except for a couple bagged snacks for sale but most nights they seem to have a food truck across the street with them, which is a great combo and reminiscent of those other great beer towns. We definitely return and a welcome addition to the very small Kauai brewing scene.

Managed to sneak in a visit during their soft opener. Sampled 75% of their tapls and everything was solid. After a bunch of tasters I went for a full pour of the Galactic Haze. Delicious! The space is bright and comfortable and the staff are friendly and knowledgeable. I wish them every success.

Visiting from Utah. Happened to stumble upon this place. The owner is super friendly and passionate about his beer. Haven’t been open long but they have excellent beer and couldn’t be happier.
