There’s no better place to soak in the aloha spirit than Kona Brewing Co. in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii. Since 1994, they’ve been serving up world-class craft beers inspired by the islands — and whether you're a visitor or a local, their laid-back vibe, scenic brewery, and fresh pours make it a must-stop.
Sip the Island — One Beer at a Time
Everyone knows and loves Big Wave Golden Ale — a smooth, tropical golden ale with a crisp finish that captures the feeling of catching a wave off the Kona coast. But that’s just the beginning. Kona Brewing's lineup features other local favorites like:
-
Longboard Lager – A clean, refreshing island lager that goes down easy in the heat.
-
Hanalei Island IPA – A juicy IPA with notes of passionfruit, orange, and guava.
-
Pipeline Porter – A bold brew made with 100% Kona coffee for those who like their beer with a kick.
Whether you’re sipping a flight at their scenic brewpub or grabbing a six-pack for the beach, every beer delivers a taste of Hawaii.
A Cool Bonus in the Gift Shop
While you’re there, don’t miss their gift shop — stocked with island-style merch and souvenirs, including something we’re proud to be part of: custom-made Bomber beverage insulators designed to match Kona’s beers.
Made for 12 oz cans, our Bombers are thicker and more premium than your average koozie — the perfect way to keep your beer cold and your island vibe strong. Big Wave fans especially love this match, and let’s just say it’s one of those low-key collabs that just works.
Crack a Kona. Chill with a Bomber. Live the Aloha.
