    Interesting beers but lacking customer service. Go somewhere else and buy their beer at the grocery store.

    When hubby and I visited Maui, this was on our overly-ambitious list of eateries to visit because I am a beer fanatic. It was pretty far down on the list, though, because there is just too much good food on that island and not enough time on earth to eat it all. We almost didn't go, but one weeknight, we left the beach a little late and weren't sure what we'd find that was still open. "What about Maui Brewing company?" I asked. We called; they were still open. Sweet. The ambiance is nice here, as brewpubs go. There's some bench seating and some table seating. We were seated at a table for four, which I love. I absolutely hate it when restaurants know they won't fill up but they still stick two people face-to-face at the crummiest, smallest table they have just in case the LA Lakers decide to come in for a post-game snack or something and they need all the tables for four that they can get their hands on. Bonus points for not being stingy seaters. The service was good. The waitstaff made great beer recs based on my likes/dislikes, and our waiter was very attentive. Food: We ordered the maui onion soup (delicious!) to start. Hubby had the meatloaf and he was swooning over it. I had the tofu pot pie. The mashed potatoes were good (I expected to taste more of the beer in them, though, so that was a bit of a bummer), but the pot pie was the big winner. The crust wasn't too flaky or too tough; it was a perfect sponge for the pot-pie-y goodness. We both really loved the seasonings used in the food--it's so refreshing to eat at a place that knows that salting the **** out of something isn't the only way to make it taste good. Both of our meals had hints of thyme and a few other yummy herbs. Beer: I'm a bit of a microbrew snob, and I really do love their beers. Enough said. They're very "Maui" without being too fruity or sweet or otherwise untrue to the good things about beer. Their root beer is killer as well. The highlight of the meal, though, was the coconut porter flan. GET THE COCONUT PORTER FLAN. SERIOUSLY. Flan is one of those things that can be done so well or so nastily, and I can honestly say that this was the best I have ever had. It had the consistency of a fine cheese (rather than a bowl of jello) and it was sweet, rich, and just flat-out delicious. Eat it. If you like breweries and know what to expect from a restaurant like this, you should like this one. It's not fine dining (so if that's what you want, go elsewhere on the island... there's plenty of it), but Maui Brewing Company makes one hell of a casual meal with some damn good drinks to accompany. You can't beat that.

    Decent place for beers and appetizers. Nothing extra special though. Lots of TV's and plenty of loud and obnoxious people when sporting events are on.

    Great place. After driving all day, a cold beer and some grub was what we were looking for. Huge space, plenty of spots at the bar. We tried a number of beers and liked them all. We tried the wings which in my opinion not that great. We didn't like the fleshy texture of them not being fried. The sauce was good but we wouldn't order them again. I got the Cuban sandwich which was great. The fries were odd. They seemed to be filled with air and not really potato in texture. The sandwich had great flavor and the bun was awesome. My wife got the Kal

    I agree with some of the other reviews here, that the food isn't all that great here. but I hesitate to give it a low rating, because they do SOLID brews here. on tap there I've had: - the Big Swell IPA - Coconut Porter - the Black Pearl the Coconut Porter is fantastic. In my opinion, one of the best Porters I've ever had. Then there is the Black Pearl. It is the Coconut Porter aged in Rum Barrels (just when you didn't think it could get any better). btw, if you order the Black Pearl in the voice of a Pirate with a "yaaarrr!" at the end, they give you extra. ... I'm just kidding about the ordering like a pirate thing, but it would have been funny if you did it, right?

  • Jason Z.

    What more can you really say about the Maui Brew Co. They have world class beer and quality food on the menu. If you haven't tried the coconut porter, it's a must! They even have a late night food menu, but it's pretty greasy bar food stylee...

    Tempted fate and went back. The bar was packed and got seated at an outlying table. The airplane hangar feel of the place was not enhanced by sitting in the back corner. There are better ways to spend your money than on a $25 pizza in the BFE corner.

  • Jen S.

    It's ok... Better places in Maui. It's pretty quick and easy if you're looking for bar food. I was not impressed with their pizza. The burger isn't bad though.

  • Matt G.

    Not a big beer guy but love good brew pub fare. In comparison to other Hawaiian brew pubs (think Kona Brewing) the food in this place sucks. My wife compared it to Hard Rock Cafe and she's right on the money. Do not plan on wasting calories, money, or a vacation meal here.

  • Sean M.

    This is really a 2.5 star review but I'm rounding up because I do genuinely like MBC a lot. 5 Stars for the brew, 2 for the food. I have mixed feelings on MBC...I love the beer and relish the opportunity to be able to sample all of their offerings...however, the location kind of blows. If it were in any city I'd love it, but on an island with so many awesome places (with outdoor seating) to sit and have a drink, I can't bring myself to sit in MBC for too long. The interior is very industrial with lots of metal and concrete, the bar is stainless steel with a chilled surface running the length of it to keep your beer cold. The food is ok. I've had most of the smaller plates, never any of the entrees. It's not terrible but I would never go there to have a meal if I wasn't planning on having a drink. I always sit at the bar so I can sample a few beers before I decide what I'm drinking. The service at the bar is fine, the bartenders are always real chill. I've heard that the table service is pretty bad but I can't personally comment on it. If you're into beer then MBC is definitely worth a visit. I wish they would open a branch on the south side. If it were a little closer to home I'd be in much more frequently for growler fills.

    Finally there is a place i can rate as 'good' in Maui! Great beer, great atmosphere (spacey), service was good, mahi mahi burger was good and i would come back here again. Finally.:)

  • JM M.

    Of course my husband found this place because of their beer selection. First time we went, we only stopped by to their beers. My husband was happy. The staff were nice and friendly. Second time we went, we had lunch here. The food was great and it came our fast then we expected. Sometimes during lunch hour it takes forever to get your food but pretty surprised that we got ours fast. No complains at all. Happy with our order and service. Highly recommend.

    When you're on Maui, drink Maui beer. It helps that Maui Brewing Co. has a few great beers - the Bikini Blonde, the Big Swell IPA, Mana Wheat - and a nice little brewpub to enjoy them in. I dragged the lady here during the Giants-Phillies NLCS game since I'm Philly born and raised and I can't miss the Phils in the playoffs. Of course, we all know how that series went, and I've got no ill will towards the Giants - the Yankees and Rangers are our mutual enemies. The pub is a great place to take in a game. I wish there were a 3.5 star rating, because it's 4 stars whenever there's a game on, but otherwise just OK. Beer 4 stars, food 3 stars, service 3 stars or so. I'd come here again, though, just to sample a few more beers with friends at the bar.

    Really good brews. The Milk of Amnesia Stout is insane and the Coconut Porter is killer! The food is decent bar grub... not great, but hot too bad either... Will go back the next time I am in West Maui!

  • Jill D.

    Average food and ambiance - just what you'd expect from a brewing company though. The onion rings are good and I like that a portion of the proceeds from them go to the humane society, otherwise the food is standard pub fare and nothing special.

  • Dean H.

    Big shout out to Maui Brewing for the progress since our first visit when they initially opened. Big list of thoughtful beers on tap and bartenders who care about serving it. Carl was our bartender and he was not only patient with my numerous questions related to my microbrew snobbery, but he appeared excited about my interest. He managed the busy bar efficiently and with a smile. Nothing makes a microbrew taste better than a bartender who is excited about what he's pouring and anxious to provide a tailored recommendation to his Customers. I'm a hops freak so I really enjoyed the Freight Train Double IPA and the Big Swell IPA. This rates high on my lengthy "breweries visited" list!

    We ate here twice and were blown away by the jambalaya (which is spicy) both times. For the most part this restaurant feels like Buffalo Wild Wings (not very Maui), but their beers are as good as they get and the jambalaya is phenomenal. We did the brewery tour (fun and not expensive) and their commitment to using local flavors and keeping things as "green" as possible were pretty cool. The only thing I really didn't like was the fish and chips - the fish had sat in the fryer for wayyy too long. But even that can be forgiven because of the jambalaya :)

  • Bob D.

    We went to the restaurant for dinner on our recent vacation and to try some of their brews. To eat we got a kahula pork slider, and regular slider with pineapple, pork plate, and a big burger. The sliders were the best, but the food was good overall. We also got 2 flights of beer, to try a large variety. The coconut porter and Belgium wit were my favorites, while their 2 IPA`s will please the bitter-beer lovers. Overall, it`s a good meal, with great brews. Nice to see the Maui beers doing so well! Going to look for them on mainland now.

    Why do people go into a brewery expecting good food. Come on people. My wife and I stopped by for a quick drink and tried the Maui Bikini Blonde. I loved it . If your in Maui a must go to.

  • Ken S.

    This is a must destination for beer fans and geeks alike. MBC ships their 4 flagship beers, but there is so much more to MBC than those 4. Sticking to those 4 would be like only starting your Ferrari to hear the engine. The food at the brewpub is higher end gastropub fare. My only criticism is I would like to see more items on the menu that incorporate the use of the beer. They do a good job with the existing menu items, I just happen to think the beer is so good there could be more. The other kudo I have to give them is the bartenders, specifically Dustin and Josh, are very knowledgeable about beer. They are not your typical "fizzy yellow stuff" bartenders. I consider myself to be a hard core beer fanatic and they kicked me down with some knowledge about the beer. I fully intend to return every time I am on the island to get my growler filled multiple times.

    Great food. Had the cuban sandwhich despite other reviews and with the extra sauce it had a lot of flavour. Downed it with a sampler and coconut porter, awesomeness! Wifey had the veggie burger and it is probably one of the best veggie burgers I have ever had. It was fresh and not previously frozen so it had alot of flavour. Great place for lunch and dinner!

    An incredible selection of beers and a simple, yet diverse menu of delicious food. Server staff is particularly helpful recommending brews that pair nicely with their menu items. Special thanks to Ben for his knowledge and insight during our dinner.

  • Sarah T.

    Go here. It's amazing. Forget the other reviews because the Maui Onion beer served on a bed of ice that wraps around the bar and the fantastic vegetarian, local and sustainable menu is supreme.... well...so we tried many beers and the scotch and Maui onion are my favs and we ate the humus appetizer which was seriously the best damn hummus ever!!! Great and reasonable prices for HI. Cool atmosphere like something you would find in Cali but with more natural light. Oh yeah, and the service at the bar was great...and attractive ;-)

    This rating is based on two visists, a 5/5 and a 3/5 to average out to a 4/5. Please note I am an avid beer enthusiast. Setting: Maui Brewing is located in a strip mall about halfway between Lahaina and Napili. The setting is industrial or warehouse-esque and has WAY too many TVs. No matter where you look you're going to be distracted by a TV. Music ranged between old Bob Marley (nice) to awful 80's hair metal on my friday night visit. Food: Excellent, really. Some items are kind of pricey, but this is Maui. Both visits yielded great tasting food, from the burgers to the hummus to the excellent 3$ kalua pork sliders. And coming from someone who hates beef for being tough and tasteless, Maui beef is the best beef ever. Sliders are the safe way to go if you're short on cash or just not that hungry. Service: one thing you'll note is that this place is WAY understaffed. The friday night visit featured a single server for a whopping 50 to 75 customers, including two extremely fussy birthday parties. Getting real service was a tremendous bitch that night, and when I mentioned to the 20something white guy that I wanted to buy some T shirts and a few pint glasses for friends' back home - he disappeared never to be seen again, and I wasted 10 minutes of my life waiting for him to come back. His knowledge of beers are poor to middling. Service 2: my first visit was almost as busy, and also featured a single server. This slightly older fellow, named Gary, was the shit. He knew his beers up and down, knew the food just as well, was incredibly likable and knew how to give just the right amount of sass to be playful with his tables. Gary was one of the best servers I've ever had in my life, at any restaurant, and he deserves the medal of honor for being so good while being so badly overworked. Beer: make sure you ask for samplers so you can try every beer on the list. Their bourbon barrel aged barleywine was excellent, say 9 for 10. Their KGB Russian imperial stout was 8/10, and the other beers were okay to good - not counting their coconut porter and big swell IPA, both production beers which are very nice. Gary knew everything there was to know about all of them, and that's so damn rare in this industry. Guest beers were dull for me... No Pizza port Belgian DIPA, like others talk about, just Moylan's Kolsche. Ug. So if you can weather bad service, or if you're lucky enough to get Gary, hit up Maui for some excellent food and some damn good beer.

    The pork nachos are the best ever! And that is saying a lot for a Californian. Be sure to ask for an extra side of salsa and bring a big appetite. ENJOY!!! The beer and pineapple wine are also good.

  • Ryan W.

    Great quality and variety of beers brewed here. Light, dark, ale, lager, hoppy malty, they have something for everyone. The food is pretty standard pub fare, but the beer is the star of this show.

  • David R.

    Food holds its own, but could be much better. The beer is very good, although I wish they had a greater variety. Perhaps it was lacking a bit because it was during the summer and they brought out a lot of their light beers. But as a big craft beer fan I was a bit disappointed by that. But the beer they did have to offer was awesome. Loved the tropical fruit-infused beer, coming from someone who doesn't generally like fruit in their beer. Definitely worth checking out if you are a big beer fan and are in the area.

    I really wanted to like this place. It was right around the corner from the condo we rented, so it could have easily been our go-to spot. But it was just meh. Midday, there were only two servers and almost all the tables were taken. So dudes were running around, not that attentive, and we had to flag down ours a few times to get the necessities. The food was aight. The usual pub fare. We made the mistake of sitting in the long tables though, and that was a pain because of the fans overhead kept making me feel like there were strobe lights. No wonder the table was available. Good beer though, and I won't hate on that. But even all the beer in the world couldn't make me go back for another visit. Go if you're hungry, don't expect much. If you want to get your beer on, then by all means. PS: They LOVE 90's pop in that spot. WTH.

  • Kris G.

    Cool chill place to have some beers, or better yet, flights of beers to try their craft beers. I definitely recommend sitting at the bar as you will get better service, and they also have a sweet Ice Rail that keeps your glasses chill. If you are into IPA's you gotta try the Big Swell IPA, porter fans go for the Cocunut Porter, and a good lager is the Vienna. We had some of their pub food which was pretty good and went great with their beers. The Tots and even their fish tacos were very good. We would come back for sure.

  • Jorge G.

    Great place to have drinks. The food quality was very good, my only disappointment was that the beer was not cold enogh.

  • Jonathan B.

    Had the nachos with Kalua Pork, followed by fish tacos and both were really good. Staff was very attentive. The Session IPA is tasty. It's got a grapefruit note that sets it apart from other beers in its class, likely from the hops. This place is worth checking out if in the area. If not, they can a few flagship beers and it might be worth trying them that way.

  • Susan V.

    We came here on a recommendation from a local sailer. And if the service was even a bit better it would have been great. The location is tucked away in the corner of a strip mall, so it has a lame curb appeal but you walk in and it's a very cool place. They've got tables, long community tables like a beer garden and a wrap around bar. They have one of those cool iced runners the length of the bar to set your glass on. We sampled the slider, brat and wedge salad, all good food and better than expected from a brewery. But then the service and pricing. Adding $1 for lettuce & tomato and $.75 for cheese to the slider felt like a cheap shot to the credit card. Our server wasn't interested in recommending anything and made a double round update that she was going off shift if we wanted to tab out. I'm all for rewarding service but when you're not helpful and then you ask for it, we were not impressed. Basically if you're a tourist they aren't interested in helping you.

    We decided to try them out after a long day at the beach. We actually tried their second location in Kihei first, though that location has no restaurant yet. LOCATION: In the Kahana Gateway mall, first level. There's lots of parking being that the mall is half empty. ATMOSPHERE: It's a dimly lit, airy space with high ceilings and cool looking keg cans used as pendant and sconce lighting. There's a big bar with stainless steel counters and a narrow ice ring that outlines the inner part of the bar top and is used to keep your drinks cold, a very nice concept that also eliminates the need for coasters. Seating is a mix of communal picnic tables and low tops. The bathrooms sport prison-like mirrors for some reason. Very touristy, like most of west Maui establishments. MENU: Mixed variety of apps, sliders, flatbreads, salads, sandwiches, entrees. BEVERAGE: Bikini Blonde - Nice and light brew, and probably their most popular selection, but why is a draft beer $6, and why is the tap not cold? I can see $4, being that it's made right there. Come on guys. FOOD: Poutine - The fries were super crispy, though I didn't care for the duck fat gravy which was underwhelming and had a stale flavor. I think a plain brown gravy would suffice the dish better. The portion size is good for four to share. Jambalaya - Call the fire department. I love jambalaya, but the menu wording doesn't state how extremely spicy this dish is. The server also asked "Are you okay with spice?" after I ordered, but it should be worded "Are you okay with extreme spice?" I'd rate it a 5 on a 5-heat scale. I like a dish with a kick, but not to the point where the food tastes sour, your tongue and lips are on fire, you cough, and your throat muscles constantly contract after each bite. That said, under all that blistering spice, I could tell that the dish had a great flavor. I took 3/4 of it home and am in the process of doctoring in down, lol. Definitely recommended for the spice head! And no, you cannot get it in the spice level of your choice, unfortunately. Portion size is good for the $18 price. RESERVATIONS: They were pretty packed on a Sunday night at 8pm, though we had a minimal 15-minute wait after walking in without any reservations. SERVICE: Bar & table service was friendly and mainstream. OVERALL: Nice menu, pricey tap beer that's not cold.

    Great casual vibe. I'm usually not a fan of beer but I liked their lightest beer enough to come back and get it again. The first time I got the ahi salad the second I made the loaded tater tot appetizer my entree. Service was exceptional and the sever even remembered us from our previous visit. They do a good business and I highly recommend them.

  • Colleen L.

    Maui Brewing was so good that we ate here twice during our week on Maui. The food was great - get the Kalua Pork Nachos! If the server tells you that the dish is a little spicy - they mean it is quite hot! I like spicy but we had to add sour cream and extra rice to the jambalya and get extra rice for the Pineapple chicken curry. Tots Dynamite were good. Pub Plate was ordered more than once because it was so good. The Coconut Porter Beef Stew was reportedly delicious (it is one of the few that I did not taste). The burgers and sliders were great. Cuban sammie was delicious. The beers were YUMMY.

    Food was very good and staff was very friendly... came here our first night for dinner and i had the veggie burger and oh my goodness it was so yummy.... very large beer selection... the second time we came after a sunset dinner cruise and met some people we met at our table there for drinks..... always clean and friendly

  • Crystal M.

    The 2 is pretty generous. The beer was warm, despite the cool freeze bar top that they had. I'm thinking it was just for show because our beers never got colder. The wings were gross and not cooked all the way through - the only thing that saved the review was the nachos. Oh and the gals were eating behind the bar. Won't be returning.

  • Kurtis P.

    We swung by to grab a bite and a beer...or three. It's definitely an odd spot in a shopping center, but the second you walk through the door you forget all about that. The staff is very accommodating and eager to help you find the right drink for your taste. The location is relaxed and friendly and the beer is all pretty good. We ordered two appetizers to split while we had a few drinks and the flat bread was pretty good but the nachos with pork were fantastic. Definitely a great spot for a few beers and a good time.

    (5)

  • Cody B.

    Great vibe but food was just ok. Not my favorite so far. We had the nachos-pretty boring. We then tried the adult Mac n cheese and the tots. Mac n cheese sounded great on the menu but was not as cheesy or tasty as it was made out to be. The tots we good-crispy and cheesy but overall the food was pretty common.

    This is a great break away from the resort restaurants in Kaanapali. I found plenty of vegan options and enjoyed their salad with balsamic, and also enjoyed their zucchini pasta, though it needed a lot of salt.

    Always good food, drinks, and service! We come here often when we're on Maui. This time I tried the wedge salad and it was amazing! The dressing has a good kick, its a honey mustard with wasabi after burn, delicious!

  • Rose J.

    Great atmosphere! Very chill. My husband is a huge beer fan. We went there on a Monday night around 6pm. We sat at the bar but I don't think there was a long wait for a table. The bartenders were very attentive and friendly. I had the blonde bikini beer. I'm not a beer drinker but I enjoyed this one! My husband had a flight of beers and loved it. Like the other reviews said the bar has a mat that has ice on top of it to keep your beers chilled. Never seen that before and it was pretty cool. We also had dinner which was reasonably priced. I had the adult Mac and cheese and it was to die for! Great spot if you are looking for a low key night with good beer and good food.

  • Mohammed G.

    ****READ THIS VERY CAREFULLY**** This is best spot in all of Maui to grab a great burger and nachoes. It is a laid back brewery. Please don't expect fine linens and silverware. BUT damn good food. Anyone that mentions "...Cat" as the best burger place in maui clearly had too many fruity drinks. Don't think twice and go for lunch it's not far from Kaanapali or Napili... 10 or so minutes. Right in the parking lot with McDonald's. You thank me later.

  • Jeanette B.

    Great food and reasonable for Maui. If anyone would of told me I would love ketchup with beer in it, I would have thought they were crazy. But, they make their own ketchup with beer in it. I was hooked on it. I think they should bottle it and sell it along with their t-shirts. My husband had the fish and chips but then had to order onion rings to try too. That is where we got hooked on the ketchup. I had the wedge salad. It was good and different than most with the dijon vinegarret.

  • Carolyn G.

    Went here for dinner, not great but not terrible, just ok. We had the brie app and a slider burger, nothing memorable about either one. Same with the service, nothing great. The beer on the other hand was very good, though but I don't know if I'd eat there again.

  • Chris S.

    Came here last Saturday with my wife and two kids ages 9 and 12. It was clearly a Saturday night crowd as the place was noisy and busy, which is fine (it is a brew pub after all). We sampled the IPA and a Red Ale, both of which were hoppy and good. For food, we had a pesto and veggie pizza, tofu curry, and the kids Mac and cheese and kids hamburger. The pizza and mac'n'cheese were excellent. The curry was good, but the veggies were a bit underdone to our liking. Finally the kids burger was fine - a typical kids burger which is great for a nine year old. My biggest complaint about the place is the service. Our waitress was clearly hurried and barely checked on us (although she was friendly when she did). As an example, my son ordered rice as the side for his burger, but got fries. By the time we could point this out, the rest of us were noshing on the fries but he wanted rice (strange I know). Anyway, when we told our waitress, she did bring him his rice, but ended up charging us for a side of rice (basically a scoop of white rice on a plate). Not really a big deal as it was only $2, but c'mon! In short, the food is decent, the beer pretty tasty and almost everything is local - just don't expect the most attentive service.

  • Todd T.

    I'm from Portland and would like to say we know a thing or two about beer. Having said that, this was some of the best beer I have found on maui. I am a big fan of IPA and their assortment did not disappoint. I would recommend this place for anyone looking to get a good beer and a burger while in Maui.

  • Malia M.

    I'm a local and thought I'd bring my husband to a brewery for his birthday lunch. There was a sign at the entrance to seat yourself. We waited a couple minutes for our menus and asked about their beer selections. Server was not too educated about their beers. We chose our four samples and waited 15 minutes to get them. Once we got them she took our food orders. Waited another 20 minutes for her to comeback around (that's when she delivered our food), never asked us which sampler we liked best and if we wanted to order a full glass. She just delivered the food and walked away. The next time we saw her was when she dropped the check. Really? Never offered water nor to see how everything was or even ask if we wanted anything else? Beer was good (I'll just buy them a Foodland next time). Food, blaaahhhh. Service, the worst on the island! Won't be back or be recommending them to any hotel guest!!!

    I was really looking forward to checking out this place on our trip to Maui. The girl at the front desk greeted us warmly and sat us down where I could read the board with all the special brews I can't get on the mainland. Being Jerry's birthday, I was especially salivating over the Golden Road IPA. What better way to celebrate the Fat Man than a day of snorkeling and ... and nothing. We sat. And sat. And watched who I imagined was our server check in with other tables two times, three times ... I watched as a family who arrived after us get helped elsewhere in the pub. I found myself desperately trying to make eye contact with the girl and upon doing so got only a blank stare in return. We went from patience, to irritation, to bewilderment ... had we stumbled into a social experiment? The girl even squeezed herself between our table and the next in order to bus a four top and I found myself talking to her rear end--but sticking to her guns, she refused to turn around. Weird and deeply disappointing. We left after 20 minutes or so. Girl, I hope that helps with your research or whatever it was you were doing. :(

    Maui knows how to brew a good beer! They have a great selection. We were impressed with the grilled chicken wings as well. The staff was friendly. It's exactly what you want in a brewpub!

    I recommend the "Adult Grilled Cheese" here. An excellent combination of food and beer. Try any handcrafted brew - all guaranteed to please. The ambiance could be a bit more inviting, even if it is a brewpub.

    Definitely the best beer on the islands, but some of the best in anywhere! La Perouse white is amazing if you like Belgian whites. Best there is. Food is bomb too. Pizzas are fantastic and don't pass on the pub plate!

    Good, local spot. Not the kind of brewery I'm used to. It's pretty small in comparison to other breweries, but the staff is very knowledgable on their brews and allow for tastes to decide if you're into it. I like the build your own flight idea, but I wish they had a couple of pre-built flights showcasing their brews. Overall good & fun!

    A good atmosphere. Very pub like and fun. Good cheap eats and wonderful knowledgeable staff. If you feel like something refreshing try the Beer cocktail with lemonade. A nice Shandy with a bit of a Hawaii twist. Our waitress recommended the Tots and the fish special which we both enjoyed.

    Cute place. Extremely spacious. Lots of brews. Delicious loaded tots. Cute t-shirts. I'm pretty sure my group all walked out with a t-shirt. They are kind of pricey, but it's a better souvenir than something cheesy. What else do you need???

  • Jennifer B.

    We stopped here after dinner to try some of the beers and we really enjoyed it. They're only open until 10pm but the staff was very friendly and knowledgable of the beer. We did a flight which was reasonably priced and then picked the beer we each liked best from the flight. Chill atmosphere, would definitely go back!

    Beer was awesome. Kids loved the root beer. My wife and I shared the adult Mac and Cheese. Very very good!! A lot lighter than most. So in turn not as rich, totally able to eat the whole thing by yourself. Sister in law had the porter stew. That was awesome too. They make there own BBQ sauce and ranch dressing both of which are fantastic. They also have a spicy ketchup that we really liked. Couldn't quite place the spice flavor, but it was so familiar. The only problem was the burgers were quite over done. Asked for med well and that is want we got.... But the char on the outside was overwhelming. The girls couldn't finish it. Overall it was a great experience and the service was great!! Defiantly go check them out.

    Great pub food, tasty craft beers! If you sit at the bar, the top is a frozen sheet of ice! keeps the beer ice cold if your a slow drinker, I don't have that problem :-)

  • Daniel R.

    The fish tacos were good, the sliders were a bit dry and had that... under a heat lamp taste to them. The local beers were also good and the service was nice. This place was a nice change from resort food. 3 stars seems fair. Would I go back? Probably not.

  • Natalie W.

    Beer was really good, large selection. Had the coconut porter, and it was very smooth. Food was good as well, bar type of food menu. Would go back for beers, but probably wouldn't go twice for dinner while visiting the area.

  • Amy Z.

    Came for a light dinner after a day of snorkeling. Had the Mana Wheat, light, crisp, and refreshing with pineapple undertones, very good. Also had the Barefoot Ale, not as good for my liking, more bitter than I like. For dinner we split the chicken wings, crispy which is how wings should be, sweet and spicy. Also had the phyllo covered Brie with bread and pineapple sauce. Was a good size of Brie for the price for sure and was very unique. The pineapple sauce really set it off. Was a great place for snacks and beer and off the beaten track, a little loud for my liking and I wish they had orders to go, but they don't. Would go back!

    I want to be completely honest and tell you that I don't really drink that much beer so I am really reviewing just the food. I went to lunch here with my family and the atmosphere was pretty normal for any brewpub. I really did like the large open spaces. I love that you are not sitting on top of other people. There was plenty of personal space between tables. The booth that we were at sat 6 comfortably. The waitress was o.k. She didn't do anything outstanding but didn't do anything bad either. It was a very "meh" experience in general. For lunch I had the Caesar salad ($8). The lettuce seemed fresh and had a nice crunch. The dressing was fine. The chicken that I added was terrible. Without the chicken, the salad would have been excellent. The table shared some "Tots Dynamite." ($10) They consisted of potato tots, cheddar, jack cheese, diced jalapeño, green onion, kimchi aioli, caramelized onion and garlic crema. If you love cheese then I think you would love this. Personally it was grossly over cheesed. There wasn't one tot that didn't drown in cheese. The first and second tot I ate were good but the rest just sat there because it was so heavy. I also shared some "Zucchini Pasta." ($9) It was raw zucchini shredded into noodle like strips that have been mixed with thai peanut sauce, carrot, mac nuts, and basil. Personally I think this dish was pretty good. I was a little surprised that the vegetables were raw but it gave it nice texture and crunch. There was a lot of peanut sauce but I still liked it. My brother-in-law had a four flight of beer. The four flight is four, four-ounce beers on a small wooden platter for tasting. He had the Coconut Porter, Bikini Blonde, Shark Attack and Go To IPA. He said they were all pretty good. I'll have to take his word for it since I'm not a good judge of beer. Overall, a great place to take beer fans but maybe not a place you want to take someone who doesn't like bar food.

    Great service; great food. This is a relaxed sit down restaurant as well, don't be fooled by the name into thinking its strictly a bar-type place. Loved the Deep-Fried Brie with Pineapple Dip appetizer followed by a veggie burger that was quite decent (especially with a generous dollop of their house spicy ketchup) and my pal's French Dip he was quite elated with. Beverage wise, I had a vodka drink which was of so-so strength and my pal had one of their house drafts which was delicious (I tried it); it is a Brewing Company after all. A+++ and we enjoyed our meal and the convivial, lively atmosphere very much.

    great service. good beer. crap food. had 8 samplers. spent 50$ for that a pint and a burger. umm... fine fine. vacation. this next to all the other breweries we've been to would stand a chance, but it's the only on on this island. it will do. bikini blonde is the way to go. they had a pale that was good as well. Tried the IPA. From the land of IPA pacNW SO eh.. it was ok. coconut porter was yummy but thick. prefer Kona Koko Brown for sure especially on hot days. they served cold tator tots. this was quickly fixed but waiter said this isn't the first time. any person letting that go on the customers table from the line should be FIRED. NOW. it's embarrassing and you should be ashamed of yourself. would you feed that to your family? well?? I don't know but surely not to customers paying $20 for a burger and tots. rather have gone to Teddys. Go here for beer. that's it!!

    Ono Grun Pilsner was delicious! I love how they have a frosty coaster across the bar that keeps your drink nice and cold! I also had a coconut porter that was equally delicious! Cheers!

  • Ted R.

    Maui Brewing Company has a brew pub that any beer lover will enjoy. I'm a big fan of the happy hour here. $1 off most beers and $1.50 slices of cheese or peperoni za. Now let's talk beer! The Pau Hana Pilsner Is an excellent Czech style lager, ABV 5.5. The Coconut Porter is unique, with a real coconut accent and great mouthfeel. This brew lives on the smooth side of Porterville, ABV 6. I tasted both of the stouts and the Dry Irish Stout is pretty tasty, but Ali'i Imperial Stout, ABV 11.1, is AGED IN WHISKY BARRELS and super tasty! As my Bartender noted, the whisky flavor isn't too strong. It adds a perfect accent. Throw in really cool bartenders and a chilled rim of the bar that provides a bed of ice for your glass as you drink, and you realize that a little bit of beer heaven can be found in Lahaina.

    This was the first place we ate at after a long day of travel to Maui. Our timeshare was right across the street, so it was very convenient. Honestly, we didn't really care what we ate ... we just didn't want McDonalds. We started with a flight of beer samplers. A couple were great. A couple were so-so. I settled on the IPA and my wife picked a wheat. I am always excited to try new pubs because they usually always have a signature vegetarian burger. The one I got here was very unique. It was a hand-made veggie patty that almost seemed like it was panko crusted because it was so wonderfully crispy on the outside. I added some of their spicy ketchup and was very pleased with the flavor. The fries were good too. So far so good, Maui. Let's see what you have in store for us next ...

  • Evelyn Q.

    Great selection of beers. Food was a-ok but the atmosphere is laid back. Worth the stop if you are in Maui and a fan of beer. The place can get filled up pretty quickly so either get there early or make a reservation before hand if you have a big party.

    We have been coming to Maui for years, but have never been to MBC. Came with friends to watch the Warriors in the Western Conference game and had a great time. Wonderful staff, put up with our cheering and clapping. Food was very good and we sampled a lot of it during the game. Chicken nachos started off the day. My husband started sampling the sliders, you order one at a time, and loved the short rib. The beer was very good, and they were patient with us wanting to sample different kinds. We will be back, game or no game.

  • Eric L. C.

    For being a brewery, their beers are expensive! I am from So.Cal . originally and when you went to a brewery the beers were always super discounted. I am talking about you could get a Stone IPA for $3 a pint. Not here at Maui. Keep chasing those $8 beers...not for me. The strange thing also was that when I tried to talk to the bartender about the beers, she had no clue about anything and handed me a book that had the tasting notes on it and said, "You can check out anything you want in here." I was blown away that someone working for Maui Brewing wouldn't know anything about Maui Brewing suds. It's not her fault, bad management. On a side note, at least there food is good. Tots are bomb and so is the veggie burger. -1 Star for beers being the same price as anywhere on the island. -1 Star for employees not having company knowledge.

    Real. Honest. Beer. This is the only beer actually brewed on Maui, and one of the few brewed in Hawai'i anymore (if you're really interested, look up some of the other "Hawaiian" beers and you'll see many are brewed and owned by Continental U.S. Breweries.) The brew pub is great, good bar food and ever rotating taps. You can also buy their beers in cans or growlers to take with you, awesome option for BBQs and get togethers!

  • Elizabeth T.

    This place was a total surprise for us. I had a rye IPA and my husband had a flight. Along with their really great snacks we left in a total food and beer coma. Not your standard burger and beer brewpub, definitely a cut above. The ice shelf on the bar is a nice touch. Can't wait to come back.

    With the brewery tasting room closed due to their move to Kihei from Lahaina, the brew pub was my only option to taste Maui Brewing Company's delicious liquid offerings during a recent trip to Lahaina. I have loved their Coconut Porter ever since I discovered it a few years ago, so I was dying to try this beer straight from the source. I was here during happy hour, so the $5 American pint offerings were a great way - at a great price - to enjoy some other Maui Brewing Company flavors as well. The pub was designed in a very basic manner. There was a bar counter, a few booths, and many picnic tables to enjoy their drinks and food. There were plenty of TVs showing every sporting event from around the world. I noticed a weird phenomenon while on Maui that most businesses are staffed by twenty something year old girls. I kept asking myself where all of the twenty something year old guys are. Apparently, they all work at Maui Brewing Company Brew Pub. The staff were nice and they knew their products. I was fortunate enough to try the pumpkin fall special as well as the Imperial Coconut Porter (which may be my favorite beer of all time). It was liquid perfection. I would go back to Maui just to have another glass of this gem. If you are feeling lucky, ask the waiters or bartenders for a sample of some of their beers. It is a good way to experience more flavors. Overall, this restaurant and pub was a great way to experience Maui Brewing Company's beers with some food and sports. The atmosphere was basic, but the products were exceptional. I would highly recommend this place to beer lovers who find themselves on Maui.

    One of my husband's favorite brewery. We came to try their other beer since my husband loves their coconut porter. We got a flight taste and our favorite was the Imperial Coconut porter which is stronger with more coconut taste. It is a bit dense but really good with lingering coconut after taste. Their Happy hour is $1 off beers and $1.50 pepperoni pizza slices. We did not order food but it smells and looked amazing.

    Do yourself a favor, sit at the bar...well really anywhere. But like all good breweries at the bar makes a difference. Definitely check out a beer sampler. The coconut porter and the mana wheat are musts but don't over look any seasonal fare. The Porter was nutty, rich and light. Not heavy or chewy. The Mana Wheat with a hint of pineapple finish...OMG. Just do it. We were told the tots dynamite are insane. Going back for those as we were starving and ready to dig in. We had the Pub Plate - pulled pork, macaroni salad and rice. Wonderful tender, great BBQ sauce made with the lovely Afore mentioned porter. Then it was all in on the pineapple curry, I added chicken. The spice was wonderful. It was lite the best blanket of happiness you could wrap your self in. Potatoes, carrots, celery and pineapple in this amazing curry. And paired with the Mana Wheat. Let's just say my mouth is watering again. Get in there...just go. PS the service at the bar rocks. Fast drinks and food. And there is a ice strip to put your drinks on. Chilling them from the bottom up. So nice.

  • Lisa S.

    The beer was warm, yuck! It's a brewing company for heavens sake. Do not order the nachos, they were hella lame. Maybe that's where we went wrong. I do have to give credit to the salads though, they were good! We had a house salad and a caesar salad before dinner. The server was friendly but not attentive. She asked if our table wanted straws, we answered yes, and then she didn't bring any. Our check was wrong. She didn't check back enough and we had to flag her down several times.

    A lot of the reviews are not very kind to Maui Brewing, we had a fine experience and didn't encounter the unhappy employees or other negative aspects people have talked about. Actually the guy working the hostess and t-shirt counter was very nice and chatted us up for quite a while. The beer was great, the food was good too but nothing overly impressive. I went with The Cuban and although it wasn't knock my socks off good, I enjoyed it just fine. I can't remember everything our party ordered but I know we had the Jambalaya also, it was just OK, I would suggest a burger. The atmosphere is solid, nice views inside of the brewery and a large, open industrial space. The tables are long picnic style or booths with a good size bar to sit around also. They had a nice variety of house taps and guest beers from Kona Brewing and other west coast micro breweries. Altogether worth a trip to get a change of pace from the resorts and drink beer in a brewery.

  • Judy C.

    Came for happy hour and got to try 5 of their beers, including two of the barrel aged ones. A couple of them were good, but none of them were stand-outs. We also got a slider and poutine, which were both meh. Overall, a disappointing experience and not worth the drive.

    (2)

  • Ken V.

    OK, this is a serious brew pub, not some wimpy ass (think fake "brew kettles") sort of fern bar. Their beer selection is quite varied, but there's something there for almost everyone. (My wife likes Coors light -- I know, right? -- and there was nothing for her here.) I tried their Pilsner and their American Belgo. Both were superb, although I found the pils to be slightly under hopped, but that's actually a pleasant thing to find in all too many US brew pubs these days. The food was also excellent. I had some edamame as a snack, topped with Hawai`ian sea salt. Instead of getting one of their full meals, I opted for two sliders: the kalua pork and the Island slider, which was made with fresh, grass fed Maui ground beef. Oh, and I also stole one of my wife's onion rings. They too were superb. Mind you, there's definitely more batter to them than onion, but if that doesn't scare you off, they're excellent. Oh, and I almost forgot the "mac balls" we shared as a starter! The mac balls are in fact macaroni and cheese balls that are breaded and deep fried. Perhaps not the most good-for-you thing on the menu, but they were stupendous! You get 5 of the balls with the starter, so be sure to share with a couple folks. So yes, although it was my first time here, it sure won't be my last. While it can't beat my all-time favorite brewpub, the Wynkoop in Denver, it makes a valiant effort. I loved it!

    Well worth the wait, but seriously the wait was too long. Otherwise this would get a 5 star review. The food was absolutely delicious. Completely satisfying in every way. The beer selection was great. Other than the wait, I cannot think of anything to complain about.

  • Mitchell M.

    Hey! Can we get a little ambiance in here? I know your lineup of beers is phenomenal and all, but would this place could still use a little work. It is a relatively large space situated in the corner of a strip mall. When you enter there are a mixture of picnic and regular tables. The U-shaped bar is in the back right corner, and offers one of the best bar features...an ice rail. For those not familiar with an ice rail...it is just that. An iced rail along the bar where they place your pint to ensure it stays cold throughout. Brilliant! They obviously have all the MBC offerings here including the current seasonals, limited editions, etc. You can purchase by the pint or flight. They also offer growler takeaway service. They sell a souvenir growler (hi-tech, not the glass ones), but not sure if that is only way to get a growler of beer from this place. The souvenir ones run $40 without contents. As i mentioned their beers are phenomenal. They manage to take what most assume to be heavier or 'cold weather' beers and make them drinkable in a tropical beach setting without compromising the intended flavor. Really impressive. They are right up there with Kona in my book. Although, I still don't think they have a comparable beer to the Longboard...scratch that. They do have one...it just doesn't stack up in my book. My only gripe about the beer here is that it is all on tap. I really like the idea of canned craft beers, and happy that more brewers are taking this stance. However, unless I missed it, you can only get draft beer here. Back to the decor...or lack there of. They have some cool keg lights hanging from the high ceilings in this loft style space. However, there is not too much else. I like that other brewers from around the world have put there stickers on the beams at the bar, but I think MBC needs to do something more with this space. The communal picnic tables could be a cool idea to make it more like a beer garden, but as it stands right now...it's just a bar and tables in an open space. Something I can get over for the great beers they put out, but think it would make people want to stay longer if the space was more inviting.

    Second time back this year. First visit twice last March was way better...happy hour was only 4 items at a lower price. We got zucchini strings in a Thai peanut sauce they were just ok. We got the fries with duck fat gravy & they were not good at all! Nachos were great but ahi sandwich was fishy smelling & gross. Our waiter seemed busy & in another world. He barely had time for us. I let him know the sandwich smelled bad & that's why it wasn't eaten & he didn't even say sorry or do anything about it. $100 check for nachos & a few beers. Bus boy was great & on point. He should've been the server. In Maui for 2 more wks & not sure if we'll go back after that experience. So bummed.

    My husband and I had a good experience at Maui Brewing Company. The food was pretty good, especially when compared to a certain brewing company on Oahu. I do not drink beer, but my hubby was really excited to go, so we went. I liked my nachos and I made sure to order them with pork and guac because...there is no other way to enjoy nachos. Oh and most importantly, the nachos are made with real cheese, not that cray cray cheese sauce. My hubby got a burger and he enjoyed it. I will say that the beer samplers are a pretty good deal. My hubby made it a point to order beers he'd never had before and he really enjoyed it. The only disappointment with the beer sampler is that the cups were filled un-evenly. I attached a photo of the sampler as it was brought to our table. One of the beers, which ended up being his favorite beer, didn't get a full pour, so that was kind of disappointing. Also, they have a pretty good selection of t-shirts, for those of you wanting to get a MBC shirt and they are only about $20. Not too shabby. It was a good experience, we would probably go back.

  • Karl S.

    Been drinking the beer, might as well visit the place. Island industrial interior in a shopping center. I would be suspicious of a brewpub in a shopping center, but my local, Thunder Canyon, cured me of that. Beer? What can I say? A great selection on tap. I'm a fan of the blonde, and I've had the Big Swell IPA, but I had a the kolsch. Love kolsch. This one was definitely on the ale/amber side. A little spicy. Interesting take on a kolsch. Of course, I'd like to try all their beers... That means, I must return. Food? I had the Ahi Cobb and my bride had the Black Rock Dip. Both good. Their opening a new brewpub in Lahaina. Excellent. Nay, awesome! These guys do beer good!

  • K R.

    Maui Brewing has a wide selection of beer to choose from. However, out of eight tasters I found only two that I would drink again, and even those I found quite unremarkable. We ordered one appetizer (totchos) and two entrees (wings and fish tacos) all of these had sloppy presentation and were tasteless. I also thought the prices were outrageous for simple greasy bar food. The only redeeming quality was the service - decent considering the restaurant was packed. I should have prefaced my review with the fact I am a Portland native and as such, am completely spoiled by amazing beer and food on nearly every corner of the city.

    We were all so unimpressed with this place. First, let me say we did not have any beer, so that is not being reviewed. We got there and had about a 10 minute wait. The place was packed, which is always a good sign. The server came by and took drink orders. We waited a while and the she came back to take the food order. Each item we ordered was just eh. The captain ordered the buffalo chicken sandwich. It was just ok. I ordered the hummus/pita bread platter and a taco with brisket. The hummus was average and the brisket was so fatty I could not eat it. Other items in the taco were delicious. Son had a plain brat- very small. His fries tasted like fish, likely fried in the same oil as the fish. Daughter had the French dip, which she really enjoyed. The food was brought out quickly once ordered. The server took forever to bring the bill. The area we sat on was dark and tight. Based on the reviews, I was just expecting a better meal. However, I am glad we went and tried it out.

  • Daniella D.

    Good food, lots of options. They have vegetarian options which is nice. I had the seared ahi salad which I enjoyed as did 2 others in my party. My husband rated the Cuban as okay. He thought the pork sliders were "no good" and "dry" but he ate them plain without the bbq sauce. He gave a thumbs up to the fried Mac n cheese balls. I wasn't that impressed with them but I don't really like fried food anyway. They have a wide selection of beers to choose from. There is no beer menu. They have a board with the current beers on tap listed and suggest you take a photo on your phone to refer to. They have several IPAs to choose from which is our beer of choice. The only problem with their IPAs was that except for one they were high in alcohol content and thus came in smaller glasses. A flight consists of 4 samples that you choose. I didn't see the price. We also tried the mana wheat and ginger beer which were good. I must say though that the service is questionable. We went 2 nights in a row and had the same waitress who was very friendly and good. The service gets questionable with the bartender who was slow and unfriendly. The worst was the guy at the door / host who worked both nights we came in. He was just clueless. He seemed so flustered when it wasn't even that busy. We couldn't even buy a t shirt if we threw the money at him. So unfortunately we didn't go home with one. Also I had to practically beg him for a table the second night when I said we wanted just drinks & apps. He told me I would have better luck at the bar which was completely full by the way. I told him no I want my name on the list for a table & he finally relented. He does not make a good impression for those coming in and those leaving wanting to buy a souvenir that's just unfortunate. If I lived on the island I would go there because I like beer and it's the only brewery. I would just try my best to ignore the questionable service & would specifically ask for the girl we had as our server both nights. If your a beer lover & visiting the island there's no question you gotta go.

    The jambalaya was spicy and awesome. Enjoyed a mans wheat and a Maui hef... Great feel and cool server who made sure everything was perfect!

    The "small" nachos with pulled pork is big enough to be an entree, and they taste great. Don't forget the sour cream and guac. Local brews on Maui are amazing. I had the coconut porter. It was deliciously smooth and paired great with the nachos. They also do beer cocktails. Try one and you won't regret. They make their own catsup and is really good. Order a side of fries and check it out.

    This was walking distance from our timeshare we so came here twice in our week stay. The food was good! My boyfriend loved the ahi sandwich and the maui beef burger was delicious. I also had the pub plate which was okay, nothing special but not bad. The root beer they make was tasty and my boyfriend really liked the double overhead ipa. Didn't sit at the bar but they have an ice bar where you can rest your drinks on to stay cool. Also like that it was never over crowded so we were seated right away and food came out fast.

    First time here the food is amazing and the beer is good my personal favorite is the old viscosity strong ale. And the service is out of this world very friendly and laid back

    Four stars doesn't seem fair enough compared to all the other restaurants we have tried on the island. If you want the best bang for your buck and you like unique organic offerings you need to eat here. The poutine and tots dynamite are amazing and the adult mac and cheese is to die for. Pair all this with great beer and you can't lose. If you need a break from island food this is the best choice.

  • Jeff W.

    Large nacho's. Serves 4 adults if you ask me. Piled high with pulled pork, jalapeños, guacamole and cheese! I'd recommend the small for 2 people and then maybe you'll have room for another appetizer. Leah was our server and she was super nice! She helped up pick our beers and they were both winners! A must stop in Maui!

    This place has a great "feel" to it. Focus is on the beer. Big colorful menus of the walls of this warehouse interior. Old kegs have been repurposed as light fixtures over the concrete floor and large wooden tables. That is the best they have to offer. This is a place able to cash in on the micro brewery phenomenon. My father and I are big beer guys. We like to try alot of different brews and see what the local flavors are when on holiday. MBC has a wide variety of beers on tap, which all turned out to be generally average. Our order: barefoot brew, coconut porter, bikini blonde, milk of amnesia stout, big swell ipa. Burgers and a plate of nachos. All of which were overpriced. The beer was all decent, not great.The food was underwhelming. But we're tourists right? And the novelty of a brew pub is always enticing. I know THIS REVIEW IS NOT FOR EVERYONE. If you're big into beer then it's worth a try to see what maui can do, but go for happy hour to get a couple tastes.

    Nice 4 minute walk from condo, 2 of us seated in 15 minutes or less. Service pretty good, ordered slider well done and came bright pink but waitress took it back for a new one. Cane sugar root beer is a must try

  • Allie H.

    This was my second time at MBC and this time definitely made up for the first one. We showed up right before happy hour ended and got a seat right away, plus they still gave us happy hour price for our beers! We had the coconut porter and it was AMAZING. I'm not much of a porter drinker, but I am already looking at where I can find it on the mainland. Probably my new favorite beer. To eat we had a wedge salad to split, it was a nice portion and had everything we could have asked for in a wedge salad. Very tasty. I had the buffalo sandwich, spicy with blue cheese and grilled onions as well as lettuce and tomato if you wanted. I thought it was just enough spice and would definitely order it again. My mom had the black rock dip which she said was also really good, especially with the horseradish added to the sandwich. Both came with fries that were beer battered and very good. The ambiance is definitely that of a pub, dim lighting and people everywhere. It was loud and we had a large group next to us, but we knew that it was a pub and expected it. Don't expect anything else, it was a fun atmosphere with helpful staff. Our server, Jacob was attentive and helpful when we needed him. He was quick and we were in and out in an hour or so. Overall we had a great time and will definitely be back on our next trip.

    Excellent food, atmosphere, and staff. I had the fish taco and the short rib taco. Both had a generous amount of meet and fish in them and the flavor was outstanding. The beer choices were great and our waitress let us sample a few before we ordered.

    Came here for dinner one night. Had about a 45 minute wait for 2 people. Ordered the tater tots and shared a burger. Our food took very long to arrive. The burger was average at best, although the tater tots were pretty good. Add 2 beers and we ended up paying $50 for dinner; not worth it. It is a big restaurant so good for larger groups, but the food doesn't compare to everywhere else we ate in Maui.

  • P W.

    Great local spot in Kahana. Plenty of in house brewed beers on draft. If you are not sure what to order and you want to try a bunch of beers, get the sampler! You get 4 four ounce pours so you can try whatever piques your interest. The beef is grass fed, organic, and local so the burgers taste amazing. Everything is fresh and the flavors are all solid. The service is friendly, great energy. They take good care of kids too! It doesn't feel strange to have families in here, even though it's a brewery! They make their own root beer, great for kids to try a real root beer made with sugar and not corn syrup.

  • Molly G.

    Awesome spot! Tons of local brews and great staff that know their stuff. Very accommodating and hospitable. Had a good survey of a lot of their brews and really enjoyed the atmosphere. Brew pub/industrial gastropub. Didn't eat but will be back, food looked absolutely killer. Christian is the best!

  • Stephanie M.

    I was a little disappointed that the actual Brewery wasn't near the Brew Pub (tourist FAIL!), but, we were seated by a lovely host and got our drink on. I love the high ceilings, keg lamps, and it definitely feels like a pub. Definitely get beer other than what's normally canned in stores because they have some amazing options that I'm sure rotate year-round. They have fun picnic-like tables inside so great for groups or parties. Food looked pretty typical of bar-food, but was just ok. Nothing too spectacular. Service was fantastic and she was very helpful when we were decided our tasting. Food and beverages came out quickly. Next time I'll make sure to visit the brewery as well. :)

  • Michael T.

    Maui Brewing Company beer is great. If you come for food you will be disappointed. We have a couple breweries back home where the food is great so I had high hopes for this place. Yelp reviews really falsely advertised on this place. Food was ridiculously expensive for being not good at all. Service was terrible for the place not being busy at all. All the servers were just chatting before I had to get up to go ask for another beer (I waited 10 minutes). Really bummed because Bikini Blonde is absolutely delicious.

  • Kevin P.

    A great place for lunch and beer on tap. Very friendly atmosphere. What to order? For me I recommend the Sear Ahi Sandwich. Perfectly sear nice and rare and season. There fish and chips was also great. The fish they use was an Alaskan Cod that also was cook perfectly crispy on the out moist inside. Ann our waitress was outstanding and she also work the brewery. Very cool place to go with a big group. Give them a try if you're in Maui. Plus stop by their brewery too.

  • cheryl b.

    Went here for dinner and drinks, and it was just okay. We had tots, a fish taco, the curry, and a pork slider. Other than the tots, which were yummy, everything else was just average bar fare. My dining companions had a local pale ale that was decent but not great, and a hot blonde (chili pilsner) that was not that spicy. I had a mai tai that was ok, but nothing memorable.

  • Tierney H.

    I would describe my experience at the Maui Brewing Company as fan-effing-tastic. Great atmosphere, great food, and great beer (I'm told-- I had to stick with cider). For a resort town the prices were extremely reasonable. I highly recommend the wedge salad and the fresh catch.

  • Denise R.

    Wow this place is great! So many different beers and food is excellent! I just hAd the homemade jambalaya with a chorizo broth shrimp, chicken, bell peppers and celery with rice. Yummy and I just found out the also make there own root beer! I'm having one with a shot of Vanilla vodka! I'm in heaven..

    We went here a few times during our vacation because it was so close to our hotel. Not sure if we would have gone as many times had it been father away though...They do have really good happy hour specials though that vary throughout the week which is awesome. The coconut porter was SO good. I'm not usually a fan of porters but I'm glad I tried it. I tried a variety of the other beers they offered and everything was just okay. I think we're a little beer-snobby living in Oregon with so many outstanding breweries around. The onion rings were honestly the best I've ever had in my life though. They were HUGE and absolutely perfect. I highly recommend them. This is a pretty good happy hour spot.

  • Kendall M.

    Bikini Blonde is a fantastic beer, and good pizza, too. No matter what you do, make sure Maui gold pineapple is an ingredient that makes as a topping on your pizza. Good atmosphere and a nice spot in Maui for a bite to eat.

    How does this place not have more stars?? Delicious beer, awesome people, very Eco-friendly and Eco-conscious facility. We did the tour and got to sample all of the beers afterwards. Would definitely recommend! Love the coconut porter and mana wheat (it has pineapple in it)!

  • David W.

    If you are a beer fan, no trip to Maui would be complete without a visit to the Maui Brewing company. In typical Maui fashion, they are a bit pricey.... For example, They had 12 or so different beers on tap... so I started with a "sampler". What sucks is their sampler is basically a shot glass with your choice of 4 of the 12 beers they have. If they are going to keep the size down to a one ounce shot, they easily could give you a sample of everything.... I mean, most every bar in America will give you a one ounce taste for free.... Not here... those one ounce shots were 1.00 each.. Then when I decided to order a pint or two, they delivered them in 10 ounce glasses... he explained all beers 7% or over are not served in pint glasses... .Hmmm.. So, for all their nickle and dime nonsense, I subtract a star! We had a few appetizers... typical bar food.. nothing special... what you would expect from a brew pub. What I did like was their beer! A great variety ....a little something for everyone... I even tried and liked their root beer! I understand they do brewery tours at a different location, but I was happy killing a few pints!

  • Jessica S.

    This place was a great value, and a welcome break from the fine dining we had been doing most nights of our trip. The coconut porter was a tasty treat, and my Ahi salad here beat the one from Mamas Fish House hands down. We will be back!!

  • Sarah S.

    It's really more of a 3.5 star place. Delicious beer. Fantastic onion rings (they are HUGE, beware-they could serve as a meal). Burgers okay. I had the Maui Pineapple wine (not so good) and an adult grilled cheese. I would not order either of those two things again. I was super excited for the grilled cheese because it sounded like it contained all things I love but sadly the sandwich did not live up to the hype. The pizza looked good though, I'd try that next time! I would totally come back here again, they have a number of things on the menu that sound good and the service is awesome.

  • Tim S.

    Try all the beers here. With the beer sampler, you can taste 4 beers (taster size glasses) of your choice for $6. There were +/- 15 beers or so on tap brewed there to try in total. The food was decent, too. Nothing to write home about. We enjoyed a butter lettuce wedge salad and the veggie pesto pizza. You won't regret visiting. Fun German style Hofbrauhaus tables fill the middle of the room.

  • SouthernFoodie M.

    Had drinks and apps here. We enjoyed the happy hour prices and the amazingly fresh tasting beer. The IPAs were especially good! We liked the ice at the bar to keep your beer cold! Try the Mac and cheese balls. Mmmmm

  • Sharon Y.

    Disappointed! Ok, so the beers are GOOD but the food Well it needs HELP! We had attended a beer pairing dinner at the Hyatt and WOW was that great, so we had expected some of the same quality at the Pub. Not to be! We had the chicken nachos and you could hardly find the chicken and it was cubes of boiled chicken. My husband had the seafood sandwich and was served cold tasteless mystery fish! I had the pulled pork pub plate which was ok except for having sticky rice and potato salad as the side dishes and our son had the hamburger which was room temp and also tasteless. I think its nice to offer a vegan, gluten free menu items but don't ignore the rest of us that don't need to eat that way. This was our second visit and had hoped the menu would have changed but not so, guess this will be our last visit to the PUB!

  • D B.

    The beer is delicious. The coconut porter is one of their best beers. The food is pricey but good. You can't beat a place that makes their own ketchup and mustard. My favorites are the nachos with kalua pork ( big enough to share) and the buffalo chicken sandwich ( homemade sauce that is spicy and sweet). The negative reviews mention bad service. I have only sat at the bar (with an frozen strip around the bar to keep your beer cold. AWESOME!!). I have had no issues at the bar. Even if there is slow service it is still worth it. Can't wait for the next trip to Maui to enjoy this place again!!

  • Jeff J.

    Visiting Maui for the first time. Stayed one week and dropped in here three times... I just couldn't get enough of this place! The sampler is excellent, but my favorites were Big Swell IPA, Freight Train, and Hot Blonde. Everyone loves the coconut porter, but since I'm not a fan of coconut, it just doesn't do anything for me at all. But I can see how/why people like it, so if you like coconut, you'll love this. I'm more of a hop-nut, so the Big Swell IPA was the first and last beer I had here. We tried a few of the food dishes and all were very good, but the Three Beer Chili was fantastic. I had a bowl every visit. The Chili-Cheese Fries, Mac-n-Cheese, Fish & Chips, Meatloaf, and the Bacon & Bleu Sliders were all delish! Friendly staff with a beergarden-feel to the place, just made it very cool. Speaking of cool, there is an "ice ring" around the entire bar. First time I've ever seen one of these and it's a perfect way to keep your drink cold when it's not in your hand. As our former Governor once said ... I'll Be Back! Cheers!

    Visting maui for our honeymoon. We stayed within walking distance. Loved this place. Great beer and great food. Our server Ben was the best! Extremely friendly and down to earth. He went above and beyond the norm for a great server. Best service we received anywhere in maui! Would highly recommended!

    If you like beer and live in Hawaii then you've probably heard of Maui Brewing Company. Coconut Porter, Bikini Blonde, and Big Wave IPA are the three heavy hitters getting distribution (now Mana Wheat but I don't care for it much) but at this brew pub they have plenny other kine kine. I enjoyed the Milk Stout among others and was in heaven with the choices and sampler flight options. The food is ono but a little pricey; decor is casual but modern with high ceilings. I love this place because of the selection of MBC beers on draught and food available, I just wish there was one on Oahu because when I go to Maui I usually don't go to Lahaina, but I guess I have to make the pilgrimage. If you want to try to compare it to Kona Brewing Company I should smack that Wailua Wheat out yo hand.

    HAWAII BREWPUBS DO NOT DISAPPOINT! I'm already a frothing-rabid fan of the Kona Brewing Co. brewpubs, so I expected no less than amazement when I finally made it to Lahaina and the Maui Brewing Co. Super clean interior, with a little of that industrial rock and roll feel to it. There is plenty of table seating, but do yourself a favor and sit at the bar. Here's why: There's a refrigerated slab of frost-covered slate that lines the entire bar. You sit your drink in it to keep it cool. Genius! One thing MBC had that went above and beyond even KBC is a wider selection of beers on tap. I also recommend your sampling those that you can't find canned on the store shelves. Folks have been bashing the food, I see, but I couldn't disagree more. Nothing I ate was bland. I LOVE the beer-battered brie. Cheese doesn't have enough fat, so let's deep fry it in a cholesterol jacuzzi--brilliant! And you dip it into a carmelized pineapple sauce. To paraphrase George from Seinfeld, if it were socially acceptable, I would fill a bathtub full of this stuff and just wallow in it. Seriously, it was sinfully genius. I ate an entire order myself. And the bartender who doubled as my server delivered perfectly every time. With a bountiful selection of food and beers, there's got to be something you'll enjoy. Taste around. If you walk away disappointed, it's your own $#%& fault. I live on O'ahu, but I'm saving up my Hawaiian Airlines miles for another trip as soon as possible. 'Okole maluna!

    Beers great, too bad bartenders not really interested in their jobs. We visited on a Saturday night. We visit breweries all over the world. MBC has a lot of potential to grow. I would love to see their beers more on draft in the Mainland. Need to hire workers that want to teach customers about beers. Bartender was a little rude I couldn't order my sampler quick enough. She finally suggested irritably, 'Do you want me to pick one?" I said sure. Geez...my first time there and I wasn't familiar with the Maui beers! They weren't that busy. We were really looking forward too. Love the Aloha Baktun (Belgian Stout Hawaiian Chocolate) and Mana Wheat (American Wheat w/ Maui Pineapple). We ended up buying one of their hydro-growlers for $50 empty. We would've like to try more beer, but felt uncomfortable at bar with bartenders. If you go, check website first and know what you want. Bartenders don't offer tips or suggestions. Beer - 5 Stars Food- 3 Stars Service- 1 Star

    After eating at marginal and largely over priced restaurants in lahaina, we ventured to Kapalua and Maui Brewing company. The French dip was tops!!! Wife had the buffalo chicken sandwich and daughter had Mac and cheese. After 1 week on maui, eating out every day and night, this was by far the best meal we have had. 5 stars.

    Maui beer is a big discovery this trip since this is the first time I've been back on the island since I was turned legal drinking age (even though that never really stopped me back then). Happy hour is boss. At the glorious hours of 3-6pm and 9:30-midnight (close), they offer $4 pints and $1.50 pizza slices. I was a regular patron during my visit, and I think I've tried most of the beers on tap. My favorites were: Pueo Pale Ale - one sip of this reminded me of a familiar beer. When I read the the description "West Coast style" I knew what it was: Lagunitas IPA. Crisp, refreshing. La Peruse White - citrusy, Belgian like Blue Moon, but with a mild aftertaste. Mana Wheat - the hint of pineapple is spendorrific! Not to mention, they offer delish food. Their onion rings (made with Maui onions of course) were ginormous. Their fish and chips were made with mahi mahi is definitely something unique to the island and can't get on the mainland. I can imagine this would be quite the spot to catch a good game on TV. If you're a big fan of beer in general, this is a must stop!

    I consider myself a regular at MBC which is a big deal since I don't live in Maui. Always our first stop in Maui - sometimes even before our hotel! Love their food, beer and late nights. Although I'm mad they are closing earlier now a days!! They have a late night menu that rocks!

    Had a great time here while on vacation. Plenty of seating, good vibe and great service from hostess to server. Server checked on us several times, always right when we needed something else so timing was perfect. We got a pizza, salad and chicken tenders for the kids. everything was great and we had 3-4 different beers that were all top notch. Can't go wrong at the Brew Co.

  • Justin S.

    Wide selection of craft brews on tap. The taster wise a bit pricey for the quantity, but nice to try lots of beers. God happy hour deal: $4 for any beer on tap. Some decent quality brews, but nothing too impressive. The food was mediocre at best. Very overpriced togo 6 packs, better to just buy it at any local grocery store.

  • Anna V.

    Good beers!and prices are great too,the food is okay.we tried jambalaya which was okay,Mac n cheese I liked it a lot,burger wasnt anything special and we tried nachos by recommendation,everyone enjoyed them.i really like the conception of using their own beer for cooking food,they even have they own ketchup made with bikini blond ale! Service was good,very attentive.hopefully we will be back to Maui one day from California,and next time we will buy those big jars what you can refill with any tap beer!its awesome idea btw!

  • michelle b.

    Love the brews, love the food, love the staff!! Wear their gear on Wednesdays and get $3 pints! Doesn't get better than that! We always buy MBC in our hometown, Los Angeles, but nothing better than having it directly from the brewery while on such an incredibly perfect island. If in the area, be sure to stop by here!

  • Chad B.

    The location you want is north of ka'anapli. Our gps had problems and told us to go out past kapalua. Heading north it is on your left by mcdonalds. We aren't beer drinkers but the food was very good. I had the buffalo chicken sandwich which was sweet not spicy. My wife had the mahi sandwich which she loved. Service was good. Pizzas look really good and on our list the next visit.

  • Brian S.

    Stopped here on our way back from Honuloa bay. Being a craft brew drinker we stop in here every time we are in Maui to see what they are doing with their beers. I ordered their seasonal IPA and the wife had a lager. Both beers were decent, but compared to the quality brews of SoCal, they are a bit of a let down. Taste of both beers was slightly above average, but the mouthfeel and body was seriously lacking. Still worth a stop to check out what they have doing and if you like something you might be able to take a sixer of cans to go. We decided to order a little snack so we placed an order for chili cheese fries. Very disappointed. Fries and chili were both below average and when put together, were even worse. Do not order theses!

  • V H.

    It's a restaurant the bartenders are there to work. Go to the brewery take a tour, take your chip, grab your free pint, and skip this place. Lahaina has better places to eat with a friendlier crowd. The brewery ( MAUI BREWING CO.) only has beer near Lahiana no food, but it has members/workers that still care about the craft, but this place only cares about the $$ not the craft beer but it has food.

  • Andy F.

    I'm not really reviewing the food here. It was fine, noting wrong with it, not amazing, but good standard pub style food. The BEER is AWESOME. I went with two friends and we each did two flights of 4 beers. We pretty much covered the whole beer menu between the three of us and were not disappointed in much of anything. The only thing I didn't like was the coconut porter but that is just a matter of not liking coconut porter. My favorites were the high octane IPA (not the Big Swell, can't remember the name and it appears that it is now off the menu), the Drip Dry Stout (I usually don't like coffee stouts but this was amazingly good, smooth, rich, not overwhelming, I wanted to have it with ice cream), and the Amber Reign (absolutely smooth and refreshing Amber Ale, I could drink it all day).

  • Chris C.

    Food and beer were okay, service was bad. Server brought the wrong beer, I sent it back and got the wrong beer again! Never got any ketchup for my fries. Water glass was empty much of the time. Cuban sandwich was so so. The blonde vinegarette salad dressing was really good. The pineapple dipping sauce that came with bread was really really good. I would probably not come back here tho.

  • Paul L.

    Was there for lunch and the host was a real jerk, we wanted purchased several pub glasses and was not offered a bag and not even a receipt for the purchase only offered an email receipt. His response was that no one was giving out bags on the island, really?... We just were at other restaurants and other establishments that provided bags. The food was decent. The beef stew was good, but the fish and chips were horrible as they were soft not crunchy. They do have a wide selection of beers, but they are written on the wall which was not all that accessible to view. In all our experience was not quite the "aloha" of the island. There are many other places that provided better customer service.

    I visited Maui Brewing Company this past Monday and I wish I could say I loved it. I've visited many brewery's in the past locally in San Diego so I was excited to go to this one. When we walked in the host in the front was extremely nice! We came in to have a quick drink and to purchase some of their products (shirts, pints, etc.). We took awhile to decide what we wanted and what size but in between her helping us she was helping other guests as well and did a great job at it. Thanks again for all your patience! Anyways... We decided to have a seat in the restaurant and the lady brought us some menus. We waited for 15 minutes for service!! The bar was a bit full and there was a hand full or less of tables with customers at them. It also looked like there was plenty of staff to at least walk past us and smile or let us know it will be a few minutes. People who were sat after us got water and service before us. We never received anything at all! I was completely disappointed in the servers. No one one approached us, I even walked up to the bar because I was dying of thirst and just wanted a water. I waited a few mins next to the register and it was like I wasn't even there. I wouldn't visit the brewery again based on the service once we sat down. Sorry to give such a low rating but service is key.

  • Erin W.

    The food was hit and miss. To start we got the beer battered onion rings, which were good. I got the goat cheese tortellini, which was great, but my boyfriend's meatloaf was a huge disappointment. You'd think that bacon wrapped meat would be hard to screw up, but it was dry and bland and you could barely taste the bacon. Beer was ok, but not really memorable. As far as service, the hostess forgot to call our name (we saw the page of crossed off names below ours) and then denied it when we asked after waiting 25 minutes after being told a 15-20 minute wait. She then told us it'd be 15-20 minutes after that. When we pointed out that seemed an awful lot like she'd forgotten about us, she got us the next open table. The server himself though was great, really on top of things.

    I had been wanting to visit the Maui Brewing Company Pub as soon as we started planning out our trip to Maui. I somehow forgot to tell my wife that our condo just happened to be located only a block away from this location... ooops, guess I forgot! Maui Brewing Company has a huge selection of beers, I really had no idea they would have so many to choose from. Of course the beers can be found all over the island of Maui (I'm assuming the other islands as well). But even though you can just buy their beer from any market or store, I really wanted to check out the pub. I like Brew Pub's and although it doesn't have an ocean view or even a very exciting location or interior, we had to go give it a try. Must say my wife and I were both pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food and the good service we received. We started off by ordering the Beer Battered Brie Appetizer and of course I had to try the Beer Sampler. The Beer Sampler was 4 of their most popular beers. Although it wasn't very expensive, I think $4 or $5, I was a little disappointed when they literally brought out the Shot Glass Sampler (aka beer sampler)!! It was 4 shot glasses, filled to the top with one of each beer. So make sure you don't order it to share with a friend!! The Beer Battered Brie was amazing. As simple as it was, half dozen slices of baguette bread and some delicious honey and pineapple sauce with a good slice of the Brie they have coated in a beer batter and fried. Really a great combo and I would suggest you give it a try. We also ordered the Pub Plate, which was pulled pork and potato salad with rice. The pork was amazing, the potato salad was also very good. We didn't really touch the rice but were very pleased with everything else and had pretty much already had our fill. I'm now trying to hunt down Maui Brewing Co. beers back here on the mainland. Whole Foods has them and a couple other places as well. But if your a beer lover, you gotta check out the Brewing Co. I would just suggest you skip the Beer Sampler and order some of their more unique beers that you may not be able to find elsewhere.

    Very cool local brew pub. Packed with locals on the day I went. Tried multiple beers and was impressed by them all. Bikini Blonde appears to be the go to signature beer. Service was very friendly but slow. There was a benefit the day I went an they were understaffed. Other than that this place is a must if you are in the area. Food is good to!

    Upon our trip to Maui, we had heard that this brewery was an absolute must-see. We made the drive later in our trip (and later into the night) and we were only able to order from the late night menu. Sad face. If we had more time, I'd insist we return to try the full menu. I had the Island slider which was a small burger topped with BBQ sauce, pineapple rings and red onion. It was the perfect size for a late night dinner and full of flavor. My husband ordered the nachos which were HUGE! More than enough for one person - don't worry I ate some too... They were topped with black beans, cheese, chicken, tomato and a side of salsa. There was a charge for guacamole or sour cream - lame, this is clearly not Texas! Nonetheless, they were yummy. Our waitress seemed a little rushed (odd considering how few people were there) and they didnt accept AMEX (if that's a credit card of choice). Oh! Can't forget to mention the beers. I had the Teeny bikini blonde (light beer) and the Lahainatown Brown. My husband had the Mana Wheat (a light beer with pineapple flavors - so good!). These were just a portion of the menu, as there were probably 15 others (including a coconut porter I wanted to try). Definitely worth the stop for some local beer.

    Great beer, great food and super good service. Large brewery with TVs, cute women, beer, women that are cute, TVs, only think I needed was a remote and it would be perfect. Very kid friendly place that can seat large groups. Staff is very nice and wait wasn't too long.

    This is the home of Maui Brewing, and all of their beers are available on tap, including some interesting seasonal offerings. The food is pretty good for bar food. We had the nachos, which were nicely done - crispy with black beans and salsa on top. The wedge salad was also good. The pizzas are interesting and tasty. We had the Hawaiian pizza with Kalua pork, which was very good. The service is a bit weird. Even though they had several open tables, they made us wait 10 minutes to get seated, and the first night we came our waitress wouldn't read us the beer list, even though we couldn't see it on the chalkboard from our table.

    This place is awesome! Beer is great and so is the food. Coconut Porter, Dark IPA, Big Swell IPA, Dry Irish Stout and Father Damien all were wonderful, Coconut Porter is a must though. The Cuban, Nachos and Veggie Burger were all really good; the Black Rock Dip, eh. If you like great beer and on Maui, you must go here.

    Okay, we just got back from a rain-filled vaca to Maui and the first place I wanted to review was MBC because we hit this sucker three times during our 6-day trip. So here goes. Note, I really like this place because of the beer. For the beer alone, I'd give it 5 stars. For the food, I think giving it 3 stars is really too generous (from the one meal we did have in three visits). I like beer. A lot. And a lot of it. So on the first visit, I did 3 samplers of 12 of their beers since they only mass distribute 4 to the States, which is a pity. Here's what I tried: -Black Rock I.P.A. (Black I.P.A.) ***Big Sweel I.P.A. (Big, Bold, Hoppy) ***Coconut Porter (with toasted coconut) -Redcock Doppelbock (German Style Strong Lager) -Freight Train I.P.A. (San Diego Style I.PA .) -Hawaii 90/Wee Heavy (Strong Scotch Ale) -Penguin XX Stout (Foreign Style Stout) -Barefoot Brew (Honey Amber Ale) -(Non-MBC) Port Townshed Brewing Co. Hop Diggity Double I.P.A. -(Non-MBC) Boneyard Brewing SpankDog Experimental I.P.A. And two others but damn, that's a lot to remember after all that. ***Denotes mass-distributed beers You can see by the above list, I'm a hop head. I love my I.P.A.s, especially Doubles, which is why I went and tried Port Townshed's brew. So on this purely drinking first trip, I selected for a Growler-To-Go, the Penguin XX Stout which is awesome. 6.9% ABV. My pregnant wife tried their awesome rootbeer too. Not as sweet as some rootbeers and great, unique flavor. Highly recommend. On the second trip to MBC, I refilled the Growler with Redcock DoppelBock. Awesome, caremel-ly, as the helpful waitress put it. An impressive and strangely unnoticeable 8.5% ABV. On the third trip, right before getting caught in nerve-wracking traffic on our way to Kahului to catch our flight home, we finally got a chance to try the grub. Most importantly, the beer: I tried the Belgian 'La Perouse' (a Belgian style Witbier) which was nice, light, refreshing and appropriately cloudy. Then I moved on to the great Black I.P.A. which I almost got for the first Growler fill but chose the Penguin instead. The Black I.P.A. was equally as good. Service on all three occasions was very good. Now for the food, which I'm sorry to say, really lacked. Granted, we told the waiter that we were in a bit of a hurry to catch our flight so I'm hoping that might have something to do with it, although it really shouldn't. We had been craving Maui Onion Rings on the entire trip. And do you know how freaking hard it is to find these things?? What's the deal? So, okay, this really bothered us so if you'll allow me a moment to rant...after doing extensive research online for the best rings on Maui, the results came in with 'Cool Cat Cafe' and 'Cheeseburger in Paradise'. Really? Okay, so one day, we went for Cheeseburger in Paradise for the better location/view although I understand Cool Cat has the best burgers. We had taken the Sugar Cane Train into town and the gal working the gift shop said that her favorite rings were at Carl's Jr. Uh...Cheeseburger in Paradise it was going to have to be. The rings were not made of Sweet Maui Onions or panko crusted but they were tasty but not particularly memorable and certainly didn't satisfy our quest for MAUI FREAKING ONION RINGS. And now I'm back. So on our first trip to MBC, we saw a fella (or maybe a woman, I couldn't really figure it out) order their rings and they looked damn good and we actually craved them the entire trip so it was nice to finally get the chance to have them. They LOOKED great...big fluffy, almost donut-like rings, beer battered, it would seem and appropriate. But I'm afraid to say, they tasted bland, despite some sightings of pepper through the batter. They have their own ketchup at MBC and while it's interesting and does actually taste like a fresh tomato, I feel it lacks salt and obviously the sugar of our dear Heinz brand ketchup. Now, I've had decent house-made 'Sup but this one was too watery and not tasty enough. It was good to try, as a change, but fortunately they had on hand Heinz Ketchup packets. This helped with the rings but still, we felt dissatisfied. I ate most of them anyway, to fill up for the flight home but we wanted something more. My wife had the wedge salad...and was very unimpressed. Not nearly enough dressing to cover the 4 butterleaf wedges that were on the plate. Absolutely no macademia nuts were there despite being advertised on the menu. And no bacon, as would be customary with a wedge and blue cheese. I had the cheeseburger and wanted to like it. And I seriously don't know why I ate the whole thing because it was one of the worst burgers I've ever had. Way overcooked, not juicy in the slightest. Fries were good and crispy. And it definitely required Heinz ketchup. And sure, if we had had the time, we could have sent the dishes back but there was no time.

    I've been here twice and I really like this place, the food was very good. I just have one MAJOR issue. You cannot buy pitchers of beer here. I have never been to a brewing company where you could not buy pitchers of beer. Good thing they sell growlers! I really like the Big Swell IPA. It is a unique IPA with a very hoppy, toasty taste to it. I hope some day soon like most micro breweries they come out with a doube IPA based off Big Swell IPA. If I ever return to Maui I will definitely stop in for good beer and good food.

    Maui BrewCo was close to our Kapalua condo, so we chose it as our lunch destination on the final day of vacation. Reasons for a 3-star review: a.) seemingly good beer selection, as one would expect. My travel buddy and I both had the Coconut Porter and really enjoyed it; b.) close to Kapalua accommodations; and c.) good quality ingredients in our meals (nachos, the seared ahi sandwich and the veggie burger). Reasons for star deductions: the hostess was either oblivious to our arrival or chose not to acknowledge us, sorting out t shirt purchases for other guests instead. Even a simple, "Hi, I'll be right with you," would have sufficed. Also, the food prep and presentation seemed to be a bit of an afterthought. Decent menu options and good ingredients, as mentioned above, but my veggie burger and onion rings came out without a single condiment. I had to ask for ketchup, and which time, a bottle of Heinz appeared. Also, the onion rings had potential but very little flavor without ketchup. Overall, MBC is headed in the right direction but has room to improve service and food presentation.

    I came here a day after taking a tour of the MBC production facility where they gave me a token for a pint. I'm only commenting on the beer b/c I didn't eat anything. I had the Freight Train IPA and Chinwig English Strong Ale. They were both tasty, well-made brews. I've always longed to have an IPA in Hawaii that was as packed with hop aroma and flavor as the fresh IPA's I've had in the great brew pubs of Oregon and California. I feel like that was finally fulfilled by the Freight Train. After my those two beers I found out I could select a tasting of four beers for $6. I liked getting to taste the four additional beers, but they came in shot glasses. Slightly larger tasting glasses would have been nice, but the shot glasses were big enough to get an okay taste. I wish there was a pub like this on Oahu.

    I've been going to Maui Brewing company since 2 months after they were open. and coming back every year since. Back in 2010 when it was first opened it was amazing, the food was well prepared (same menu as today). The wings I actually loved back then, now they are over cooked and half-assed. The nachos were not burnt and the burgers did not taste like bricks of cow. On this trip I went to MBC 4 times. 1 time to actually eat and 3 just for the beer. The service sucked every time, and the food was meh. We ordered the pork pizza to go the last time, it was phenomenal, and we did not have to deal with the angry employees. BEERHEADS: This is the best place on Maui. I am from the PNW where microbrews are huge, their beer is Amazing, they always have rotating taps with stuff you cannot get anywhere else and the coconut porter float is to die for. The service here is absolute donkey poop. The waitresses don't even talk to each other, the water/beer boy does all the work and hates his life and the bartenders would rather be getting sand in their undies at the beach. Bottom line here: Go for the beer, the beer is 5 stars. The Service is 1 star and the food is 3 stars.

  • Jack M.

    This is just a typical brew pub, nothing more, nothing less. All of the food is good, but nothing special. The staff here is more attentive and friendly than what you typically get at a brew pub. Not worth a special trip, but a solid place to go if you are staying close by or passing through.

    NOTE: The Brewery at 910 Honoapiilani Highway is closer to Lahaina town is only open for tasting on 3 days a week (no food). The brew pub at 4405 Honoapiilani Highway is 7 miles north of the brewery and has a full menu of food and samplers. This review is for the Brew pub. I agree with Christy M. that the food was definitely much better than the past reviews gave it credit for. The sliders were excellent both in taste, quality and price. And they are huge (for sliders) either a quarter pound Maui cattle patty (very tasty) or a Kalua pork (zesty), I tried one of each, and at $3 each... not a bad way to sample a few items. Speaking of sampling, the main reason is to go here for the beer. Although they have a standard sampler set of their famous beers (noted with asterisks next to them on the chalkboard), don't be afraid to ask for your own custom sampler. I tried about 6 different ones I have never had on the mainland, and all of them were good. You can tell they use quality ingredients and all were unique and interesting. The coconut porter is always a good choice, but the interesting seasonals or varieties are good ones to sample. The Black Pearl (coconut rum) and MacNut brown are quite tasty. The Smokestack lager was very smokey but good. One of the best drinkable ones for me was the surprising Maui Cruiser. Simple, yet some hops to make for a great brew. I hope they can/ship more of these for the mainland.

    Their brews were good and decently priced. Went there for lunch with a group of 6 and it was kind of a shitty experience. The food was awesome, but I seemed to be the one person they kept forgetting things for. I can give them a little breathing room because it was the rainiest it's been in about a year there so I'm sure they were swamped. But I had to ask twice for my beer, when everyone had theirs. Then came the food. Everyone else's came out, but mine. The waiter said he'd go back to see if it was ready yet. I can only picture him going in back and saying "holy shit we didn't cook this, PUT IT ON THE FLY"... So I got my meal as people were on the home stretch with theirs. Kinda sucked but I was in Hawaii so there was no way I was gonna shit on them about it. Sometimes you get situations in life that feel like an April Fools joke. This was one of them.

    The boyfriend LOVED the Jambalaya and noted that it was the best Jambalaya he's ever had. I thought it was ok - but then again, I am not the Jambalaya queen! I had the sliders and it was meh. The most memorable item was the "Hot Blonde" ale. It sure was spicy!

  • Shalin P.

    Came here for a mid-afternoon snack and to watch the Celtics-Heat NBA opener. Tried their German-style beer and the Coconut Porter- both were good. They have a board that lists the beers along with the alcohol percentage and the IBU number (International Bitterness Unit). Prices are reasonable- I think the draft beers were all $5 each. Food-wise, we only had the fancy grilled cheese and the onion rings. The onion rings were nothing special but the grilled cheese was actually quite tasty- they used some different cheeses and the bread was crunchy. Interesting seating too- they have a bunch of regular tables but also huge picnic tables in the middle where you sit community style. Our waiter was an older gentleman who seemed friendly and highly knowledgeable about the beers.

    Stopped in twice for dinner and beers. Hawaiian-style pub fare. Kalua pork pineapple pizza: delicious. Seafood burger: pretty good. Kalua pork pub plate: very excellent... that pork...so much food. Mac salad: ok. Onion rings: huge and perfect. Wings: spicy/good. Lots of food; had leftovers both times. Wide selection of their own beers and a few guest taps. The brews varied, but all were very drinkable; some pretty darn good, and some tried something different and maybe fell a little bit short. Gets pretty busy, and the servers can seem a little overspread; but the everyone was friendly and everything came out as-requested. A great place to wind-down the day.

  • Jay W.

    Hot blonde and bikini blonde were good. A lot of the rest of the beers had too much hop for my taste, some of them were also VERY bitter. If you like a lot if hops though, this is your place. Pulled pork was ok too.

  • Nick R.

    What brought me into the pub was their beer. I love Hawaiian brewed beer and back on the mainland I drink either Kona (even though 3/4 of it is not really brewed in Hawaii) or Maui brewed beer (true Hawaiian brewed beer). So while I was in Maui I had to stop by. They have a great beer menu and their 'home' brewed beers are fanastic. Their food is good, nothing that will blow your mind or anything to be remembered. We had the Mac and cheese, fish n chips, various makes of sliders (which aren't really sliders) and meat loaf. I thought their service was terrible. The hostess was very unfriendly and the wait staff was horrible. Received no help from our assigned server, he only took our order and gave us the check, we didn't see him any other time...must've forgot we were there until it was time to leave. I'll save myself the time and money and buy their beers from the store. 5 stars for beer 3 stars for food 2 stars for service.

    Walked in on a big game day and it wasn't crowded at all. Was greeted by a friendly host, but he didn't seem happy that we wanted to sit at a table rather than the bar. We were greeted by a less than friendly waitress. Asked about the sampler beers (we saw other tables with it) and she shrugged us off. Ended up ordering a coconut porter and a barefoot brew. The waitress said those were very popular. Barefoot brew is a light beer and was ok...not anything special. The coconut porter was just flat out not drinkable!!!!!! 2 sips was all that could go down. We ordered a nachos and paid an extra $3 for guacamole and sour cream. It was just ok! We also ordered an ahi sandwich....ick!!! Came on regular sandwich bread! Really? For $15? The food came out really quick, but 30 mins for the check? Come on! I can see how people would like this place because of the ambiance. I'm not a repeat customer, that's for sure.

    The best beer menu you'll find on the Island for sure and one that would give many places on the mainland a run for their money. The food was great and right priced too. The sliders are 1/4 pounders, if you can call then sliders, and everyone of them great. Solid salads, good fries, and the meatloaf kills it. Did I mention they have great beer? So, buy the Big Swell IPA and the Coconut Porter in the can from the brewery for take home. But don't waste the pint on them while at the pub. The Drip Dry Stout and the Pueo Pale both are growler worthy. They also rotate in 4 or 5 taps from different locations, San Diego was featured while I was there but really, those beers were no match for what the MBC had to offer. They have good swag and homemade rootbeer for the kids too.

    I've had MBC's Coconut Porter and decided to visit them in the Kahana Gateway Mall to see where it's made. We decided to eat there and ordered the Kahlua plate, the burger, the Coconut Porter stew, onion rings (half the profits go to an animal shelter) and the humus plate. The portions were generous and we loved the large, crisp onion rings. The wine selection is small, but there is a large selection of beers listed on a chalkboard near the bar. Too many to try all of them service visit! The service was friendly and very good. Want something different? What about a glass of Coconut Porter with a scoop of local ice cream? There's also a yummy rootbeer float for the kids! We're going back for sure.

  • Todd C.

    Good brew pub fare. I had a sampler of really good brew that could easily hold its own on the mainland. Excellent quality and at least 15 different selections all brewed on Maui! This was a surprising find that made for an enjoyable lunch. We tried one of each of the sliders, the chili, the french onion soup, and donuts! Our expectations were met and exceeded. I'll come back for more local brew fact finding before this trip is done.

    Nice microbrew. Somewhat spartan in design and decor so not for the Valentine's Day dinner but other than that, well, it's a bar and just fine. Food was great. My wife and I each had burgers and they were very good - nice size, cooked properly and very flavorful beef. The brie appitizer was excellent and the two beers I had were both great, the Coconut Porter and the Big Swell IPA

  • John M.

    As far as I know, this is the only brewery on the island of Maui which means they could be totally awful and still be successful, but they in fact make some pretty great beers here. Everyone is aware of the coconut porter, but its not their greatest beer by any means... they have quite an array of choices to taste when you arrive in this pretty large and kinda dark warehouse style dining/tasting room. The food we had at lunchtime was pretty decent, but nothing to rave about. Some things other people near by ordered looked pretty good but I came here to drink some beer and did just that... I had 8 tasters while I was here and enjoyed most of them. The "San Diego" style IPA was disappointing...but maybe its because I live in San Diego...and the IPA's here are some of the best. The server wasn't all that attentive, but came around often enough. They have this cool medal surface that surrounds the entire bar that stays icy cold so you can keep your tasters cold and not rush through drinking them. I was impressed by that. Not impressed by the fact that they are on the coastline of Maui and don't have any windows that open out to the amazing ocean views! They opened a door to take out trash and that was the only glimpse of the ocean I had the whole time I was there! I got a cool T-shirt cheap there as a souvenir too.

    Very poor service in multiple occasions, with only one good visit as far as service goes. We were ignored multiple times, even at the bar with few patrons to serve. Food was fairly flavorful and paired well with the beers, though it was on the pricey side. The fried Brie was something we couldn't help but order multiple times. Beers were above average in the big picture, but very good as far as what you can get on Maui. Most servers knew nothing about the beers, and a few of them had serious attitude problems. Hint: if it's 11am and we're the only ones watching a TV, and the other bartender gave us the remote which is still sitting in front of us, then don't come over and take it so you can change it to some lame heavy metal live concert. Atmosphere is cold and industrial, especially at the bar. There seems to be a "locals only" vibe from some of the staff. Music is entirely too loud for daytime hours as well.

    I just want to say that the Maui Brewing Company Brew Pub was probably my favorite place to eat while honeymooning on Maui!! My husband and I went here twice, although we could have gone almost everyday!! On our first visit, we shared the baked brie which also came with pineapple dipping sauce. Holy cowabunga it was delicious!! We ate that right up! I also had the La Perouse beer which was tasty as well! My husband had the Black Rock Beer with meatloaf and I had the fish and chips! The meal was amazing! Bar food at its finest!! Our second trip to the pub was just as good. It was raining outside so it was perfect to be inside eating. I had the Bikini Blonde beer and we again shared the brie as our appetizer. The beer there is great, and our waitress even told us that they sell some of their beer on the mainland (even in Seattle)! When we go back to Maui, we're definitely hitting this place up again!!

    Visiting the Brewco was the piece of cheese at the end of a long windy maze of drive across the north side of West Maui, and boy was it worth it. Maui's brews are great canned, and even better fresh on tap. It was Wednesday so we bought t-shirts to get the $2 on our beers. We sat at the bar and I ordered the following beers in order: 1) Le Perouse White, 2) Mana Wheat Ale (with pineapple flavor - very yummy) 3) Dragleg Lager All are easily kept cold on the frost strip at the edge of the bar. To eat I had the buffalo chicken sandwich which was a very unique take on buffalo-style chicken. Instead of sauce drenched chicken it was a dry, smokey hard-crusted huge piece of chicken. It was great! Best food I ate in Maui.

    Visited 2 times during our visit to Maui- (so far). Seated quickly both times. Mike from Vista CA was our server during first visit- he did a great job. I had a burger- it was juicy, spicy catsup was also very good. Wife`s Pub Plate was awesome. Second visit - we had the Wild Hog pizza, again excellent. Food came out quick both visits . Beer was awesome as,usual. Will go back again before we leave.

    Wow what a hidden gem. The food was great and the service was excellent. I never had an empty ice tea, James was on it. I wish we found this restaurant before our last day on the island we would have definitely gone more than once. We are not big beer drinkers, but that was not a deal breaker as my husband had their brewed root beer and really enjoyed it. The portions were enough for us to share when added to the onion ring appetizer we had. Nice friendly atmosphere away from the crowds. Definitely give them a try.

    We visited MBC three times on our trip to Maui. I've enjoyed MBC's coconut porter for years so stopping into MBC while in Maui was a must. All three visits the staff were great. Food was very good. It's a pub so nothing too crazy. The beer was of course fantastic. I really enjoyed getting to try all the beers they don't can or distribute to the mainland. The stand out for me was their freight train San Diego style IPA. MBC you need to can this or build an underground pipeline from Maui to Seattle to get this to me ;)

    This place was worth the taxi ride! The bar was loaded with flat screens for Sunday NFL viewing! The staff was awesome, providing us with a sample of anything we asked about. The beer selection is nothing short of fantastic! The hummus plate we ordered to counter balance our alcohol intake hit the spot. All-in-all this is a great place to come try a few beers and chill away from the beaches. Pros Beer selection! Coconut Porter! Cool ice zone on the bar to keep your beer cold TVs for plenty of sports viewing Dark brew pub, nice change of pace to the beach Cons Unless you rent a car, you will need to take a taxi (about $20 from Kaanapali) Dark brew pub, not good if you are looking for a Hawaii type drinking/dinning experience

    The book was right, better places to eat in Maui. Beer was warm "because that's the way it should be" according to our waitress. Hamburger was red in the middle because "that's the way a well done burger should be" according to our waitress. What's with the attitude? I am a customer, paying $40.00 for two burgers and two beers. Better places in Maui to eat.

    Nice atmosphere. Our service was poor. Waitress barely checked up on us after my wife and I got our food. Got the onion rings, which tasted like onions dipped in funnel cake batter - not so great. Also got a burger and fries. It was okay. They make their own spicy ketchup and mustard which was a cool touch, but the ketchup was a little spicy for my liking. The mustard was fine. The tap water tasted horrible so you probably want to stick with beer!

    Solid, reasonably priced place for lunch and beer. You'll leave here full and won't even have to cry over the expense. I was surprised to find that this beer bar also had the best Mai Tai on the whole island (believe me, I tried them everywhere). Our server was top notch and made great suggestions on both beers and food. Thanks for recommending the BBQ sauce on the Cuban sandwich, perfect combination, your kitchen should really make that a default!

    I loved our UFC waiter. He was super friendly and told as at length about the beers, and he added a personal touch by humoring my questions about UFC. A total sweetie. I got cesar salad and onion rings. The batter for the rings was some of the best I've had. A lovely place to spend Christmas dinner!

    Every bar, every brewpub in America should take a look at this place. The hardest working bartenders ever, good bar-food, attentive wait staff and a good variety of well-placed TV's make you want to call this "home". But the thing that brings us back to Maui is the wonderful frosty shelf that lines the bar so you can rest your beer in a 1/4" layer of frost. Overall it's decent food at a decent price and probably one of the better values we've found on the island. In my humble opinion, they'd have gotten a 5-star if the beer came out of the tap colder and into a frosty glass.

    If you're a tourist, skip it; the basic beers are served all over the island. The ambiance is horrible. They could have thrown some vintage surfing pictures on the walls, maybe a few turtles, something to make you forget that you're in a strip mall. Yes, the beers are good but there are so many better places to check out on the island. One cool thing was they had two guest beers from San Diego on tap, Pizza Port and Coronado Brewing Company.

    Beer battered Brie is disgusting. You can tell the Brie is old and ammonia-y. Eww. Burger slider is a puck. Kalua pork is decent but better can be had elsewhere. Beers have a weird aftertaste. They need a better beer master.

    My wife and I came here 3x on our honeymoon! We loved it! This place is very solid! The beer selection is great. I got the flight of beers with the bikini blonde, coconut porter (as recommended by fellow yelpers), mana wheat, and 808 crystal wheat! The mana wheat was my favorite! Clean, crisp brew with hints of local pineapple. My wife and I got food as well. High quality ingredients and tasty food to go along with fresh brew. Love it!

    Great beer and surprisingly good food. We tried a few of the 4oz beer samples, many of which we loved. We tried the zucchini spirals, pizza, brats, curry and mixed plates. All were yummy and everyone was happy.

    I was super excited to try some new beers from Maui and they did not disappoint. The Imperial Coconut Porter was worth my trip to Hawaii by itself. They also had some amazing food. I got some sort of pickled beef dish the first time I visited, it was perfect with an IPA. Debbie R., yes there are some similarities between Kona (InBev) and Maui. That is probably because Kona is trying (and doing a poor job) to copy the great things a true craft brew company, like Maui Brewing, is doing.

    I've been to many breweries and was excited to come across the Maui Brewing Company with my husband on our recent honeymoon. Our waitress acted like she hated her job so service sucked and I didn't love any of their beers. We started with a flight and I ended up ordering a bikini lager, which I didn't even finish. It's so humid in the restaurant that drinks get warm fast. I ordered a pork slider and macaroni salad. The slider was great- the macaroni salad was not. My husband ordered the nachos, which were good. Unfortunately, later that evening, my husband experienced a huge headache and thought it was probably because of the beers. Very underwhelmed here.

  • Stacy S.

    Came here on a Thurs. night and it was packed around 8pm! Got seated fairly quickly though. I got the 4-taster (porters & stouts) and 2 sliders (mana wheat short rib & kalua pork). The beers were outstanding! My favorite is the coconut porter. The sliders were excellent as well. I preferred the short rib to the kalua pork, but both were great. Service was friendly. Overall a great little brewpub!

    I wanted to like this place more than I did. It just had a kind of weird vibe to it. Can't really put my finger on it. It was weird that the bartenders didn't give us any information about tasters or how much that would cost or anything like that. Perhaps we just looked like locals who already knew everything. ;) I tried probably around 8 beers over two days. All were great. I also had the nachos one day. They were good, and the small size was plenty. They were sold out of small stickers, bummer.

    First time here and I have to say...I will absolutely be back. The food selection was a little small but it's the beer selection you come for and that list had plenty on it. Food, we had the dynamite tots with bacon as a starter and they were delicious, but that's easy, who don't like tots and bacon, right? As for my main dish, I had the Cuban, very good but also the reason I give this place 4 stars and not 5. Needed more mustard so it was a little dry also, we're in Hawaii, home of pulled pork.....PILE IT ON THERE! Last, the sandwich was not buttered and pressed. Now the beer....had a flight. Home front IPA, Hot Blonde, 808 crystal wheat, and the star of the night, Coconut Porter....do yourself a favor and stick to the coconut porter, you'll thank me for it later, I promise.

  • nital p.

    Went here for the first time (Jared was our server) and we ordered the Kale Salad with wasabi dressing, the Adult Mac' and Cheese, and the veggie burger. All great. Then we got the Coffee pie - way better (and less heavy feeling) than Hula pie! We came back 2 more times(Christian and Jason were our servers, respectively). My husband loved the Coconut Porter ale they make. We got the Coffee pie each time too. Shout out to Jared! He recognized us the 2 times we came back :D

    We originally came here to try more of there beer since we got a taste of it while golfing. However, we discovered that the food here is pretty tasty too! The burger is amazing as well as their tacos!!! ...and the beer...well it's def been a pleasant surprise!!! There are so many options to choose from so whatever your taste is they are certain to have something for you! Come here and taste the food and beer and if you're not sure which one you want then get a flight and sample a few! This will be a regular spot for us and I'm excited we found it!!

    Double Overhead (hoppy-malty deliciousness) and Doppelshot Doublebock (smokey) are outstanding. Go here to get away from the touristy, corporate-lame scene.

    Maui Brewing Company - are you somehow related to Kona Brewing Company? I was hoping so when we decided to go here. . . . I was not disappointed. I think they are somehow related, because they had similar beers (i.e. Coconut Porter, similar to the CocoBrown at Kona). The food is similar as well. Sandwiches, flatbreads, salads. . . . with a few exceptions - similar style of dining. Really enjoyed my dinner here.

  • Denise G.

    Stopped by for quick bite, had pregnant daughter & 17 month old and myself......it took well over 40 mins to get 3 appetizer! What? We were so frustrated. To wait that long in fine dining is expected and acceptable but a brewery! What am I missing here? Restaurant was maybe 2/3 full so no excuse. Our waiter although nice, was anything but attentive and again not looking for white glove service, it's a bar for God sake, but I am looking for timeliness and to have someone care that I'm there! A beer lover? Then maybe your place. Desperate for a quick decent hire..,,,.keep moving on! Bummed.

    We stopped in to the MBC for dinner after a round of golf at the nearby Kapalua Bay Course. We were not disappointed at all. Great service and friendly staff--Nicole was awesome! The brews were fresh and cold and the food was excellent. We started with the philo-Brie app and it was devine served with a light pineapple sauce. The Mac-n-cheese was the bomb as were the fish tacos, black rock dip and BBQ pork. We will return!

  • Glenda J.

    Not too long of a wait to be seated at a table. What I liked about this place is that you can choose a quiet table in the corner or sit in the middle where it's all happening. This is a vibrant warehouse type bar with high ceilings. Ordered a beer flight: choose any 4 - 4 ounce pours. Happy hour is $1 off beers and $1.50 pepperoni pizza slices. We ordered the Kahlua pork pub plate. Glad to have chosen the waitress's recommendation! Tender pork served with a tangy BBQ sauce, white rice and macaroni salad. Delicious! My only thing I would do differently if I return would be to stay away from the darker beers. This does not pair well with the pork. By 5:30, this place was starting to get busier and noisier. This is expected with the acoustics from high ceilings. Still a fun, lively place to go enjoy good food and good beer! Service was attentive. Table cleared promptly. Will be back!

    We made a point to check out Maui Brewing Company to check out some of their craft beer. We had already eaten at a nearby restaurant, so I can't speak to their food, but they have quite a selection of interesting beers. We tried a number of their brews. We enjoyed a few, but weren't as impressed as we were hoping after hearing how great they were. Overall, it's worth a visit, but our expectations were not met.

  • Gabriela W.

    Their veggie burger deserves 4 stars. Skip the spicy ketchup and ask for the real thing. The veggie burger is packed with brown rice and other delectable grains. Well done, Maui Brewing, well done. The nachos will disappoint. The beer-infused salsa needs more chiles, cilantro, onions, and less beer. It also needs more pico the gallo.... Stick with the veggie burger if you're vegetarian. FYI, you can't order takeout between 6-8 p.m.

  • Neil W.

    Love the Kahana location and we went back multiple times. We sat up at the bar. It is a great place to sit. They have an ice channel to set your beer on to keep it nice and cold. The brewers know what they are doing here. When I am in Hawaii I don't normally want a porter, IPA, or amber... light and cold is what I normally wanted. The CocoNut Porter is really what I want now. It is surprisingly light; I could drink many of them. It is one of the best beers I have ever had and coming from the NW that is saying something. But don't stop at the porter, the others are great too. My wife tried the Mana Wheat with the pineapple. I would think this would be a sweet beer, but it just had the essence and it was really good. The food was good too. The wings are awesome. The fried brie... yes please. The staff was very friendly and the music was good and at a good level.

  • Jose C.

    The brewery lived up to its fame, as it had great tasting beer and delicious food. I personally had a root beer and some friends ordered two flights of beer and had the chance to try some of the acclaimed beers this brewery has to offer. The food was surprisingly superb. I was expecting the food to be just fine, but was pleasantly surprised to find out their beer battered brie was full of flavor, their onion rings were hot and tasty and the wings had a surprising heat to them that elevated the dish from ordinary to exceptional. The service was prompt, genuine and friendly. All these factors contributed to a great review. If you happen to find yourself in Maui, make a trip to Lahaina and visit this brewery... you won't regret it!

  • Grace G.

    Great service, wonderful food I had the adult Mac and cheese it was very tasty. Cheesy, and truffle oil, with a little bit of hear yummy in my tummy! My husband had the black rock dip which was tasty, crispy fries with the house made beer ketchup were great. Had just enough room for dessert we shared the coffee pie which was very delicious and plenty to share!

  • Stella K.

    We arrived at lunch time. The brewery was hoping with customers and friendly faces. We were immediately seated at a big rectangular table! The host was very friendly and made some suggestions on the menu. Travis, our waiter, showed up a few seconds later a took our drink order. He was very knowledgeable of the variety of beers sold at the brewery. In addition, he was helpful on deciphering the menu. Our meals came.... Macaroni and Cheese...good, but needed more cheese Jambalaya ....good Pork Nachos...good, but most of the cheese was on the bottom. It would have been better to have some one the top. Our waiter,Travis, was amazing! Our waters were never less than half full and he routinely checked in with the table to make sure we had everything we needed. We had a variety of different beers. They all were tasty! We will be back!

  • Victoria O.

    Just passed by for a few brewskis and this is a great spot! I would recommend trying the beers brewed on Maui! We enjoyed one of their flagships called the Mana Wheat (light beer with a hint of pineapple) and the Bikini Blonde (also a nice light beer). We also tried the Hot Blonde which was a light beer with a hint of chili that you can feel on your tongue after a sip. Along the bar they also have an ice strip where you can place your beverages on to keep your drink cool.

    Great beer and pub food! Had the mana wheat pineapple beer... So good! The tater tots were yummy! Cuban sandwich, pub plate were good too. Adult mac n cheese was amazing! Would go back to try more of the beer selection!

    Good beer-- good fun. But even better is the brewery in Kihei where we tried a flight of 8 beers of our choosing and played the giant connect four game. Well worth the visit. Then go across the street to Pig, Cow , Bun if you are a fan of excellent cocktails and good sandwiches.

  • Zohra B.

    This used to be our favorite place on Maui, and it's still up there, but the service has been a little spotty the last couple of visits --- even at the bar. We are still huge fans of the nachos w/pork, pizza (go for happy hour and get $1.50 slice of pepperoni!), and their ahi sandwich. The TVs can use some upgrading, but you only really notice if you've come in to watch a game. It's fine if it's just background noise. We look forward to the new location opening in Kihei.

    I love MBC beer and I am so glad I was able to stop in during our trip to Maui. We tried most of the beers they have on tap that they don't can. So sad that i will be moving back to the mainland next week and won't have access to MBC beers :(

    Really great beer! I ordered the Mac & Cheese balls. They were delicious. I can't remember what the dipping sauce was but I know I liked it. I also purchased a couple growlers for the go. Can't wait to drink these at home! They also have flights so I tried every single beer on the current menu. I definitely felt good afterwards!

    We love to support this local and sustainable brewery! A must stop every trip to Maui, and worth the drive. They have great service and mellow atmosphere. The beers are quality and delicious. Food is expensive!! Or else I would give them 5 stars. TIP: They just opened the new brewing location in Kihea! Huge new facility with tasting room rumored to open by 2015.

    We've visited a lot of breweries and this one is definitely up there on our list. The beer is amazing. I was also impressed with the overall space and I liked the ice counter that they had on their bar to keep their flights cold. The food is actually really good and their servers were very friendly. We even enjoyed the trivia in the bathrooms, too. Make it a point to get out here, then hit Black Rock on the way back!

    Great service and awesome beers. The food leaves a little to be desired but how often do breweries have killer food? Got my craft beer itch scratched, filling my growler 3 times plus a 40 oz growler once in 4 days, all with shifting winds ipa! Aloha

  • Naomi L.

    The restaurant is a little underwhelming and not that easy to find. If you are using google maps to navigate to the address, it shows that it is right along the highway. It is in fact, just beyond the point on the map, take a left on Hoohui Road and it will be on the right in a small strip mall like structure. The restaurant itself was like a chain brewery, for example The Ram, and had similar food with "Hawaiian" influence. The beer is delicious on tap, but not priced any different than other bars on Maui. Same goes for the price of beer to go in cans - might as well buy it at the grocery store. The service was competent but also underwhelming. Overall, I would not recommend coming here, especially if you are staying on the other side of the island and have to drive a long way. It is not worth the drive for the food, beer or the experience.

  • Laurence K.

    What's better than not being able to find the place because your phones nav system Is all ag' Up?? The answer is once walking in and sitting down the bartender sends 2 beers over to you !! It works for me Bikini Blonde quite tasty second beer Coconut Porter Hey who doesn't like coconut?? Rich Carmel flavors toasty coconut yum yum the pork sliders were prob the best I've ever eaten and the sauce is off the hook ! The burger was also really really good . Between the beer which is quite good and the food which is great I will definitely come back and tell others about this place !!

  • Kate R.

    Great casual place and good beer! We tried a flight of beers with nachos and a chicken salad. Oh and a fish taco too. The service was great. They had good recommendations on the menu. If you're looking for something casual, I recommend this place!

  • Peter S.

    Unfortunately the service killed the night. ..the drinks, apitizer and main course arrived at the same time. ..my order was incorrect and I was served fries instead of the tots....was not asked if I or my guests wanted a refill on drinks. ..let alone did not come by once other then to deliver the check. ..food was good but the service was bad enough to convince me the place is on its way down. ...too bad for them as we have a condo for two weeks down the block and we were looking for a place to frequent. ..scratched off the list. ...oh BTW $80 with tip for two flights, one burger, two sliders, two root beers and tots...whaaa

  • lucinda k.

    Mmmm, This was a great dinner- bonus is that they have a couple vegan selections. I had the yummy pineapple tofu coconut curry and pineapple wine. The food was great, reasonably priced, and judging by all the tables being full, we aren't the only who think so... I can't imagine everyone was there for the football game (but I guess I could be wrong) :)

  • Ray M.

    Food is merely good, beers are great, the service is top notch. While taking a number 2 here I ran out of toilet paper. I was able to call the restaurant and have them deliver to me within seconds a fresh new roll of toilet paper. For that I give MBC an A.

    We were hiking all day and wanted a quick bite. We had seen this place earlier in the day. Stopped in and got a bite. My husband and I both got burgers. They were good. He ordered a few of their beers said one was better than others. He liked the Black Swell. Staff a bit short but efficient. My biggest complaint the ketchup and muster. Extremely odd compared to the continental states. I saw another table with a "real" Heinz bottle and went and got it. The ones they brought were more like hot sauce. Nothing wrong with it but not what I was expecting. Additionally, the buns had grains toasted into the top of them. Not my favorite. Again nothing wrong but not my choice. Two burgers and two beers $45 with tip. Something different and not as touristy.

  • Eric R.

    Decent beer, decent food, typical brewpub atmosphere. Having been to so many breweries and brew pubs, I can't say there's anything that absolutely stands out about this place. That being said, it fits the bill for exactly what a brewery/brewpub should be. They have a nice decor with some unique features (kegs turned into lighting elements, exposed ceilings, etc.). The beer is pretty good all around and has its own Hawaii spin on it. They have a nice variety of beer here (20 taps I think) as opposed to the actually brewery down the road that only had like 4 taps. If you're thinking about going to the brewery down the road in Lahaina, save yourself time and come here. At the brewery it's not too bad when getting a pint but in the stores the beer is outrageously overpriced. 6-pack of cans costs $10+ dollars in most places and, although decent, the beer is not that outstanding.

    This place is really cool and has great atmosphere. We ordered the mana wheat and la perouse white, they were good! We have also tried their bikini blonde at other restaurants on the island before. They have a large menu (they even have options for kids!) and there beer list was impressive as well. We ordered the chili cheese fries for a snack and they were very yummy except that my husband found a tiny piece of tin foil in the chili. That's why I am giving this place 4 stars instead of 5. We will definitely come back here again on our next visit!

  • Lani M.

    Food was pretty good and some of the beers were good, kind of hit and miss. The service was awful though. The hostess looked like she wanted to be anywhere but there and most of the servers had a bad case of resting bitch face with a matching attitude to boot. The atmosphere is also kind of cavernous and sterile which I don't think is very fun for a brewco.

    (3)

    Great food and very good beer selection. Wait staff is attentive and knowledgable. The only reason this place didn't get 5 stars is the fries were cold. Definitely try the shredded zucchini with spicy Thai peanut sauce!

  • Joseph M.

    I enjoy visiting local breweries whenever I am in the area. The food was decent, though overpriced for the quality. I avoided the wings per other people's recommendation & went with the Dip... again, pretty good, just a bit overpriced for the quantity. My kids' meals were subpar (cheese pizza & mac n cheese) & my wife settled for the chicken caesar salad... again, not impressed for the price. As for the beers. I have had a couple of their canned beers before, but wanted to try something different hoping I would like them better. Wasn't impressed at all. And the flight I ordered was only filled 3/4 up each... lost 25% of my beer to poor bartender pours. Also, because they don't set a price on their flights (only a range, like $8-$14), I didn't know how much I was paying for it until I got my check - thumbs down. My issues are simple... no set price for their flight of beers & no kamaaina or military discount. It was nice to say I have been there, but I have no desire to go back!

  • Stephanie C.

    Great beer and great food. We had 3 samplers - Barefoot was our favorite. We came last time we were in Maui in 2013 and made a point to go back because the beer is just that good. I just wish they had more of their brews on tap in the Seattle area.

    A friend of ours recommended that we go to the Maui Brewing Co while on vacation. There menu had so many delicious things that it made it hard to choose. I had the buffalo chicken sandwich that had bacon and blue cheese Mmmmmmmm. Their beer batter fries were very good too! Our server brought me a couple of samples of beer to try before making my decision. Both my husband and I love the Mana Wheat, which has a light pineapple flavor. We have continued to purchase after we returned to Phoenix. Their prices are really reasonable, and the service was greatI'll be back the next time I make it to Maui!

  • Erin O.

    Great visit here with friends and very accommodating for those of you with kids. Good beer and typical brewery menu. My wife had a Cheese burger, my son had the kids grilled cheese, and I had a chicken sandwich. Standard fare but good. The beer was great and if you can get a spot at the bar the t have an interesting frozen or iced perimeter that you can.rest your beer to keep.it cold as you drink. I really like that for some reason. Anyway, good spot for a beer and pub food!

  • Karl I.

    Came to Maui for only a week. Ate dinner here twice! You gotta try the Hot Blonde (beer). It's got a peppery kick ready for the back of your throat. The Rye't Beer, also surprisingly tasty. If you need help picking a flatbread, go for the Grind. The wings are also pretty good. The only thing I'd say needs improvement were the zucchini spirals. I really wanted them to be good, but they needed a little more flavor, a spice or pepper to make um pop. But hey, get yourself a flight of beer tasters and enjoy what Maui has to offer.

    (5)

  • Kim H.

    I LOVED this place! Depending on where you're staying on the island, it may be a bit of a drive. It's near Kahana. It's totally worth it though if you want to try some local brews and eat delicious food. We all got flights to try a variety of beers. They have a wide spectrum, from 5% ABV lagers to 10% ABV IPAs. The food is really good too. They make an amazing veggie burger--highly recommended. Good fries, good hummus plate... oh, and the fried macaroni balls are awesome. I wish we could have come here every day of our trip!

    Overall, the food was very good at the Maui Brewing Co. I gave it 4 stars because it was sooo loud in there and it is hard to find on the GPS, but if you are looking for something that pleases everyone, this is a good spot. Try the nachos and the buffalo chicken sandwich!!

  • Brian T.

    We stopped by Maui Brewing Company's pub because their tasting room at their brewery was closed. We sampled a flight of 4 beers - a seasonal flavor that I can't recall the name of, the Coconut Porter, Bikini Blonde, and the Mana Wheat. The Mana Wheat was really interesting because it was brewed with pineapples and you could certainly taste it. The Coconut Porter was a mix of chocolate, coffee, and coconut. A bit bitter and reminded me of Guinness but with a Hawaiian twist. The Bikini Blonde was fairly light. The seasonal flavor was alright but had a noticeably bitter aftertaste. It was definitely a fun exercise in beer experimentation and I recommend anyone who likes to sample beers to come in and taste a flight. I still prefer the Kona Brewing Company's Longboard Lager and Big Wave Golden Ale to any of the four I sampled though. I would definitely recommend the Mana Wheat for everyone to try. It's a memorable and fun one.

  • Geoff Y.

    Come here for the beer, but don't expect too much service wise. Waitress was almost non existent and very inattentive. Beers are good though, and my guess is that if you sit at the bar, you won't have the wait staff issue. Oh, and they were also out of glass growlers?! Not sure how that happens at a brewery, but ok. Had to drive down to the actual brewery in Kihei to get a growler, which was ok, since we were down that way the next day anyways. I ordered the Cuban sandwich which was different than any Cuban I've ever had since it was made with pulled pork. I enjoyed it, but the service brings down their overall rating.

    (3)

  • Travis H.

    Straight forward brew pub. Being in LA you only get about 3 to 4 of there beers canned. They have a good selection on tap and limited release. I would think with there Stone deal there will be collaboration in the future wroth SD breweries. Food was not bad. Had a pizza that was grubby and filled the tummy, service was attentive and good knowledge of the beer.

    (4)

  • Clayton C.

    The space is a large, open room which is surprisingly not too loud despite the number of people/tables. Good selection of seasonal and year round beers. I tried a number of beers, all were delicious. Ordered the Pineapple Curry (added chicken) based on the server's recommendation which was tasty and full of fresh veggies. The service was friendly and attentive. I'll be going back soon to try a flight of beers (which I didn't realize I could order until after my meal).

    Really good island brew, with some decent food to match. There are a couple dozen beers on tap, but unfortunately, they only sell a few beers by the can. Don't bother ordering any of those here as EVERY other place in Maui carries the cans on their drinks menu. They get an extra 1/2 star for using the word "vegan" on their menu.

    Good atmosphere and service. Reasonable prices and portions. So, why am I ambivalent? Because I had some gastrointestinal issues following our meal that I can't attribute to anything other than the meal I had there. I have a pretty good digestive system that rarely acts up, but it cerainly did after eating at Maui Brewing Company. I had a Coconut Porter to drink and a hamburger with cheddar cheese and grilled onions, along with the french fries. Nothing spectacular or particularly unusual, right? That's what I thought, but perhaps it was the 'medium to medium well' (their description) cooking of the burger. Regardless, overnight I felt crappy and that rarely happens to me. It's also worth noting the burger was bland and sloppy to eat. My wife had the veggie burger - also bland and sloppy / messy to eat. Yeah, they were busy, but that's no excuse. Based upon ratings and reviews we expected better. Disappointed.

    Expected more from this place. Our waitress was chill but the other people were kinda careless, maybe better customer service will help. The beers were good but the food wasn't so great. Maybe came in with high expectations but for all the awards they have received and the hype, was hoping for better.

    I guess you don't go to a brewery for the food. Love their beer and beer selection, but not a fan of the food. I would give the food 2 stars. In a table of six no one thought their order was even above average. It is awesome, however, that they are the biggest supporter of the Maui humane society and donate half the proceeds from the veggie burger to that cause. Would go back for the beer; but I would eat dinner before elsewhere.

    It's a decent place to eat if you don't feel like going into Lahaina. It was close to the condo...walking distance. I had a burger and tried a few different beers. Beer is cold!! Burger was fair. It is a brewery. We have eaten here a couple times and will eat here again just for the convenience.

    Really cool low key spot with a good mix of tourists and locals. They always have sports on the TVs and there is plenty of seating in the bar area. Onion rings are real real good and the beers are fantastic too. Double Overhead IPA FTW!

    The basics: - beer selection: amazing. So many selections unique to this place, and they're delicious - service: excellent - atmosphere: lively - food: completely delicious. Ahi tuna salad and beef sandwich were both to die for Would go back in a heartbeat!

    Food was good a little twist on your typical pub grub. Our server Gina was amazing we had 2 flights followed by one oz free samples. We pretty much tasted every beer there. We picked up two growlers one regular glass and then a hydroflask.. the hydroflask was a stretch at 50 bucks until I used it. We were on the beach for 5 hours drinking double over head (a must try imperial ipa) and it was ice cold the whole time. This place felt like home with great service, good beer and good food. We have been 5 times in the last couple weeks of our stay. Thanks Gina and Owen for making our experiences enjoyable and memorable.

    I loooove me some craft beer and I've had the fortunate chance of being able to have Maui Brewing Co.'s Coconut Porter, Hibiscus and Mana Wheat in the mainland first before actually having it in Maui. All were awesome so of course I had make a stop here. When I yelped them up and saw that one location in Maui (the pub) also had food, I immediately added it to my bookmarks! We were staying in downtown Lahaina, which is about a 15 minute drive to the Maui Pub, so we took a drive down the beautiful Maui coastline one day to get some lunch and brew there. Easy to find and right off the highway. **FOOD** -Adult Mac & Cheese - I wanted to try this out since this was so highly rated in other reviews I read. When it came out, it was smaller than I anticipated, but ended up to be quite filling! By the end I had to put in quite some effort to finish it. Nevertheless, every bite was yummy. Made with andouille sausage, mushrooms and truffle oil :). $19 for this plate, which was pretty expensive (I thought), but hey, it is Hawaii. -Friends ordered Kalua plate, chili fries and coconut porter stew and let me try some...the sauce for the Kalua pork was awesome, fries were spicy but good and the beef in the coconut porter stew was cooked just right. -Milk of Amnesia - this milky stout kind of reminded me of Noble Ale Work's "Naughty Sauce" beer. Creamy, similar to a Guinness but not as heavy. They also had featured brews; when we were there they had San Diego's own Pizza Port and Coronado featured!! Woot woot!! **SERVICE** -Quick and helpful; we had a baby in our party and they immediately got us a high chair. Seated right away and food and drink came out in a timely manner. -We also wanted to check out the tasting room, which was apparently back in downtown Lahaina (shame on you, Google Maps, for leading us to believe it was within walking distance from the pub!). No matter - I got the cute guy working in the front to help me clear up this conundrum ;)

    We have been going to MBC at least once a week since we moved here one year ago. The beer is good, as is the food, but the best part of the experience is the people. The people who work there are super friendly. However, Nicole stands above all others as she was warm and welcoming when we first dined here 15 months ago. She is friendly, engaging, knowledgeable about the menu and pairings, and she provides awesome service. Nicole is a keeper.

    Beers are good. They have some great seasonals, but the food is way overpriced and nothing to come back for. Kids had pizza that seemed straight out of a box and microwave. The wife had a curry dish that was so spicy it was almost flavorless, and I like spice. You really couldn't taste anything over the heat of it. I had a fish sandwich that was very plain. I was super bummed by the visit. Was hoping for a great spot to bring friends when they come to maui to visit. It felt like an overpriced tourist trap. The food was a huge disappointment. The server was cool, friendly, and came around plenty, and the beer was excellent. Edit-I posted in error about some taro chips. I deleted that section.

    I have been to so many breweries that were a complete disappointment, and this one was pretty good! They listed all of the beers on the menu that you could find at stores, and ones that were sold exclusively at the brewery. They had unique cocktail creations, as well, that also contained beer. They had a Porter Float, for example, which was their coconut porter beer with some vanilla bean ice cream. Sounded bomb! I ordered a glass of local Maui pineapple wine, which was good, but very sweet! Dr. Andrew ordered a few beers, and enjoyed them. However, the highlight of our meal was the food, and this is where many breweries fail! The Seared Ahi Cobb salad was unique and FANTASTIC (Spiced-seared local ahi, mixed greens, tomato, avocado, hard-boiled egg, house-pickled cucumber, furikake Surfing Goat chevre, fried wonton strips, wasabi-cilantro vinaigrette). It has a bit of an Asian twist. It contained local ingredients, and the Ahi was seared to perfection. It was also a large portion that left me completely satisfied. Really good salad! Dr. Andrew ordered the Cuban, as it was highly recommended on yelp (Kalua pork, ham, swiss cheese, pickles and pineapple creole mustard on a beer grain roll) and he really enjoyed it, too. The fries were especially good with the spicy ketchup that they offer (almost tastes like Chipotle ketchup!). The service was pretty good, although there were a few minutes of wait time in between beers. But our waitress was nice and generally attentive, and we enjoyed the atmosphere! Prices were average for Hawaii, $14.00 for a salad with some expensive protein, and $13.00 for a sandwich. Wouldn't call it expensive and def. wouldn't call it cheap, but we didn't expect anymore or any less. We would definitely return, as it was an overall pleasant experience.

    I ordered the pub plate which came with pork, barbecue sauce, white rice, and macaroni salad. Nothing was bad, but everything was just average, except for the macaroni salad which was awesome! I also ordered the root beer because the waiter said they made it homemade. Unfortunately, I didn't really care for it. I've had much better, and even canned versions surpassed this one. We had a good experience overall, but I didn't love the food.

  • Heather R.

    Had some beers and fries here - their fries are the best! I had the Bikini Blonde lager and it was good, also got to sample a few others. Good service at the bar where I sat, and if you can't decide which brew you want to try the bartenders will give recommendations and let you sample. Chill atmosphere, seems to be a fun spot to hang!

    I live right down the street from Maui Brew it's one of our favorite places to take visitors, and to order to go, regularly. Imagine my surprise when I called to make a to go order and told it wasn't possible :(. Apparently they don't DO to go orders during the holidays between 6 and 9? Hmmmm... What holiday is January 17th. It's possible she meant during peak Season. I Was told that I could however come sit at the bar and make a to go order. I was a little perturbed. So I drove on down sat at literally the ONLY open barstool and was greeted by an EXTREMELY efficient, brunette Bartender who made immediate eye contact with me and right away took my order. She was awesome. She saved my b

    This place is ok. I had their chicken curry dish, and it was ok. I liked all the fresh vegetables they put in it, but the chicken tasted like processed chicken chunks. Also, I had to send mine back because there were hairs in it. My husband and I both liked the beer. The food wasn't bad, but it wasn't great, either. The service was also so-so. I'm not sorry I went, but I wouldn't go back either.

    If you are vegetarian or are just up for something different, try their pineapple coconut tofu curry. Seriously AMAZING - one of the top 5 best things I've ever had. It's a little spicy but sooo good

  • Matt R.

    If you dig beer and are visiting Maui- you have to make a stop at MBC and visit their Brew Pub. I would steer clear of the tasting room (different location, a few miles away)- they only have the "canned" beers on tap- so none of their special brews. In other words- they have over 20 beers at the Brew Pub, and only 6 at the tasting room. Service was a bit strange- kinda short- but I guess that's the norm to expect from the locals in Maui if you're a tourist? Regardless- their bears are excellent. The Tripel and the Chipotle Blond were the best. You can get pints, samples, or growlers. Prices are very reasonable. If you're into beers at all (even a little bit)- a stop here while visiting Maui is a must.

  • Richard Z.

    I'm really surprised I didn't review this place previously, I've been coming here for 3 consecutive years now. But, as I fill-in missed reviews, this place is a must if you need a break from Mai-Tai's and Lava Flows. They have a fantastic beer selection -- the Maui Brewing company doesn't mess around. I had the Mana Wheat, which is made with Maui Gold Pineapple (I normally wouldn't go for fruity beers, but this was knee-weakingly good). I also had their Ginger Saison. Hell, I've had a LOT of differing beers in my times coming there, and the bartenders/servers are great about giving spot-on recommendations. The food is pub fare, but nothing's wrong with it. I think the fish and chips are nicely done, and I get them most years I'm there. The fish burger is also quite good.

  • Jonathan S.

    Great beer selection and brewery is awesome must see if visiting. However the food is definitely lacking. Ordered Buffalo Chicken and Island Pub Burger. Latter was nothing more than small patty and smothered with BBQ sauce and a pinnapple slice. The buffalo chicken was a mess of sweet heat, you definitely got hints of sweet coconut BBQ sauce but it's drowned out by an intense heat that makes it mandatory to dose it in bleu cheese and chug water. Forget about trying to enjoy a beer after one bite - your palette is shot! Avoid at all costs unless your spice hound. Drink the beers, go with the pizza or pork dishes - hard to get those wrong and others we dined with had good things to say. Remember, it's about the beer and good friends here - not the food.

  • Jeff S.

    Here is my - thought "Tourists matter". If you want repeat customers then don't tell them that it is too late to change a beer selection after it is poured. Really? We come to Maui twice yearly. We will not be going back here. If you really want to make your wait staff pay for customer change of mind over a $6.00 beer then you are in the wrong business. And when a customer wants to speak to a manager let them. You might learn something new.

    we come here almost every time when we visit Maui! Always love their "Mac & Cheese Balls"!! Last night, the "Imperial Coconut Porter" was tasty but we didn't enjoy the "Dry Irish Stout" @ all! :( I had the "Pineapple Curry Tofu", it was yummy & had a kick to it, but I wished I added chicken too coz the tofu were in small pieces & weren't very much!

    I learned about the Maui Brewing Company Pub a few years ago from a lady inside a grocery store on Maui while picking up some cans of the good stuff. When I learned it was WALKING distance from where we were staying, I became that much more excited. The pub is located inside a shopping center with McDonalds and a coffee shop that is like, never open. The exterior is deceiving because when you walk inside, it's rather large. There's quite a few 4-seaters, community tables and plenty of seats around the bar which are surrounded by tv's. There's always sports playing on the tv's here. You'll find the various beers (including the types that are available in the stores) and MORE, on chalkboards against the walls. Besides the coconut porter, I'm partial to the others that are available. The food is pretty good; definitely better than your average bar fare. The service is fantastic. Everyone is super friendly and on top of it.

    We enjoy craft beer and made a point to visit this place on vacation. We were a group of eight and we're told we all couldn't get flights (for those unfamiliar with brew pubs, these are small pours, but they aren't free) because the bartenders don't want to pour that much. Umm, perhaps you are in the wrong job? This is absurd for a brewery that has at least two dozen beers on tap that can't be found elsewhere. Why even bother if you aren't willing to serve them?? Waitress pushed the issue for us and got us an extra one and overall was great to our table. Food was average. Need to warn that the wings and buffalo sandwich are extraordinarily hot.

    I really wanted to like this place but unfortunatley its horrible! i also dont like writting bad reviews but it needs to be done sometimes. while looking for places to eat while on vacation with my bf i ran across this place in hopes that he'd like it.

    Stars are more for the beer than the food. Food was good and generally not overpriced but not a very wide selection. I had the burger which was tasty but w/ the add-ons for bacon and cheese (!) came out over $16. My son had the pork sliders which he really enjoyed and my daughter ordered the kids burger and that looked like a decent one (not what you would expect from kids menu). My wife had the seared ahi sandwich which was ok but not memorable.

    Definitely gotta make a stop here while you're in the area. Food was good, service was ok. Kinda difficult to get a seat at the bar. I would suggest choosing a flight of beers. Nice to get a taste of variety and their variety is pretty delicious. I think we ordered the pork nachos and we cleared the plate.

  • Richard B.

    If you like beer, this is the place to go. They have a large selection of local brewed beers but there is also a full bar if beer is not your thing. The food is what I would expect from what is essential a beer bar with a casual atmosphere. You can get a great burger or a delicious pizza or even a tasty salad while sports play on the televisions hung throughout the restaurant. I have been here on my last several visits and will continue to go on my future visits.

    So, I've eaten there 6 times. 2 of the 6 times, multiple people got sick. if you get lucky they might have some special beers on tap, other than that skip the commercial stuff. I had two cans of coconut porter in my fridge for months and couldn't get anyone to drink it. The staff is mediocre. Get out explore some real local spots, skip this at all costs.

    I am sure this is a green place but my experience was just okay. They have a neat selection of beers. The food menu is your typical bar food, burgers, sandwiches, and pizza. I just fined for the happy hour which is from 3-6pm. They had $1.50 pepperoni or cheese pizza slices. If you wear your Maui Brewing co. T shirt on Wednesdays you get $1 off beers.

  • Mary F.

    The food was ok at best. Zucchini spirals are bland, the Cuban dry and the fish taco overwhelmed by too much spicy sauce. Total for the above plus one beer and one iced tea $37.51. Customer service was very slow. Definitely would not come back. There are so many delicious restaurants in Maui, do yourself a favor and skip this one. There's a McDonald's next door that would be a better experience.

    My wife and I are on vacation from Chicago and decided to have dinner here. We decided on the beer battered Brie which I wouldn't recommend, more beer batter then Brie. We ordered a pizza with Ham, goat cheese and Pineapple. Now Chicago is know for the best pizza around, and I'm not going to say this is better then Chicago but it is VERY good pizza. I would recommend this place for some good pizza and a fun and relaxing atmosphere.

    I'm not a beer drinker, but my husband is. He liked a lot of their beers. I drank the pear cider that was good. Their food was very good too. Happy hour (3-6) could have included more items, but what can you expect in a tourist area?

    Maui Brewing Company was the 1st choice when strolling through the Yelp map on plausible places to go have dinner out on a Friday night. Thanks Yelp! Always helpful when you are around for those life pressing decisions! With that said, the Maui Brewing Company is pretty much a loud pub and restaurant that caters to local Maui brews. There's even a colorful chalk menu board near the kitchen that gives you all that they have. We were fortunate to be sitting at the table where I got a direct shot at it. The ambiance was that of a loud tavern that's sure to please just about anyone who enters. Since it was Friday night, we waited for a good 15-20 minutes before seating. I was with my NY friend and a long time Seattle friend who's a crazy marathoner like me with her husband in tow. Perfect night out! The Maui Brewing Company is located at the Kahana Gateway shopping complex, which the entrance is located on Lower Hoanapiili Hwy. It was the perfect in and out for me, since I kinda am direction challenged when it comes to driving at times. There is plenty of parking spaces in the shopping center itself, so there's no reason not to come here and shop / dine here to your heart's content. We got here at 6:45p, but wasn't seated till 7:15pm, which was fine. I had the Aloha Baktun, which was a Belgian staut beer and Hawaiian chocolate mixed in - of all things. I thought that was a neat way to start the night. After that, I ordered the cheese fries and a Kailua pork slider. Thought that the prices here were competitive, especially for Maui standards. The slider itself was decent and the pork really hit the spot. The cheese fries came out hot and good. What better way of doing cheese fries without the extra fillers! It was delicious and hot at the same time. The cheese was excellent and just amazing. The total bill came to $16 without gratuity, which was decent. One of the shockers of the night was when my NY friend had ordered a manhattan and learned that it costed $16. She was floored when she saw her tab. It was certainly priceless! Certainly that the server should've cautioned my friend about it, but she didn't. Wow. Even I was shocked that one manhattan costed that much! Live and learn I guess! For now, I think that the Maui Brewing company is a keeper. My Seattle friend and her husband shared a decadent chocolate sundae dessert, which was cool. Her husband had a few beers and that was cool. And of course, they accept credit cards, so always a plus in my book while traveling. :) win win! Overall, this place is phenomenal for all the local Maui brews you can handle. While I only had 1, since I was driving, I need to come back here and just have a ball with the various beer selections here at the Maui Brewing Company. Wished I lived in Maui though. Oh well. Definitely recommended for lunch, dinner, or drinking at the bar, or a combination thereof. There's something pretty cool going on around here, if you don't mind the pub atmosphere ambiance. Still, I got good feedback on this place from my dinner companions and hope to be back soon. Support local! B+

    Okay, I admit it...I'm a beer snob. The mass-produced stuff is okay for fishing...after mowing the lawn...but if I'm going out or on vacay I want a micro. I seek out the good breweries / brew pubs wherever we go, so of course when we got here Maui Brewing was a 'must'! As has already been said, the food is above average, but not over-the-top. We ordered the Cuban sandwich and wife had pulled pork sandwich , both were good. But the beer...I'm an IPA fan, and their Big Swell is as good as any I've had. The Coconut Porter is awesome....even if you're not a fan of heavy beers you'll like it, smooth as butter. For my fellow hop-heads, try their hoppy lager...absolutely amazing. Whether you're going for meal & beer or just beer, you'll be back.

    I really enjoyed my past 2 experiences at Maui Brew Co. First off, they have awesome merchandise! They offer great shirts for guys and gals, and great accessories which make great gifts for beer lovers in your family! Next, I love how they are actually working the vats WHILE YOU ARE EATING! there are people actually inside and you can watch them through the glass, working on beer! So cool! The food is really yummy! I recommend the adult mac and cheese~! Hands down delicious! I also love the wedge salad, really delicious and the honey mustard dressing was fantastic! Service was friendly and they have wine and a few cocktails if you are not feeling like a beer. They also have outlets for computer and phone charging. Saw a guy working on his laptop, and my group used the outlets to charge our phones while we ate. Great place!

    My family of 9 went to MBC for lunch and beer. We all ordered food and those of us that could ordered beer. In addition the to food my parents ordered, they asked to split a 7 dollar salad. When they meals were being delivered the waitress showed up with 2 small salads and asked who they were for. My parents said, "Oh we had one to split" and the waitress gave them the two salads, which made sense since they were small. One of my other family members mentioned that they were waiting on a salad and a few other items we were still missing and the waitress went to go check on the status. She came back with another salad and or other missing items. We were then told that my parents actually ate two separate salads and they were going to charge us for two, not one, even though they had informed the waitress, both when ordering and when delivering the salad that they were splitting. Not to mention the size of these tiny romaine salads were not even close to being worth 7 dollars. I'm from San Francisco, I get expensive food, but this was bad. We spoke up about the double charge because it did not seem fair and the waitress told us "she did not think she could sell this one to her manager". She did not even try. She informed us that we were being charged twice in a rude way and completely dismissed us after. Since it clearly bothered me I really should have said something and spoken to a manager then and instead I vent on a yelp review, but I felt crappy after taking my family there and spending a ton. We also ordered a baked brie and it was a good portion of cheese for the price, I was really happy about that but only received three? Four? really small pieces of bread, like maybe the size of two nickels next to each other. I asked for a few more and the waitress brought some more out. I looked on the bill and we were charged extra for that bread. No warning and what a terrible feeling after being charged twice for a salad that was not worth the price and then being charged extra for BREAD that was supposed to come with an dish. Ignoring those issues, the beer was okay. The beer that is good they distribute and the additional ones at the brewery were not really anything to make a special trip for. The food was fine, I'm sure I would have been more positive if the service was better. Overall, the place is overpriced, with bad service, average food and beer, and they will charge extra for everything. I'm sure this is because tourists go here and they don't need to worry about repeat business but just take this into account before going.

Onion rings!! holy molly i don't think i have ever seen onion rigs so big, and delicious definitely a must try. the fish and chips were really good too! overall between the food and the beer and the amazing service it was a great experience!

    Yum! We bellied up to the bar and had great service, great beer, and great food. I had the Adult Mac and Cheese which was delicious! My spouse had the Jambalaya which was equally good. The best part was that the portion sizes were so huge that we had enough to take home for lunch the next day. We'll definitely be back during our visit to Maui.

    Visited with a small group as this was a personal "must try". I've enjoyed their brews on prior visits (never at the restaurant) so thought we'd grab dinner here. Positives- Good beer selection, some solid food options and very good service. We enjoyed all of our beer choices (black pepper porter is a dicey one but I'm sure someone's Mother loves it). I had the Black Rock Dip (fantastic). Negatives- Beer is served a bit warm (served iced cold people will enjoy more/drink more/spend more). Two in the group got the Fish and Chips (greasy). Crank up the heat of the oil and you're solid. So it came down to temperature...colder beer and hotter oil and it's a 5!

    Food was great! Service was poor. We got our appetizers after our meals after we reminded our server it was missing. We did not get any discount. Our 5 year olds meal was last to be brought out by at least 5 minutes. Bummed because the food (I had a burger and husband had a French dip) was very good as was the beer!!!!

    Disappointing. I made a reservation over a week in advance for a larger group of 20 for a wedding and my reservation was given away. Another group walked in and said they were on Maui for a wedding and was given my table/reserved area. Did anyone at the host stand think to check the name on the reservation? No. As a result, my family and friends had to wait nearly an hour to be seated, and we weren't able to be seated together. The server (Sean?) did his best to accomodate us. When I asked to speak with a manager, the server just asked what the issue was and tried to resolve it himself. When the final bill came, there was no discount, manager apology, NOTHING. We had to ask the server if there was anything he could do. He came back and said the mysterious manager was able to buy us a round of drinks. Gee, thanks. I won't be back. Extremely frustrating situation.

    We came here just for the beer (well, and it was raining). Beer with pineapple in it? Interesting, but not amazing. Actually, "interesting, but not amazing" is how I would rate all the beers we tasted. We each got a flight (only $6 woo hoo!), so we tried eight different beers total. Overall, good to try at least once, but I wouldn't go out of my way.

  • Krista M.

    This place is pretty good. We were seated right away even though a World Series game was on. The beers are great and the food is good. We had the ahi Cobb, which had furikake goat cheese on it that was to die for. We also got beer battered baked brie and beer battered onion rings; both were great. Our waitress was really nice and attentive.

  • Kevin G.

    Beers were good. I had a sampler and liked the Rye IPA and the Brown. Kids liked the root beer. The food was just ok and for the price, not that good. Lots of TVs which with sports which is good. I would recommend this place to go drink some beers and have a few appetizers. But for dinner, and the money, there are better places to eat.

    I've always been a big fan of this local brewery, especially the Coconut Porter. Now that they have moved to their new location, they have a family-friendly restaurant with a great selection of food. Our little keiki had the cheeseburger and she loved the magnetic doodle board they had for her to play with. The rest of us shared the Wild Hog pizza with an order of beer-battered onion rings (yes, those would be Maui onions my friends...). The pulled kalua pork, fresh pineapple and quality cheese on a thin crust did not disappoint! The onion rings...oh, the onion rings...the puffed-up beer batter was like a pillow cushioning the onions. Had we not been planning a trip to Lappert's for ice cream, I so would have had the Coconut Porter float for dessert! I was telling the server that the only thing better than their float would be to combine the Kauai Pie ice cream from Lappert's with their Coconut Porter...just sayin'...

  • Tiana H.

    Great food and great local beer! We had a plethora of food. Some of my favorite dishes is the hummus n Veggies and adult Mac & Cheese we also had jambalaya, wings and a huge order of nachos! Will was our server he was so attentive and on it. Can't say enough about this restaurant definitely a must when visiting Maui.

  • Brian S.

    As a Long time Maui beer fan this our first dinner stop on the island. We sat at the bar were they have a very cool ice shelf that keeps your glass cold. I had the classic big swell IPA and my wife had an imperial coconut porter, which she compared as better than the normal porter which she loves. I had the Cuban which was good, she had the Black rock dip which was fantastic. Good atmosphere, but different from Kona which is on the water. All in all a must visit for beer fans while in Maui.

  • Vanni T.

    Brews are like their food: meh. Had the nachos and the black beans were flavorless, and the chicken was dry (and flavorless). Beers were flat and uninspired. What is it that they say? Dabbler of many, master of none? Yeah...

  • Tess V.

    Great beer and atmosphere the food is hit or miss. I have had their sliders and nachos and enjoyed them but my brother ordered the bratwurst when we were there recently and it was less than desirable. Small sausage with no stone ground mustard as promised. The kalua pork is great though and their barefoot wheat beer was just my style. The ice bar is also a nice touch!

  • Chris G.

    Relative to Hawaii, this is a solid brew pub. I travel a lot and this is NOT something you would find in Seattle or Portland - where brew pub standards were established for me - but it's a good chill location for Hawaii, you will not regret the stop if you like beer. Loads of selections, with OK prices. They make a tasty IPA, and as every suggests, when in Rome, errrrr Hawaii, you need to try the coconut porter - best when ice cold. My wife really liked her bikini blonde which was crisp and refreshing. Wish I could give you more details on the food, but I came here to drink. Cheers.

  • Pebbles And Bam Bam A.

    Yes, we came here for the beer. And to get drunk. Just kidding. The food was surprisingly delicious, including pineapple coconut curry (thank you very much), and a pork plate that had the sig-o doing a "When Harry Met Sally." Enjoyed trying the beers not available in stores, including the Hot Blonde and lemongrass saison. We recommend it (oh, and it's affordable, compared to most restaurants in the area). Update: Ugh oh. Came back for lunch and had a different experience. The food was again very good (chicken/bacon sandwich and veggie burger). However, the service was terrible!! We sat with empty drinks for quite a while and had to flag down the server to order more. No "how is your food?" or other inquiries. Lame duck. The hostess, too, was very unfriendly. We were interested in buying shirts but decided we wanted no more interaction time with her than absolutely necessary and quickly scurried out. The place was less busy than when we visited for dinner, so workload couldn't explain it. Thanks for some good meals, but we won't be back. Buy the beer in stores.

  • S C.

    I went here with a group of 10 friends this weekend, and wasn't overly impressed. A few of the beers were really good. I suggest trying the Bikini Blonde, Mana Wheat & Barefoot Brew. I really enjoyed the Barefoot. The customer service seems to be lacking a bit. We were all stuffed in to a little cubby of the pub & didn't get a lot of attention from the waitress. I had to go walk to the bar to order my drinks a couple of times. Most of the people at our table grew impatient with how long it took to get a waitress to come check in on us for orders. I ordered the Ruben sandwich, it was good but not great. It was somewhat on the smaller side.

  • Andrew S.

    Ugggg. So full. Awesome food and awesome service. I've never experienced a more juicy chicken sandwich. Just half of it was a meal but it was so damn good I had to finish it all. We will be back. Nicole our server was so friendly and accommodating to all of our requests.

  • P F.

    Amazing service and great selection for a pub. They had a whiskey clam chowder that was to die for. It tasted more like a gumbo, with distinct taste of bacon and clams. Highly recommended! Wings were OK and beer samplers allowed us to choose what we liked. I personally, liked the Bikini Blond and Red Cock Doppelganger. The Humus Plate and Fried Brie were great and also recommended.

  • Murray B.

    I have some basic expectations when visiting a brew pub. They revolve primarily around having good choices available. 1)beer choices They had close to 20 beers on tap. You read that right. 20!!! They had some of the expected choices (ex: IPA, brown ale), some more unusual choices (ex: beer infused with lemongrass, a coconut porter) and even some guest beers (ex: Anderson Valley, Anchor). With so much selection, almost everybody in a group should find something to their liking. 2)food choices During our first lunch visit, I had the buffalo chicken sandwich w/ fries and it was damn good. Chicken, bacon, wing sauce, bleu cheese, caramelized onions and a bit of chipotle somehow mixed in as well. I'm starting to salivate just thinking about it. Almost to make up for my previous sinful dining, I went with a healthier item during our next visit and chose the ahi salad. A good portion of ahi, fresh produce and a tasty dressing made this a winner. Do I expect every item on the menu to be fantastic? Uh no. One of my friends ordered the wedge salad and wasn't a fan. Check out their menu here for further intel on sandwiches, salads, soups, pizza, etc. mauibrewingco.com/mbc/MB… 3)a variety of places to sit You are coming with a big group? Sit at one of their picnic tables. You are coming with only a couple of other people? Sit at one of their small tables against the wall. It's just you and all that is required is a cold one after a tough day? Sit at their bar. While some reviewers didn't like the decor, I thought it was fine. I'm not expecting something flashy like a club or upscale bar. Just give me a clean,comfortable place to sit to enjoy good food and beer with friends and I'm a happy man. The staff checked on us on a regular basis and was friendly. I would definitely go back again.

  • Jordan S.

    A nice pub in lahina with a good local beer selection. We only ordered bar food (onion rings and fried mac and cheese), but it wasn't very good so I am happy we didn't order more. The onion rings were greasy and not crunchy and the fried mac and cheese had an odd texture. Their house mustard and ketchup are both good. The beer is really good. We ordered a couple of sampler flights (total of 8 beers). While I didn't like all of them, they were are full of flavor and matched the descriptions. The coconut porter was AMAZING. I am still impressed with how much fruit flavor they get into the beer. Trying watermelon in a beer was interesting (and not at all bad) and the pineapple beer was good as well. The place felt cold and not very pub like, but we were there at closing (10pm) so it may have just been slow. Service to get seated took a while, which was odd as the place wasn't even close to full, but once seated all was well. I would visit again...but after dinner and just for drinks.

    The beer:Quite the impressive beer list. The coconut porter is uniquely delicious. The lemon grass beer was innovative and refreshing...perfect for a hot tropical day. Bottom line: there are a variety of beers to satisfy a variety of palates. The food: not bad for pub food. The pizza and sliders are sufficiently delicious. I'm a fan. The service: excellent! Will be happy to return on our next trip to the island.

    Like most breweries Maui Brewing offers their best beer in limited batches only at the brewery. We had the "Milk of Amnesia", a milk stout aged in cognac barrels, and the Imperial Coconut Porter. Both were excellent and on par with the better west coast breweries. The side benefit, of course, is that you're on Maui! Great service and good food as well. Also, plenty of screens for sports viewing. As they say in Hawaii, it's "Ono".

    This place was just OK. I ordered a ahi sandwich. The ahi was lightly seasoned and moist. If you like cheese then you have to the beer battered brie cheese appetizer. Amazing!!! That was the only thing I really liked. For the amount of money I spent I would have just went to smaller restaurant and saved the money on this overly priced place.

    Stopped in here during an especially rainy evening to grab some take-out to chill at home with: the panko-crusted buffalo chicken sandwich and veggie burger. Took a little longer than expected for carry out (20-25 mins) but they were very nice and the food was very good. Also, turns out that just about any item that includes "panko-crusted" in the description is going to be pretty damn good!

  • Thomas G.

    I went to MBC because I liked their beer and wanted to check out the pub for a late dinner. The food was ok. My wife and I shared the Kailua pork nachos which I liked and she did not. I think pork on nachos was off putting to her. We also had the wings which were waaaaaayyyyyy too spicy. We asked for medium, but these were like napalm in the mouth. I just don't find a burnt mouth to be appetizing! The beer was very good and I have no complaints about it. I would recommend MBC just to sample a few varieties of the beer. I would not stampede here for the food. I did not like the atmosphere of MBC at all. It was this large open cold space and the tables seemed too big for the chairs and the proportions were just off. They have a few picnic tables littered around to give the "bier garten" vibe, but it seemed odd to me. It was a weird attempt to combine a pub with a beer hall , but overall it just did not work. It also was very loud. The wait staff was fairly disinterested and not overly helpful. Did I buy a pint glass? Yes! Will I return when I go back to Maui? The jury is out!

  • Heather M.

    Decent pub fare within walking distance of where we stayed. We had the nachos, wings, and onion rings, along with a Coconut porter and the Tapengo (?) hefe. The nachos were huge, and the toppings were fresh and plentiful. It looked like it had sat a little too long under the salamander, because some of the chips were scorched, but the plate was so big that it didn't matter. The wings were a Yelp favorite, and they did not disappoint. Sweet yet zesty sauce, plenty of wings, and housemade ranch dressing (along with the requisite veggies). The onion rings were in a tempura style batter that was a bit too thick for our tastes, and it was served with a weird chipotle/thousand island-ish aioli. Its redeeming quality (and what suckered us in) is that MBC donates a portion of the proceeds of this item to the Humane Society. (No idea why, but we liked that.) The beers were good. Didn't like the Coconut porter quite as much as Kona Brew Co's, but it was definitely drinkable. Next time we'll do some tasters because there was so much on the board-- wish we'd thought to do tasters this time. We had a nice server who was quick and friendly. The bartenders were fine but a little more brusque. The host dude was totally lost, though-- he quoted us a 30-minute wait when there was no one else in the waiting area. We went in to sit at the mostly full bar, and it was a short wait for a table. Not long after we sat down, another 4-5 tables opened up. The inside of this place is pretty approachable, too-- lots of metal/wood details, community tables, etc. We noticed that they used kegs and pony kegs as some of the light fixtures-- very cool! We liked this place, and it's refreshingly affordable. We'll be back. :)

    Pretty busy here... Kids more than adults... lol! Got ignored at the bar & waited so long for a waiter... maybe because we are Asian? If it's not because my guy crazy for beers, we won't come here... The chicken wings are really good, but spicy! Some of the beers are good, some we don't care for... So personally... But the busy service need to improve...

  • Tracy B.

    My husband is a lover of beer. Me? Not so much, but even I enjoyed the beer at MBC! The hubby has been a fan of the coconut porter which he stockpiles from our local HEB so you can imagine the sheer delight that spread across his face when I told him the MBC was only a two minute jaunt in the Jeep from our condo in West Maui. He almost wept with joy, bless his heart. So guess where we were an hour after checking in? You guessed it. Bellied up to the bar at MBC. They have a nice strip of ice along the bar to place your glass and keep it cold. Let's discuss the beer: I enjoyed the Belgian style La Perouse Wit beer and it's nice lemony tones. Hubby threw back several Coconut Porters to take the edge off after the grueling flight on awful United Airlines (see THAT review and never fly with them). The porter is rich and chocolatey and has a nice roasty after taste. I think it would make a terrific marinade for pork shoulder slow cooked in my Big Green Egg and topped with a Polynesian plum sauce and grilled pineapple salsa . Anyway... The Mana Wheat was a big hit with the hubby and according to him is light and refreshing and he loved the pineapple undertones. His other faves were the IPA, Macnut and Freight Train. On to the food. Maui obviously due to it's location as the navel of the earth is expensive, but the MBC isn't too rough on the wallet. Some of our favorites were the pulled pork sliders with coconut porter BBQ sauce and the Hawaiian beef slider served with grilled pineapple. Simple, easy fare to go along with the island spirit. The sliders are actually much bigger than your average slider, so one sufficed for us. The fish n chips are SURPRISE, beer battered ono (wahoo) and served with thick battered Maui onion rings. A guilty pleasure for sure. On another visit (I'm telling you, the hubs loved this place), I had a fabulous fish burger, but thought the bun was a little dense, so just ate the patty with the Asian slaw and a side salad with cilantro dressing. I like the cilantro dressing better than the heavy dijon dressing. All their veggies were locally grown and super fresh. They do make their own ketchup and I'm sad to say it's not that great. It needs more sugar and vinegar. Lastly, I know one wouldn't normally want soup on a sunny island, but on an unusually chilly and overcast day, I tried it and thought it was very good. Nice caramelized Maui onions and a thick layer of melted cheese. MBC is a great place for a casual stop off in between surfing and snorkeling on the gorgeous island of Maui, where I WILL be retiring some day BTW.

    I cannot say enough good things about Maui Brewing Company. I've eaten and drank here several times and I've never been disappointed. The beers are great and they offer the opportunity to sample their own brews. Any four at a time. They don't do sample of guest beers and that might be an issue for some people but not for me. This last visit I sampled the hot blonde (made with chili pepper), the barefoot brew, and the lahainatown lager. All excellent! The food is good and typically made with their beers. Don't go there expecting fine dining and white table cloths. It's a pub, first and foremost. It's loud. It can be rowdy when there's a game or two on. But the servers are pretty nice and usually can give some good food and drink recommendations to folks who are there for the first time.

  • Zack G.

    Disappointed in this place for a few reasons. Contemplated giving two stars but just couldn't get there. My main concern was the food. We ordered nachos with chicken and quad. Paid $4.5 extra for it. The chicken was microwaved and tasted worse than the brutal chicken at subway. I realize this isn't a legit restaurant but still unacceptable. We had a pile of this awful chicken on a side plate at the end of it and the server didn't say anything. I should have said something but was ready to leave and not concerned about the money, just wanted them to know how poor it was. Also ordered a beer sampler. It was fine. Asked for server recommendations and omdidnt like 3 of the 4. My fault I guess. Prices were ok, atmosphere was better than most "nightlife" spots we have seen but this place also closes at ten so that's not saying much.

    I made my wife a deal - I could go to MBC to sample some beers if I would bring home some dinner. I was happy sampling their coconut porter, Hawaii 90 scotch ale, Belgian ale, cherry chocolate stout, and my favorite, the Lahaina Town Brown seasonal. For take out, we got the ahi salad, Cuban sandwich, and chili cheese fries. I had enjoyed the beer so much that I didn't even need for the food to be that special, but it was really really good. The ahi on the salad was super fresh and perfectly seared, the chili on the fries was great, and the sandwich was good too. The best part about all this is that the day after my visit, my WIFE was the one asking ME if we could go back. "Ohhhhh, I *guess* so, if that would make YOU happy" ;-) #score

  • Sheryl H.

    My boyfriend and I visited Maui for 12 days and stayed within walking distance of this place. We loved it! We are a big fan of MBC's beers, and were excited to try some new ones on tap. Their taps rotate regularly, and they have some great beers. Happy hour is also good, for $4 pints and $1.50 slices of pizza. The food is great too! I had the pub plate and brie multiple times and couldn't get enough. We will definitely be visiting this place again if we are in Maui. I would have given it 5 stars if not for the waitress we had our first night when we sat at a table (every other time we sat at the bar). She was slow, and not too friendly. She also kept forgetting things and bringing the wrong beers (we got more than one flight). Fortunately, the manager made up for it by giving us coupons for a couple of free pints.

    They had some good beer. The Coconut Porter was yummy and if you like spicy food you should try the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich, it was a bit too hot for my liking but I couldn't put it down because it tasted so good and I had plenty of good beer to help cool the mouth off so it wasn't all bad!

    Below average food. The only thing was the service. Burger was dry. Wanted some BBQ sauce for flavor but couldn't get hold of waiter until I was almost done with burger.

    It was our first day in Maui and wanted to grab some dinner and drinks. The server was not the friendliest. We asked for a table for 5 and she made it seem like it was an inconvenience that there were 5 of us. "It's hard to seat 5, we can pull up a chair from another table". So one of us was sitting on a corner. The worst part- We all had what we think was food poisoning. 3/4 people ordered the fish and chips and 3/4 were sick for 2 days. Not a great way to start of our vacation!

    So good we had to go twice during our stay in Maui. The beer selection is great. We liked the Bikini blonde ale the best. Bartenders were great and they were very helpful in directing us to places to visit on the island. The food was amazing and reasonably priced. The pub plate with the Kahlua pork and macaroni salad had me coming back for more. I wish we had this place back in California!

  • Nicole E.

    There was a distinctive hoppy smell upon entering Maui Brewing Company, and I knew I had found a winner. I settled on the bikini blonde, a lager that I was confident that I would love -- it was delicious, and now I know I must try the other less 'safe' options (they have many, including one brewed with local honey) before leaving Maui. I had the seared ahi sandwich. It was nicely seasoned, ever-so lightly crisped on the outside, and melt in your mouth NOM on the inside. The sauce on the sandwich was supposed to be some kind of lemon cream tartar kind of sauce, but it fell short for me. A little bland. What was NOT bland were the housemade spicy ketchup and mustard I had with my side of fries. My man had the cuban and loved it as well. Yeah, the decor was lacking for sure. The tables were kind of awkwardly spread out. But come on. The beer was good!

    We stopped here twice. Once for beer and t-shirts. Later for dinner. The beer is very good. I love the coconut porter. Everyone seemed to like the food. I had the wedge salad and a couple of sliders. Shredded pork slider, must have. Hawaiian slider, pass on that. The wedge salad very good. I gotta go back for another sampler flight and try the pork nachos, they looked awesome. Wifey had the Cuban sandwich and could not finish it, said it was delicious. will do the honors soon if she doesn't beat me to it (finish it that is). No food left behind. I think if you like beer and food and have some patience, you'll like the MBC. Give it a shot. Prices are reasonable compared to my experiences here on the island. Yum yum, Kirk

    Definitely a bar atmosphere at night. Kids chicken strips were disappointing. Basic pub fare. Good beers. Would be a great place to grab drinks and an appetizer. Maybe better for families at lunch time.

    Service was not great, felt like we were being rushed out. I got the Cuban sandwich, and it was delicious, as were the fries. However, my husband's burger was almost burned on the outside though the inside was ok. The coconut porter was great though. I wouldn't go too far out of my way to come back here, unfortunately.

    I'm not a beer fan, not in the slightest bit. However since we were in Maui and my husband wanted to check this place out, I figured to give the beer a shot. Best beer ever, and I don't even like beer! My favorite was the dark coconut porter! It tasted like coffee with coconut! It was amazing. Cant speak for the food, I was too mesmerized by the delicious beer! If looking for a good bar with a great selection of locally unique beers on Maui, come here!

    Let's be honest, this place is more about the beer than the food. You MUST try the Imperial Coconut Porter. Heaven in my mouth. However, at 9.4% abv you'll get tossed pretty quick, which isn't necessarily a bad thing if you're looking to save some money. We ordered 2 plates of fish&chips, a margarita pizza, and the ahi cob salad. The pizza and fish and chips were amazing. Small portions for the price, but that is to be expected in a tourist location. The ahi salad was interesting, but I wouldn't order it again. Something about the flavors was off - but the fish was fresh. I think it was just an odd pairing of ingredients. Not bad, but not great. 4 meals and 3 beers cost us $118.00.

    Cool casual bar. The waitstaff was attentive and friendly and not Hawaiian. Their bar features a cool ice trip that goes all the way around for you to rest your drink on. You can order a flight of 4 samples and they have locally brewed beer. Do not get the lemongrass beer. The bikini blonde was good.

  • Eric R.

    I went in for a Coconut Porter and Ben with the waitstaff exceeded expectations along with the Porter Beer. Love the atmosphere in the brew pub! Several specialty ales available, great selection of appetizers and meals. Thanks Ben from Portland for going above and beyond!

    The food was good and the service was friendly. However, the menu doesn't have a lot of food choices. This is definitely a place to come for the drinks rather than the food.

    We visited MBC's brew pub twice while visiting Maui. The first visit was for dinner, and the second visit was to drink our free pint from the brewery tour and munch on some appetizers. We enjoyed the veggie pesto pizza, green salad, mac balls, and hummus trio. The pesto pizza was great and we had plenty left over for another meal! The rest of the items were passable bar food. But of course, we also had a fun time sampling beers (you get to build your own sampler!!) - Mana Wheat and Lahainatown Brown were definitely the winners. Mana Wheat manages to taste like pineapple without being sickly sweet - score! It gets really busy in the place, but sitting at the bar is fun too if you can't get a table - there's a frosty strip on the bar to keep your beer cold. Super neat. Visit MBC!

    What an awesome place! My husband fell in love with the imperial coconut porter and the nachos are bomb. Our server Ben was awesome... highly recommend this place. Be prepared to wait to sit down though... It's really busy.

    Awesome food, great beer, wonderful service. What more could you ask for? Oh yeah, you're in Hawaii, so there's that. The Buffalo Chicken sandwich was spectacular. Try the Coconut Porter.

  • John W.

    Went for dinner and ended up just ordering appetizers with beer samplers. The nachos with pork was very good and dynamite tots were mind bending good. Just those fed two adults and two teenagers who came in starving. Beers were excellent. Coconut porter was top pick. Coconut was subtle and wasn't overdone. Will definitely go back to try the entrees.

  • Arnaud A.

    Black rock lager: amazing dark but light beer, hence the lager. I really enjoyed this beer as first course. A little more character than a blonde, nice roast flavors. Booked orange wheat beer 9.0: can't remember the Hawaiian name... must have been a strong beer. Much hoppier but very tasty. A good entree beer as my girlfriend and I enjoyed the pork nachos. Barefoot honey beer for dessert: perfect way to end this meal. Lighter honey flavored. Sweeter beer. Overall good experience. Gigi the bartender seemed a little slammed but service was acceptable. Foods was good and beer, the reason we came was excellent. Wishing Maui brewing company opened a storefront on Oahu!

    Went to Maui last November for a wedding. I came on Yelp to research places that my family, friends, & I have to try. I definitely bookmarked this place. 3 others and I came here after dinner one night, just to try it and say that we went. I kinda forgot everything that we ordered. But we just got 1 beer, because we were soo tired from our long day. But I know I definitely tried the Coconut Porter because everyone told us that's a must. I got the Bikini Blonde, because I'm a girly girl and I actually liked it. & My friend got the Mana Wheat. We got one more but I'm spacing on the name. I really liked this place. Our server was nice. Great location. & lots of parking. If I ever find myself in Maui again, I'll definitely make my way here.

  • Tom B.

    Food was good for bar type food, better than most. The beer tasting was the highlight. A great Double IPA and the Zythos IPA was very tasty. Also enjoyed the Dry Irish Stout. The beer that is available only at the brewery was the highlight. Will definitely be back next trip out.

  • Dennis H.

    Love this place since it was the closest non expensive venue to dine at when I was staying in Kapalua. They have their own brews (love the bikini blonde). Their food is pretty good as well - especially the pork sliders and the nachos!! Seriously their pork is AMAZING!! Also they make their own mustard sauce. I went here 3 times during my 5 night stay :)

  • Marisa B.

    This is a great place for a good meal when on Maui. We love the beer battered brie and everything else I've had there was really good. As with many places on Maui and throughout the islands, service is a bit slow, but very friendly and accommodating. Oh, and the beers are good, but the root beer is excellent!

    (4)

  • Maggie D.

    This was one of my favorite spots in Maui along with my husband's They had their own beer that they brew there and the food was so delicious! Also, the staff is very friendly and works very hard to get you what you need. The great thing about this restaurant is that it doubles as a party place and a laidback, nice place to eat and hang out.

  • Cullen H.

    During a recent vacation to Maui, MBC was a welcome reprieve from some of the more touristy establishments around that portion of the island. The beer was great and came in an enormous variety of styles (almost too many!), while the food was above average and not terribly overpriced. We tried a couple pizzas during separate visits, my favorite being the veggie and pesto, and we really enjoyed the Ahi Cobb salad as well. The bar area was nice, albeit dimly lit, and sported a really cool (pun intended) "chilling" ledge intended to keep your beer cold. I'm not sure it worked very well, but it was fun and novel nonetheless. There was a nice mix of out-of-towners and locals each time we came, so we were able to chat with all types of people. Really nice place.

  • Kawika J.

    If your not Caucasian, your not welcome. They love the culture and lifestyle, but not the people. Come enjoy the same bar food that exist around America. And the beer is luke warm and mediocre at best. Bikini Blond is your best bet.

  • Bill S.

    Great food, even better beer. If you are looking for reasonably priced pub food in Maui, this is your place! Happy hour is even better with $4 brews and pizza by the slice. Nachos with pulled pork are a meal for two. The sliders were perfect for my kids. We will definitely be back next time we are in Maui!

    (5)

  • Joseph H.

    We came here around 8:15pm for dinner & beer. We walked in and had a seat right a way. The inside is very large and inviting. I personally had the pulled pork dish and a couple of the lagers. The beer is pretty good! However our waiter was not. The place wasn't all that busy. They section their floor kinda strange as well. He couldn't keep up with the 5 tables he had, and was very slow when it came to making sure we were ready to order, getting us drink, making eye contact. Maybe with a few additional training tips he could have been better. He kinda had a "please eat and leave" attitude, which all of us could feel. I do recommend visiting this place, but just beware of the long intervals. Other than that, it was a nice place.

  • Cherise D.

    My husband and I ate here for the first time (not sure how I missed it the past times I've been to Lahaina!) and it was phenomenal. We're from NJ - a very Italian food friendly state - and we ordered pizza and pasta. The tortellini was out of this world! If you don't like goat cheese, it's not for you... but if you do, you'll love that dish. My only complaint was that it was a little too small. Maybe another spoonful would have been nice. We also ordered a BBQ Chicken Pizza and it was very runny cheese, but oh so delicious. Wish the price was a little lower on the pizza, but for how great it tasted, we did not mind it as much. We also split an order of chili cheese fries. We ate those things so fast that I hardly remember how amazing they tasted!

  • Hillary S.

    Serious horrible service. Waited 1 hour for take out. People at the restaurant arrived after us, ate and were done before us. Then when we got our order we checked almost all if it before leaving the brewery only to find back at home a pizza (not even the one ordered) with a slice missing that was made 4 hours earlier (per the ticket in the box) given to us. Seriously!! That's disgusting!!!!!! Manager didn't even have the guts to come see us. What evs people!

    (1)

  • Jenna E.

    Everyone in the family can find something to eat here. Deep-fried macaroni and cheese balls, anyone? You'll basically find typical brew pub fare: burgers, pizza, fries, fish and chips... The food is good, but not mind-blowing. However, there is an interesting variety of house beer -- check out the website. If you wear a Maui Brewing t-shirt on Wednesdays, you can get pints for $4.

  • Laura D.

    Amazing CoCoNut Porter!! All the beer is pretty good!! I love going here every time I'm in Maui.. And I love when the have the discount days when you wear their T-shirts and other specials. If you love beer you must go!

  • Reba L.

    I love hoppy ales and this place satisfied. The Imperial Coconut Porter was a bit too coco-nutty for me (a bit more than the coconut porter one finds in cans). Their hoppy red ales also were nicely done. We only had snacks so can't comment too much on food, but service was good nachos excellent and my friend really liked the clam chowder (I say why does it need bacon---now I won't even try it). So why not 5-stars? or even 4? Complete lack of knowledge by the waitstaff about the beer: Me: How does the Santa's Little Helper holiday red ale differ from the Hoku'ula hoppy red ale? Waitress: They're just a little different. Me: Oh. What types of hops are used in the the Shifting Winds Belgian double IPA? Waitress: I don't know, but it has ALOT! Me: Oh. awkward silence Waitress: I could find out. Me: That would be great. She never did. I appreciate they post IBUs and ABV on the board with the ales, but it would be nice to have a little more description for some of the very similar ales, or at least staff that could help. Most brew pubs have menus that will describe the type of hops used and whether they are dry hopped or not.

    Have been here once and plan to go back before we leave the island. Beer was great! Had the pumpkin flavored brew and that was good, but not as good as the "big swell ipa". Have actually had a 6 pack of the big swell stocked in our room entire time! Tasted the root beer and that would taste great with vanilla ice cream. Yum! Not a super huge selection of sizes in tshirts, but the ones they did have were super cool!

  • Caitlin G.

    Good food, great beer but our service wasn't great. Sat at the bar for lunch service and felt like we were inconvinecing the bartender. They were super busy but it might have been better to wait for a table. My husband asked what the bartender recommended and he just said 'whatever you want' so we figured he was just swamped but he had no problem assiting the pretty blonde with the same question ten minutes later. It was cool they offer samples for $1.50 and we were super excited they sold some of their beers to-go in 6 and 4 packs- fun souviner for our brother in law and my sister. Fun place, especially for beer lovers, and we had never heard of the company until our arrival earlier in the week!

  • Rego S.

    Being from the mainland, I didn't realize they made over 20 beers. (I've only known about the 4 cans they export.) I highly recommend the beer sampler. As for food, the beef stew was delicious, and the giant donut holes were like pillows from heaven. Hopefully that's not just the beer talking.

    (5)

  • Chris O.

    This is an update and it is because management at MBC took the time to write me. Why should you the reader care? Because it shows management is on it - that they care - that they have a sincere desire to improve the customer experience !!! The beer is cold and arguably the best out there. I for one will be going back solely to give this establishment another shot. Kudos to owners / management for reading and caring (rare these days).

    (3)

  • Heather A.

    The beers here are amazing -- definitely do a sampler of 4 for $6. The adult Mac and cheese with andouille sausage, mushrooms and truffle oil was divine and pairs well with the lahaina town brown. Housemade spicy ketchup is yummy too! We will definitely head back before our trip is over!!

    (4)

  • Courtney M.

    THAT HOT BLONDE! (is a great beer choice) Great spot, open and inviting. Excellent choice of beers, and the bartenders were not lacking. If you like beer and eye candy, come here and enjoy.

  • L B.

    We went there to get my $3 pints since I had a t-shirt. We were a party of ten. The food was out of this world. The adult Mac and cheese was insane. Everybody loved their meals. The beer was excellent. We had about 5 different brews and they were all great. The atmosphere was hip and great for our large party. The only reason I took a star off was because the girl at the front counter was RUDE.

  • Alison M.

    Great spot recommended by a local while we stayed in Lahaina. Onion rings were amazing along with the adult Mac and cheese. Our server was very friendly and attentive. We loved this place since it wasn't so expensive like the touristy seafood spots, but was just as good!

    (5)

  • Sarah K.

    We enjoyed the BBQ chicken pizza and the sampler. Well my husband did. I had a ginger ale. The waitstaff was polite, attentive and knowledgable when it came to all aspects of the menu. I would certainly revisit but next time not pregnant!

  • Christina H.

    If you love beer and you're on Maui, you need to come here. Try a sampler if you don't know what to choose. First time I was here I asked bartender to choose for me but told him what kind of beers I normally like and dislike and pick accordingly and he did well. If you don't mind sitting at the bar, I recommend it as it has a strip of frost to place your drink on and keep it chilled. All food I've tried is good. Adult mac n cheese is best I've ever had (truffle oil and spicy andouille sausage) but also the most expensive ($19) If you plan on coming on a Wednesday, it's logo day. Wear Maui Brewing co logo and get $4 beers all day. So grab yourself a souvenir and let it pay for itself.

    (5)

  • Jennifer O.

    Let me start by saying that the beer was very good here...so good, that we took a four pack home with us of the coconut porter after eating here and then went to the grocery store then ext night for a six pack of their Mana wheat and when we got home, we went out and bought some bikini blonde for the house....obviously, we liked it. Also, I loved the ice strip on the bar to keep the beer cold...what a great idea! The food, on the other hand, was not so great. I got the buffalo chicken sandwich...it wasn't bad, but could have been smaller, more manageable, spicier, and overall just a better sandwich. The fries that came with it were beer battered and very tasty. The BF got the fish and chips and it was ok, but, again, too large and not tasty enough....go here to drink, grab some food elsewhere.

    (3)

  • Andrea F.

    There is a pretty diverse beer selection, but all in all one visit was enough. It's pretty dark inside so even though there is a cool brew kettle to the side when you walk in, I wouldn't be surprised if most people miss it. Not to mention being hard to read the beer list written on a chalkboard across the room. It was pretty crowded, we went on a Saturday night, and the food was just ok. If I were to do it again, I'd eat somewhere else and just come here for drinks at the bar.

    Typical brew pub atmosphere. The food is quite good and the beer is exceptional. The service is mediocre at best. You could be seated on large picnic benches, possibly sharing with another party. We went on a Monday night and it wasn't too crowded. Worth a visit for the variety of beers if nothing else.

    This brew pub is about 20 minutes north of Lahaina and before Kapalua. It is in a nice shooping area an has a wide open venue with lots of space. I ordered the Maui onion rings as a starter. They were sweet, greasy and bland. Next I had the Pub Plate - Kalua pork, white rice, potato salad and coconut porter BBQ sauce. Sauce is excellent... Pork mild, potato salad bland. Ordered beer sampler with: Bikini Blonde (6/10) ~ Malty and light... Refreshing but a nudge too sweet for me. Coconut Porter (10/10) ~ Phenomenal! Hint of coconut, smooth, high quality brew balanced with hops. Mana Wheat (6/10) ~ Light, hint of pineapple. Double Overhead IPA (9/10) ~ Imperial IPA with 100 IBUs! Hoppy, balanced and fruity. Perfect for Hawaii. Big Swell IPA (7/10) ~ Nice IPA with chewy hops, but light enough for multiple doses. The table mustard has bikini blonde in it - Nom!

    It's a brew pub as advertised. They have brew pub type food. It's good. They have their good beer, and then they have a couple great beers in their selection that you can't find outside of this location. Hawaii 90 Wee Heavy, I'm looking at you. Besides, you might need a T shirt. I wish they could afford a view. If they keep it up, I bet they will be able to in time.

    We had a party of 22+ - service was great (and not just for a large party), they were happy to do separate checks, and the food was delicious!

    We went to watch an OSU game its a good place for some beers. Try the beer sampler. I liked the coconut porter, my Mom did not. My group of 4 shared edamame, hummus trio, and jalapeno cheese bread. The damage for 2 samples, 3 pints, and the food was just over $50. We will go back.

  • Alison M.

    It was difficult for me to rate this establishment, as the beers (Mana Wheat and Coconut Porter) were excellent but the execution of their food and the ambience were a definite miss! We were there for dinner and immediately became disappointed as soon as we were seated. There are booths lining the walls, communal tables by the bar and a limited number of tables and chairs haphazardly thrown in the middle of the dining room. I normally don't mind sitting in the middle but it felt like we were in a fishbowl and everyone was watching. It wasn't inviting and we were a bit uncomfortable being there; felt very awkward. Needs more décor or something to breakup the openness. For apps, we ordered the beer battered onion rings and hot wings. Flavor wise both were good, but the onion rings were so GREASY that it ran down my hands and out of the corner of my mouth! Luckily we had extra napkins so we could blot them. As for the hot wings, again good flavor, but I ordered them extra crispy and they weren't crispy at all. After these apps, we didn't order anything more. Next time, we'll pick up their beers from the local grocery store, food from somewhere else and perch on the beach. Beer - 4 Stars Food Flavor - 4 Stars Food Execution - 1 Star Ambience - 1 Star

    Amazing! I knew I had to come here on my trip as my favorite beer on the mainland is Maui Coconut Porter. The brewery did not disappoint. I tried the Imperial Coconut Porter. Best beer I have ever had!! Food was good too. Do not miss an opportunity to come here. The only dark spot is that they don't have this place back home.

  • Matt C.

    Food here is delicious, definitely get the Surfing Goat Chevre on your burger or pizza. Their custom beers are fun, even if they don't amaze, they also have guest taps which are excellent. If you're in the area, you must stop by.

  • Tricia S.

    Great food and great that they support us watching the baseball playoffs! NLCS on ALL t.v.'s. I had a field green salad with the wasabi vinaigrette dressing. The beers are cold! Come watch the games and support local business! Don't bother with LuLu's. They're drinks are warm.

  • Nick H.

    Best Brewery in the entire Pacific Ocean. They always have a selection of special brews you can't buy in stores. I had the pleasure of sampling an imperial coconut porter and an imperial IPA. They've got delicious pub grub and their bar is fantastic. I recommend the onion rings with chipotle remoulade (made with Maui onions of course--we called them "Meowy" onion rings, because proceeds benefit the Maui Humane Society). I love the frosty strip along the bar for keeping your glass cold. For entertainment you can watch the game on several large screens--or make little snowmen out of the frost on the bar. For the taste-impaired there are even a few domestic swill lagers available! They've got growlers to go too. Enjoy, but drive/walk safe!

  • Michalle R.

    Great selection of microbrews, and our waiter was very helpful and knowledgeable. Helped us narrow it down and we got some great beers. The food was pretty typical pub fare. I added the macadamia nut pesto to my veggie burger - it was the highlight of my meal.

  • Michelle S.

    So.... The decor is "what were they thinking?" It's ugly, loud and the whole place is desperately in of a dusting. Whatever you do, don't look up or you will see piles of dust and grime waiting to float down into your beer! The beer is only ok. I don't know if it's the water or the brew master, but most of their beer has a slightly sour taste and like many micro breweries, they LOVE their hops. I would like to see a selection of nice non-hoppy ales, but that's me. I recently had their Octoberfest which was actually pretty tasty. Bad news is it's a seasonal beer. The food is only ok. The fish & chips are greasy, and sometimes more batter than fish. I had a Black Rock dip the last time I was there. The meat was tender, but the cook needs to learn about seasoning. Here's a secret: Ask for regular ketchup. They like to put beer in everything including their "home made" ketchup which is runny and tasteless. Overall, it's not my favorite place, but I will go and try to make the best of it.

    What a great find. The Coconut Porter and Crystal Wheat beers were superb but the big surprise was the Beer Battered Baked Brie appetizer that came with an excellent pineapple/butter sauce and baguette bread. Our server Jeff was very helpful in our selections. Will definitely return. Jim M. Colorado

    Stopped in for lunch with nine people and they seated us immediately. Service was great by a gal from Maine. Food was awesome. Kalua pork sliders/pub plate/fish and chips/ceasar salad and all the house made ketchup/mustard/bbq sauce was great. Even the kids burger was cooked better than Annies burgers on the big island in kona. And lastly the beer rocked. the imperial coconut porter is awesome!!!!! This is a must stop and please check it out. Good Job gang!

  • Rick K.

    This review is based on a single visit to the brewpub and on a half-dozen Maui Brewing ales I had at other restaurants during my visit. The food was better than I've had at places with more pretensions and is worth a visit on its own merits. Their wedge salad uses a small head of butter lettuce instead of the usual iceberg and was so pretty my wife took a picture to share with friends. The mac and cheese balls are rich, sinful, and tasty. The tortellini has a goat cheese/sun-dried tomato filling with a macadamia nut pesto and is absolutely delicious. We stopped there for the beer but I'd go back for the food. The brews are excellent. I recommend getting a sampler or two so you can get a wide variety. They do standard styles well (like the scotch ale and the winter warmer) and their unique beers use local ingredients without going over the top. I almost passed on the coconut porter because it sounded gimmicky, but it's a solid porter with a hint of coconut in the finish. Mana Wheat is a normal refreshing wheat ale with different fruit notes than usual due to its use of pineapple. A lighter ale with ginger was the best discovery, a very food-friendly brew. Prices are in the 'reasonable for Maui' category. Service was fine. We were there during a slack time though. Our guidebook, Maui Revealed, doesn't like Maui Brewing. I heartily recommend that guidebook (esp the location-aware smartphone app version) but don't take their advice in this case.

    When I visit a new restaurant, I love to try selections that I've never seen before. At the MBC, in addition to the 4 brews they distribute in cans, I was impressed to find they offer 16 unique brews not found anywhere else! I ordered two and sampled probably 4 or 5 others, and for me, these brews were reason enough to return.The Black Rock Lager was very good, but the Oaked Father Damian (aged in Pinot Nior barrels) was the most interesting tasting beer I have ever enjoyed. Since I was alone, I sat at the bar where a strip of ice runs along the bar on which to set your glass to help keep it cool. I ordered the Onion Rings appetizer which were hot and tasty. Since I was alone, I sat at the bar where the bartender provided quick service and plenty of helpful information about their brews.

    First of all...5* for the beer. Love their varieties. The double IPA was amazing! The food is a little better than your typical pub-fare. They have some wonderful items that are locally grown and very fresh. That makes me pretty happy. The baby butter leaf lettuce salad was excellent and really hit the spot. My fiance had some sort of meat sandwich (sorry, I can't recall) and he said it was pretty good. My only complaint was with the dessert. I ordered the bread pudding and it was disgusting. I mean, pretty darn horrible. It tasted like mushy French Toast sticks drowned in caramel sauce. It was not at all what I was expecting. I would definitely make an effort to come here, try a few beers and hang out. Try some of the food, but avoid the bread pudding at all costs.

    We ate a pretty solid lunch here a few days ago. It's a brewery so you know they're gonna have plenty of beer and pretty solid pub grub. Well, I wasn't disappointed. I had a pretty tasty Lemongrass beer and I tried their Buffalo Chicken sandwich which was quite tasty. I would definitely come back for a quick bite to eat.

    The wife and I visited this location because she wanted to try out some of Maui's spirits so to speak....LOL. The amazing thing though was the food...it was simply delicious. My wife did enjoy her beer though.....she had the 4 pack sampler they offer....since I don't drink I just had water. The place has a very relaxed atmosphere....but then again most places on Maui have relaxed atmosphere's. I guess since this location is within walking distance of our timeshare property I really didn't expect it. However in hindsight since our property is in a residential area....this place would fit right in as a local favorite. I wouldn't recommend driving a long distance to come here but if your in the "neighborhood" give it a try. Eat, Drink and be Merry my Friends!!!!

    Came for the beer but enjoyed a great lunch as well. Nice atmosphere and quick friendly service. We ordered two samplers to get a cross-section of the many many beers they brew there. I liked the Barefoot and Mana Wheat. The next time I'm on the island, I'll make it a point to go again!

    **DISCLAIMER: I am giving the 5 stars for my review on the beer portion** Maui Brewing Company is a well respected brewery in San Diego seeing as it isn't a local brewery like all the rest of them we have. We only get a few of their brews typically and they are usually in the form of their signature can, which is why I was intrigued to hit this place up. I wanted to try something unique to Maui and unique to the brewery so I went straight for the Freight Train IPA (San Diego IPA), which I thought was funny from the beginning. The nose is awesome and the hop profile is distinct, however the flavor wasn't as hard/big as I was expecting with a 7.8% ABV (could be a good or bad thing). For my second brew, I went for the Black Rock IPA (Black IPA) which also had a strong nose, great black color and the overall flavor was quite fulfilling. I also learned while here that the Black Rock IPA will be entered into 2012 World Beer Cup located in San Diego in May. I like the vibe MBC provides for it's customers and the beers they brew seem to be quality across the board. REVIEW FOR RESTAURANT: 3 Stars While I enjoy the environment and customer service we received while at MBC, the food wasn't something I was overly wow'd with. We ordered the deep fried brie with pineapple cream sauce, adult mac n cheese & nachos with Kahlua pig. The nachos were definitely the bread winner out of these 3 - the Kahlua pig was flavorful and moist and was a great addition for the nachos because it covers more chips and separates easier for sharing. The Adult Mac n Cheese was rich in flavor with the different cheeses, but I thought the consistency was more like an alfredo pasta sauce versus a thick, crispy mac n cheese like I was expecting. While it tasted great, it was more like an elbow mac n cheese in a runny pasta sauce. As for the Deep Fried Brie, this was my least favorite. The deep fried outside took away from my favorite cheese and provided a fun crunch for your bread, but the overall flavors weren't there like I was expecting. While it's a good idea in theory, the execution isn't exactly what I was looking for as a snack. The customer service was great. The staff was friendly, attentive, tried to up-sell us in a subtle way instead of a used car salesman and we felt like we had enough attention without being annoyed (which is key). Overall, I enjoyed the MBC and would definitely return again.

    Really cool spot! A nice mix of tourists and locals. Very nice and informed staff. Fantastic beers! Excellent food that doesn't price gouge. My favorites were the Lemongrass Saison, Double Overhead DIPA, and the Belgian Strong aged in Pinot Noir Barrels. A really cool spot that I wish I could have spent more time at...

  • Sara P.

    The appetizers were pretty darn good; we had onion rings, edamame, and hummus with pita and roasted vegetables. The cheese tortellini entree was really small and bland. The tofu pineapple curry was not exactly what I expected; the flavors didn't seem to go together as well as they do in a Thai curry. The beers were okay, but we prefer kona. Our server, Jose, was friendly and on top of it.

    Well, this is odd. Apparently my original review for Maui Brewing, which I've cut and pasted below, is for the same place. There are 2 Maui Brewing listings. Odd. Anyway, here's a brief update: May 2012: The beer is still quite good, the food is still very average. My wife adores the hummus, so kudos to them for that, but I can do without most of their sandwiches and nearly all of their entrees. This time I had the adult grilled cheese, which was a really poor choice. It includes 3 different cheeses, fried salami and some caramelized onions. It was... okay. I felt some extreme guilt after eating it. I chose to upgrade to onion rings and those too were unremarkable. Unfortunate. Damn, if they don't brew some tasty beer, though. I had a Black Rock Lager and a Pueo Pale. Tasty, cold and fresh. Kudos to the brewmaster! It's a safe bet that between the lovely beer and the hummus we'll be back every time we're in Maui. I'll just have to bring a Snickers bar with me. --------------------------------------------------­--------------------------------------------------­-------------------------- May 2010: Similar to Melissa M., I too wish I could do 2 ratings. Although, as an added "twist", the assignment of the previously mentioned ratings would flip-flop based on 2 different visits. I enjoyed their beer. I got kinda bored drinking the 2 versions of Kona's beer in Maui, and their takes on various styles were quite good. The "Double Overhead IPA" they had was an absolute winner. 9.2% ABV along with a 92 IBU rating and it was smooooth. Dangerous, dangerous brew if you want to keep your eyes uncrossed. McGrumpy's and Big Swell were also fine beers. The food and service ranged from great to just below average. I had the Mahi Mahi Fish and Chips (fish okay, chips okay), the Cuban Sandwich (not bad) and the Cajun Grilled Mahi Mahi (very, very good). The service varied wildly. The first night (just the wife and I) our server was very accommodating and friendly. He took extra care to explain each of the beers and could sense that I was familiar with terminology, so he didn't "over-explain". The next time we visited was with a party of 10, and our server ROCKED. The final visit our server was just absolutely clueless. After we place our orders from the regular menu she remembered to mention the "specials" which included tacos of some sort (she didn't remember what kind) and a tostada of some kind. Ultimately it's worth the visit. It doesn't offer the spectacular scenery of restaurants down south in Lahaina but it makes up for it in their beer selection. Food is serviceable. Keep your fingers crossed on the server!

    Wedge salad was awesome, the dressing was different than any I've had, really delicious. I ordered the goat cheese and sun dried tomato tortellini, it was out of this world delicious! I could have eaten a larger portion size however, but I'm sure the calories were through the roof so it was probably for the best. My husband got the Cuban sandwich and it was crazy good too. It had a pineapple sauce that really made the sandwich sing. Too bad we didn't come here earlier in out vacation or we would have come here more than once. To drink, I ordered their root bear and my husband got the witbier, both were good.

  • Zar A.

    I usually don't write "ok" reviews, but for this one, I feel that it is necessary. Before coming here for the first time, I had high expectations for this place as its name is the "Maui Brewing Company." It's located in Maui and it's Maui's brewing company. Why would I not have high expectations for a place like this? So, I expected a big list of beers and a huge menu of food, a large crowd in the establishment and a great staff. I came here for lunch on a Saturday and nothing was to my expectations. This establishment has a decent listing of local Maui beers, a small menu of food, the place was barren and the staff was ok. I ordered a salad and a kalua pork pizza to share. The salad was decent and the pizza was very greasy. Overall, my experience was "ok".

  • Darren G.

    Nice place. Love the ice bar they set the drinks on. Keeps your beer from getting hot. Food was good, service was ok. All the beer of theirs I tried was good, but my favorites are still Big Swell and Mana Wheat, both available in the mainland.

  • Arturo V.

    My wife and I visited Maui Brewing mainly to sample the beer, but we also ate while there. We each had beer samplers made-up with six samples each, and our server was quite good about asking what kinds of beers we liked / wanted to try. We then moved on to ordering food, and found that the Hot Wings were great! The Beer Battered Brie didn't have a ton of flavor, but was still quite tasty . . . probably just a very mild brie they're using. I had the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich and enjoyed it quite a bit, mainly because it was well-balanced. There was just enough heat, and the combination of toppings worked very well. We finished our evening there each with a pint of our favorite brew from our samplers, and it was the perfect way to end the visit. We had read a couple reviews about the decor lacking. . . come on, it's a brew pub, not an art gallery. If someone's going to critique the decor, they're clearly not there to enjoy the beer. We rather enjoyed the airy feeling of the building, and sure it could use a bit "more" for decor, but the place felt just right. We found the staff to be very helpful (we were sitting at the bar) and quite attentive. The pricing was very reasonable, and overall we had a great visit. We will definitely make this a stop every time we come back to Maui.

    This place used to be so good. Disappointing. Pizza was light on toppings. The salad had watered down dressing. Beer is great, the food has gone down hill.

  • Frank W.

    Beer was great, 4 bucks a pint can't beat that. Pizza slices for 1.50 on special, pizza was really good for being cheap. Service was not good, the women with us got ignored and I got catered to which made it uncomfortable for all of us. All in all great vibe, I would go back but the girls said they wouldn't.

  • Nick L.

    Maui Brewing Company was a very good place to eat. I had their Kalua Pork and it was juicy and delicious. The variety of beers is large and wide. I went with a large group and the service and food were great. I would come back here, but probably during a sports game, or something.

    My family and I stopped in for lunch on Sunday, 3/30. My son, wife and I are fans of small breweries and enjoy beers of all types. We were taking our time in surveying the interesting interior and the extensive beer menu and I felt that the server was not patient with us first timers. We made it a point to visit well rated establishments for all our meals. I was less than pleased with our server who played the strong silent type very well. My daughter, who is not up on beers but rather wines asked some questions about the beers of our server who displayed no personality or interest... and my daughter is a real cutie with lots of personality. We had already been in Maui a week and I was quite pleased with the service, enthusiasm and interest displayed by many servers and guides. I was not pleased of the Maui Brewery Pub server during my particular visit. I hope it can be chalked -up to an off day for him. I therefore had to hold off on an additional star. If service does not enhance or effect your enjoyment of food you'll be glad to know their burgers are great, juicy and cooked to order - medium for me, and the fries were hot and tasty. My son enjoyed his not too spicy Jambalaya, my wife - her slider and my daughter had nachos - we were all happy campers. On the beer side my son and I ordered the Imperial Coconut Porter ABV +10.0 (I believe) by error which had higher alcohol content - a little heavy for lunch and activities planned after but it was good. I wanted the regular Coconut Porter ABV 6.0. For us the food saved the visit.

  • Tracy M.

    I went for happy hour since we tasted their beers down at the Maui Onion Festival-bonus they are about a half mile from where we were staying. I've been to brewpubs with a little more character than this, but I'll say their beer offerings were about as diverse as I've seen. Definitely something for everyone. I got the Bikini Blonde and my buddy got the Mana Wheat with pineapple and both were quite good. Two rounds (we got comped for one beer since it was the end of the tap and couldn't quite fill a pint glass) and a pizza was $25. This is a downright steal for Hawaii! I'd certainly return to Maui Brewing next time I'm in town for happy hour.

    I love this place. When we drive to s-turns to go surf we eat here every time afterwards. My favorite is the chicken sandwich with the bikini blonde sauce. You can't go wrong. Sliders are also killer. I only wish I lived closer to it... But we still drive there from upcountry

  • Gregory U.

    I've eaten here twice - once a few years back on my first trip to Maui and again on my most recent trip. Both times I left happy and full. It's on the west side of Maui, but trust me it's worth it. If you visit Lahaina, MBC is just up the road and well worth the ~15 minute drive north. Food - Five (5) stars: The food (and more particularly the beer) were amazing. Both times I went I had the burger and it was amazing. I love amber and porter beers, and I've never been disappointed. Everyone in our group raved about the food, so I can only assume they were as pleased as I was. Ambiance - Five (5) stars: This place is what a pub should be. Dark and secretive yet very clean. There is something mysterious about this place and that's what I love about it. Service - Five (5) stars: Both times the servers were excellent. The food orders were delivered correctly (even with our numerous requests of subtle little changes to the order) and timely. The host even went out of his way to provide us a table for our large group - which we appreciated as we were pretty hungry. This is the best restaurant on Maui in my honest opinion. Every time I visit Maui I'm going to go here - you should too...

    3.5 stars. Went here twice on our recent trip. The Ahi Cobb Salad and Beer Battered Bree were my favorites. Beer is great. The only things I didn't like was the restaurant layout/ambiance... You can easily get sat in a dark corner. There are zero windows inside the restaurant... Weird, but, the food is better than most Lahaina joints with the nice views.

    I was with the wife on a spur of the moment trip to Maui and was told to definitely visit Maui Brew-Co. I was delightfully surprised. The jalepeno cheese bread was amazing, the (numerous) beers on tap were cheap and delicious, and the chicken sandwich was tasty. The server (forgot his name, but had blond/brown long hair) was very nice, and continually checked in on us. I enjoyed my 2 hours there, and will definitely be back next time we're in Maui

  • Richard M.

    Aloha! Great and very extensive brew selection. I was surprised to the awesome local brew joint (novice beer enthusiast hurrr). Make the small trek from Lahaina, it's worth it. I only had appetizers, the hummus plate and edamame. Hummus plate was delicious, 3 very flavorful hummus selections with pita. Love the beer? They sell 4-6 packs and even beer jugs (aka growlers). Yes, jugs. Cheers!

    Well hot damn! I might have found my new favorite restaurant on Maui, too bad it's so damn far from where I live on the island! Tasty tasty tasty beers, unique atmosphere (I dug the keg light fixtures), and great food. I had the cuban sandwich. With the house-made mustard, this sandwich was AMAZING. On my way out the door, I saw another table with a plate of Nachos, and decided right then and there what I would be ordering the next time around...

  • Anthony K.

    It was one of the most depressing places I've been to. We stopped by to grab some beers and check out the Maui night life. To our dismay, the beers were there, but the nightlife at 10:30pm to closing was non-existent. We did chat it up with an inebriated local that was quite nice, but I felt like I was in a sad, derelict episode of Cheers. Also, no one knew my name. The decor is lacking as it feels like the bar is too large for itself. The ceilings are high and seating is spread out and sparse. It feels cold and unfinished. They could use a splash of warm colors and a visit from Candace Olsen. She does some fantastic design work. I need her to remodel/demolish my house. In the end, alcohol makes everything fun, so I can't give you an accurate assessment of this establishment. It started as a 2 star, but ended as somewhere around a 4. Maybe I should average the two scores and take the standard deviation of pie r squared. PS: Coconut Porter taste like crap. It's the only drink I've ever asked to be changed out.

    A MUST do when visiting Maui. Try the sampler. If dining with someone else, get two samplers, each with different beers and share. Their pint glass make for a cool souvenir to take home!

    We visited Maui Brewing Co on our Honeymoon, we decided to only eat out a couple times because funds were tight and this place had great reviews! The atmosphere was casual and the menu was great, we both found something we LOVED. Hubs had tasters of a few of their brews and loved them all. We even had Dessert and it was to die for! For all the food the bill was still under $50 and we left fat & happy :)

  • Edward L.

    Very close to our condo and the high turnover of visitors means you see a lot of different people here. Food is extra sized but a bit pricy for that too. The beers are very hand crafted and local so you get what you ask for. Would be nice to be able to ask them to chill a pint more than normal so I'm not drinking an English glass by the time I'm done but if that's all I can find to complain about you know its worth the visit.

    (5)

  • Andrew T.

    Great beer, good food, and no complaints about the service. We enjoyed the Coconut Porter and Bikini Blonde, as well as a few of their other beers at other places on the island. Their burger was tasty and the mahi-mahi salad was delicious. It was a little hard to read the beer menus from where we were sitting, it would be nice if they could give you a copy at your table, even if just a paper print-out.

    Fantastic beer (according to my husband) great food, good service and one of the cheapest meals we had in Maui. No-brainer - you should visit here at least once, but do it early in your trip in case you want to come again and again. I got the goat cheese tortellini which tasted sooo rich and handmade, along with brownie a la mode that is simply the best brownie I have ever had.

  • Melissa M.

    Eco-friendly local business that supports other local businesses. They have a great thing going, I wish I loved their food. We were looking for an easy casual dinner after having feasted the last few days in Maui. We headed to Maui Brewing Company for dinner. We called ahead and they said they take reservations but that we didn't need them, and they were right. We got there and they were busy, but we were seated right away. Our waitress (a lady old enough to be a grandmother) was hustling all over the the restaurant. She was attentive. Appetizers: -Baked Brie with pineapple salsa and bread. The pineapple salsa wasn't sweet enough to match the brie. The appetizer was just so-so, I wouldn't get it again. - beer battered onion rings - not bad. The onion rings were good, large, and not overly greasy. - wedge salad - a good solid salad. Our main entrees came out just after our appetizers. Our waitress said she put our orders in together because she thought she might forget our main entrees if she didn't do them right away. I know she's old, but our table was tiny and we had no room. Main courses: -pizza was good. nothing to write home about. -BBQ chicken sandwich - ewww. I only ate half of it because the sauce was really overpowering. I didn't like that it was small cubed chicken. It just lacked a lot. - fish and chips - good. If you are looking for some locally brewed beers and a casual dinner in west Maui, this is a good place. Don't expect amazing food, but just some solid choices.

    21 beers on tap!! I had no idea and wish I had picked another day besides my last to come in. Had the French dip sandwich, which was delicious and using flights my wife and I tried out 6 beers. Definitely worth a stop if you're a craft beer lover.

  • L B.

    I am a fan of the beer. Cocoanut Porter? Turns out its awesome - original, topical, tropical, and local. Bought a t-shirt. There are a lot of other specialty beers here that you can't find elsewhere, not even in most local stores. The ambiance of the brewery itself is rougher than most, though I enjoyed it. Touristy, maybe a little divey. Bartenders know their stuff inside out. The bar food is pretty good, though I did not try the pizza even on several visits. I would hang out here all the time if I lived in Kahana, or Napili, or even Lahaina town. Worth the drive, plus the bus stops a block away if you want to overindulge.

  • NachoPhD D.

    These nachos have so many yummy things on them they have to be served in a bowl. And you will need a fork. $11 usd straight up but add the pork and guac for $15. Best nachos so far! Service was great...too bad maui brewpub doesn't have a view. Oh and nice cold beer too. Get a flight.

  • Adam S.

    Not sure there is a better place in Hawaii to enjoy such a wide selection of Craft Beers than at Maui Brewing Company. Aside form the awesome selection that they export to the mainland, they have a wide variety of beers that are uniquely Hawaiian. The food is awesome as well. We ate here twice during our vacation, and sat at the bar both times. The built in frosted edge to set your beer makes it the best bar around. Can't wait to come back.

    (5)

  • Travis O.

    Stopped here first night on Maui because we wanted a burger place. We were not disappointed at all. Burger was great, as was the Porter stew; stew's veggies could have been a bit more cooked, but we agreed that it was better to err on the side of crisp rather than soggy. Server, Ben Z, was very friendly and made our experience even better. He is knowledgable about his beer, and suggested a great pairing with the stew. Would absolutely head here again - plenty of selection of beer and food to make multiple trips in visits to Maui.

  • Megan V.

    Four stars, mostly for the brew. The husband has a new favourite beer thanks to MBC - the Double Overhead IPA. I let him have as much as he wanted which was actually quite fine with me - I was having their house made root beer, which was very good. We liked the food as well. The burgers were good, but our favourite was the chili and the chili cheese friends. We'll definitely be back when we're on Maui next.

  • Ken M.

    As a mainlander you might think Maui Brewery is just a local novelty, and, in a way, it is. With over 20 brews available, the beer aficionado cannot go astray. In my last visit to Maui Brews, I tried the coconut porter and Oktoberfest...both excellently crafted beers. What distinguishes Maui Brewery's from many other brewpubs is that their beers are carefully aged rather than turned out somewhat "green." In the food department, highly recommended are the Maui onion rings as well as the wide range of pizzas. In our January 2013 visit my grand kids raved about the pulled pork sandwiches. On a return visit in September, we enjoyed the Hawaiian nachos that we thought was just going to be an appetizer. Wrong! It was a meal in itself, so much so that dinner reservations at Lahaina Grill had to be rescheduled to another evening. The only other brewpub I've found to be comparable in the Hawaiian Islands was the Kona Brewery on the big island of Hawaii....both excellent!

  • Charlie B.

    Good brews. Decent pub grub. Bad service. The waiter was indifferent and not particularly pleasant or good. I rewarded his sad service with a smaller tip and he appeared less than pleased. I'm sorry, but you are not entitled to 20%. Better service will improve your income.

  • Michael O.

    The food here was amazing. Unfortunately the service did not match the quality of food. We initially thought the server was maybe having a bad day, but he seemed fine when it came to flirting with a girl at the next table. The ahi tuna salad was seriously to die for! Great beer and onion rings too. The food would have warranted 5 stars if not for the service.

  • Janet O.

    Go for the drinks people not the food. ALthough I must agree they can improve their food selection and even the taste. SO this review is a five for the drinks. Like Ron B. the Maui Bikini Blonde Lager was a personal favorite. I did like their house IPA as well. Awesome bartenders. The place is a little different from the usual brewery. It's Hawaii style. SUper casual-like whatever the beers are awesome!

  • Rocco P.

    Great food at a great brew house. The Buffalo Chicken Sandwich was quite good. Panko crusted chicken with their own Bikini Blonde Hot Sauce soft supple bun and excellent fries. Cuban sandwich was thick and juicy with an excellent flavor not dry at all. Great selection of beers. Excellent price.

    I would consider myself a bit of a beer snob, so I approach every brewpub with a bit of caution. However, a respectable friend of mine recommended I try this place, so I gave it a shot. I'm very glad I decided to check it out! The beer is delicious, and the selection is very good. They had a beer brewed with Louisville slugger maple bats! The food is good, a little expensive, but good. If you're in the area and looking for a good local beer, come check this place out!

  • Phil And Kimber P.

    We get to three stars through mathematics - 5 stars for beer and 1 star for food averages out to 3 stars. The beer is top drawer. My only complaint (and an awesome bartender made me get over it) is that you can't get samples at your table. You can order a sampler of the basics, of course, and overpay for them, but if you want a taste before ordering you have to step to the bar. Well, once there I was no longer bothered. The bartenders were happy to hook you up with a taste of anything. The wife and I had Bikini Blonde (solid, crisp, and refreshing but perhaps a tad predictable), Mana Wheat (surprisingly tasty with just a hint of fruit), Big Swell IPA (not overly hoppy) and Freight Train IPA (more what I like in an IPA with hops, citrus, and a balanced bite). The food was a major disappointment. I have a love for meatloaf like a previous Yelper, but I'm sorry that I didn't read her review first! The meatloaf had the same strange spice, but that wasn't the worst part. It was very tough, and overly hot, much like it had been overcooked and then re-heated in a microwave before serving. Then the bacon wrap was like a plastic meat container that was inedible. Moving to the mashed potatoes I was hopeful. Wrong! The potatoes were hardly seasoned and covered with a congealed gravy that reminded me of that chocolate sundae sauce I had as a kid that froze solid on the ice cream (Magic Shell?). The only redeeming part of the dish was the Kula Corn which was grilled on the cob and tasted great. The wife had fish and chips which was the only reason we could consider 1 star. The fish was flaky and fresh, despite a little heavy on the deep frying, and the fries were crisp and tasty. I should have ordered fries to substitute for my mashed potatoes. $18 for the meatloaf was felonius, but $12 for the fish and chips wasn't bad. Oh, yeah, the decor was industrial, which I can understand for a brewpub, but many of the tables seem isolated and without any brewpub like feel. The service was acceptable.

    This is a great spot on Maui that should not be missed if you are interested in craft beers and good reliable pub food. I have to laugh at all the reviews from San Francisco critiquing the service- I live/work in the bay area and I have to say the rudest, most disengaged servers in the world are found in the SF Bay Area. Bartenders an Servers know their beers and know the menu, they manage the ebb and flow of this place very well- if you want a beer/food pairing you might get a skeptical look or tow. Pick something and commit haha You can't beat the double IPA if you are a hoppy beer lover. The coconut porter is Fabulous!! I am really a porter drinker but the toasty coconut flavor is worth a try. Try to get a seat at the bar- they have the neatest way to keep the beer cold- a strip of "iced" metal which builds up frost is where you can park your beer while talking and/or enjoying some food. Large tables are perfect for big groups. They have a nice selection of shirts in the front of the place. Food- The fish & chips, cuban sandwich and nachos were the menu selections tried over a couple of days. Portions are plentiful and tasty. The Kahlua Pork on the nachos is a must- smoky and plentiful it compliments the black beans, jalapenos and chips to perfection. Fish is moist with a crispy batter that does not overwhelm the fish. The Cuban sandwich has the fabulous Kahlua Pork- rivals many offerings in Miami! Take a growler home with you and enjoy Maui brewing well beyond the moment.

    The world famous Maui Brewing company does not bottle beers, all beers are either keged or canned, available at a number of distributors off of the island the beer is defiantly world class. The aluminum can cuts down on the environmental impact and negates all UV damage that happens with clear and green glass bottles, for enthusiasts even the brown glass bottles allow for still some level of damage to sensitive beers, and I would imagine reduced shipping costs so we can enjoy the beers at home. For porter lovers the coconut porter is world class, the beers from Maui Brewing Company earn a 5 star rating in my book, the food is just as should be expected at any brew house, and then being on the island of Maui drives the prices up even a bit more. It's hard go wrong with a poor boy (although the fried oyster is a major fail) or a most grilled sandwich from most brew houses.

    We liked this place so much, we went there twice! My friend is a big fan of their IPAs, so she was in heaven. I liked the bikini blonde brew, and we also loved the food. The first day I got the coconut porter beef stew, which was awesome and hearty. Loved it. Second visit we went for some lighter fare (if this can in any way be considered light) and got the beer-battered brie. Amazing. It's came with some kind of pineapple butter spread stuff - my friend liked that but it was a little too rich for me. The brie by itself was really great. I'd recommend this place. The waitstaff are really nice and the beers are good.

    The beer at Maui Brewing is great. It's all craft beer so if that's your thing you will feel right at home here. They remodeled the place a few years back and it kinda reminds me of the Yardhouse in Waikiki kinda sorta with the stainless steel bar and loud rock n roll blaring in the background when I was there. The bar has an ice strip on it which makes it unique. Food here is a totally different animal. If their food was as good as their beer then I would rate them at least four stars but alas it isn't so knock off one star for that. I usually go there for lunch but i just mainly drink the beer with usually just a pupu on the side.

    This place was great. Not sure what everyone is talking about with the food...its bar food and we had awesome super filling nachos. Had a wonderful ginger saison, coconut porter was interesting with more of a coconut after taste..still good. A coffee stout with a big coffee flavor which i loved...so many i did not get to try i cant wait to go back.

    This place is one of Kind - Of course you won't find another Exotic and Tasty Food Establishment like MBC Pub anywhere closer to the Equator! The Brews are Extremely Exceptional and Well worth it to visit and have a taste of the garlic grain pizza bread!

    Pizza and beer were awesome! A solid win in a very touristy area. we had such a hard time finding reasonably priced food in Maui so this hit the spot. I had no idea they make so many different beers since all we get mainland are 2 of the canned beers. Great place!

  • Mark S.

    Okay, anyone who writes that Maui does not make great beers should be discredited immediately. Maui is doing some fun things with their brewing - just like Dogfish Head on the East Coast - and is offering styles that are well made. The Bikini Blonde is a solid session-built Helles, the Big Swell is a well-balanced IPA and the Coconut Porter is simply the best specialty porter that I have drunk. The in-house brews - like the Double Overhead IPA, Mac Nut Brown and the Smokestack Rauchbier - are fantastic. You should try the stuff that is only brewed for the restaurant and you will not be disappointed. And this is coming from a guy who ran a bar that specialized in Alesmith, Stone, Avery, Green Flash, Russian River, Victory, Unibroue and other brilliant beers. As a brewing company, Maui is quickly becoming a part of that group. Only a beer dilettante would argue otherwise. The bartender, John, knew the products and was able to also talk thoughtfully about some of my personal faves, like Bear Republic's Red Rocket. I don't know who other Yelpers had for bartenders, but John was quite knowledgeable. As for the food, well, that is another story. The CC and I stuck to appetizers - onion rings and calamari - which were meh. I was not willing to spend much on eats since the menu appears pretty uninspired and because what I saw coming out of the kitchen did not fill me with optimism. I would suggest that you eat a nice meal somewhere else and come here for the beer. The beers themselves - and John's plucky tending - are worth four stars.

    Maui Brewing Company has a great selection of delicious beers. I can't exactly remember the names of what I had there but I know almost every beer was delicious! They had some unusual smokey beers that I really enjoyed, definitely worth checking out. They also have this ring around the bar that is frosted and keeps your beer cold, its pretty cool. Food is solid. The beer battered brie is absolutely delicious and a must have. As far as the entrees go I didn't have anything that was mind blowing. The burger was good but expensive. The local plate was solid but the pork was a little on the dry side. My cousin ordered the jambalaya and said it wasn't too flavorful. Another of my cousins ordered the hawaiian pork pizza which was good. The main reason you will want to go here is for the beers and the brie. That is enough to carry this place.

    We are craft brew snobs and this place makes the cut! Really great selection with unique ingredients and well balanced brews. Kind of wish it was in a better location than a strip mall, we didn't like being indoors on such a lovely day on such a lovely island. But the amazing food and brews make up for the lack of view. Definitely recommend this place if you are a fan of local craft brewing!

    Food runner and hostess were nicer than the waitress. When we asked if they had a beer menu she points at the other side of the restaurant like we were stupid. Needless to say we only had one rounds of drinks when really we were planning to do more. Only reason they get two stars is their beer battered fried bread pudding nearly made up for the atrocious service.

    I was really looking forward to my first trip to MBC. Unfortunately it was a bad experience. First, the good. The imperial coconut porter was fantastic, along with the passion fruit beer. Veggie pesto pizza was tasty too. Now..the bad. In Oregon, where the beer options are vast, It's extremely common to try a samples of beer before deciding on a pint. I'm not talking sample size..I'm talking thimble size. When I asked for my second sample..I was accused of trying to drink free and that it "couldn't be done". I was offended..and upset. So, I bypassed the waiter and headed straight for the source..the bartender. I received a similar unwelcome attitude from this guy. I was just so confused. Needless to say..we left as soon as we could..passing on the shirt I had planned on buying. I couldn't tell if the employees were to blame, the owner, or both. There was a feeling that this place was run by the Gestapo..but I could be wrong..and these employees could've been having a bad day...possibly thinking they can act how they want since they work at a brewery in the tropics. All in all a bad craft beer experience, and I will never buy another Maui Brewing beer..no matter how much I like it.

    The samplers were great! A large variety of beer to choose from that isn't in your local grocery store. We ordered the chili cheese fries as an appetizer and they were very good. You could taste the beer in the chili. Yum. The service was mediocre. Our server disappeared for awhile and forgot to bring me my drink so I had to order it again. I could have gotten over that, but as we were leaving my husband wanted to buy a shirt and the man at the host stand was less than friendly. It kind of left me with a bad impression of the place. So as far as the beer and food we ate, it's 4 stars. Service would be 3 stars.

  • Tessa S.

    Do NOT miss the adult mac and cheese. I'm not kidding. It was YUM. My hubby had the cuban sandwich which was also outstanding. And, we shared some of the best onion rings I've ever had. Add to that the proximity to our condo and the laid back atmosphere and I am sold. I'm dying to go back for their happy hour specials. Excellent service. Excellent home grown beer. It's a little too bar-ish to be upscale but the food and service more than make up for it.

    Came here after jumping off cliffs at the Ritz Carlton...What's NOT to like: a chalkboard with a list of locally brewed beer, food, great bartenders, and a ICY place to put your pint glass! We sat at the bar and ordered flights since we can only get a small portion of their beers in cans. Some of their beers were not to my liking, but my BF liked them (he's a huge Big Swell fan!) We ordered the Fish and chips and onion soup...both very good--ono was the fish! Not a fancy restaurant (warehouse like ceilings), but a great place to grab a beer and get out of the sun for a little bit! :)

    We headed to MBC for appetizers and drinks this week. It was wonderful. They have an extensive appetizer menu and we enjoyed almost the entire thing. The chicken wings were juicy with great kick, the nachos were enorous and yummy, the chili and french onion soup delicious, the brie excellent, the hummus plate was great and the ceaser, too. We loved our waiter...quick on his feet, he never let us run out of drinks. I would recommend this place for sure!

  • Jason G.

    Had been researching Maui Brewing while planning a family vacation. Took my family of four there for dinner. Kids really enjoyed the Mac n cheese and the pizza. The fish and chips was generously portioned, beer battered, and served with fries. YThe Cuban sandwich was great especially when I asked for a little fresh pineapple to put on it as well. All food was served hot and quickly. Service was outstanding. They had a comprehensive selection of beers. The Mana Wheat is a pineapple wheat. It's very well balanced and the pineapple is subtle. The Aloha Baktuu was the most interesting beer. Very complex and robust but again very well balanced. You can get some of their product "to go" in cans or in half gallon growler. Definitely a must do and will likely be back again before heading home to the mainland.

    An array of bears are listed in multicolor chalk on the blackboard. There are several TVs tuned to sports channels and bar seating. It feels like you are sitting in the middle of a warehouse, but not in a bad way. I tried the Coconut Porter but couldn't taste the coconut. I don't like dark beers, and realized my mistake at having ordered a potter later. My wife took it. The menu also offered some beer cocktails and beer to go. Even the mustard is made with beer. The family ordered the fried brie appetizer. It was good, but it doesn't come with enough bread and you need to order extra bread to finish it. I ordered the seafood burger. It was rather bland. Some mayonnaise or tartar sauce would have help, but the hockey puck of protein was rather flavorless. The ketchup was tomato sauce, which is commendable, but also rather bland. The mustard was good, and I mixed them in an effort to add taste to my burger. The fries are okay as far as fries go. I ordered the Mana Wheat as a second beer, and it was good, although I couldn't detect the pineapple. I would give Maui Brew a second try, and order something else.

  • Brian R.

    First the good - the beer was outstanding. We tried the sampler and finished all of them. Excellent! The Sobre Humano was one of the best beers that I have tasted. It was so good I took the tour of the brewery to try the open fermentation variety. It was even better. Now the not so good. The food was at best mediocre. The adult grill cheese was weak. My son had the pizza. Let's put it this way, he wouldn't eat it after the second bite. Both were very greasy. My opinion the atmosphere was too bar like. Yes I realize it is a brew pub. The menu needs to be upgraded. With the quality beer products produced I honestly expected more from the brew pub. I only give it a three becasue of the beers - keep up that effort!

    The food was sub-par, the service was worse. My wife and I are staying up at the Villas so this place is on our way back to our vacation rental. We stopped in late on our 3rd night on Maui and ended up eating so burnt nachos and bad chile served by a waitress who would rather we not be there. I never believe in hating a place on one experience so I went back again the next day to give the place another shot. Sat at the bar this time got the same bad service from an entirely different person who wished I wasn't there bothering her. The food I ordered the second time was slightly better, but still not worth the trouble.

    We hosted a bachelor/bachelorette party (about 35 people) and everything was wonderful. The food and beers were delicious (loved the Wild Hog Pizza!), the service was attentive and organized, and all of our guests were talking about it for days after, even recommending it to others! Leading up to this event, I was in e-mail contact with the restaurant event manager, and they helped everything come together very smoothly. First off, thank you yelpers for recommending this place, and thank you Maui BrewPub for accommodating us and providing great memories for everyone!

  • Natalie D.

    Yummy nachos, beer and pizza (wild hog)!! The nachos are huge and definitely big enough to share with two or three people as the main course. This place has a bit of a strange shopping-center atmosphere, but once you get the food and drinks its worth it! Maui brewing Co has pretty good beer, which means a lot coming from a california micro-brew fan (my husband)! They offer a large selection of beer as well as tasting flights, which makes it easy to try a variety of brews.

    We arrived about little over an hour before we could check in so we decided to grab something to eat at Maui Brewing, which is the only microbrewery on the Island. This place is located in a small, unassuming strip mall with a Roy's Restaurant located upstairs. We both ordered the Coconut Porter that had hints of chocolate with coconut after-notes. Really good porters in my opinion. The Porters rates about 30 on the international bitterness units scale, which doesn't leave a "bitter face" when compared to some of the IPAs. For an appetizer, we ordered the beer battered Brie with caramelized pineapple sauce, and the Wild Hog pizza with Kalua pork, pineapple, and green onions. Both dishes were absolutely delicious. The pineapple sauce complemented the Brie and baguette bread. The beer battered Brie was nice and creamy after being deep fried in a beer batter - think "fish and chips" golden brown batter. The Kalua pork was juicy and well seasoned. This went well with the pineapple and green onions. Didn't see any Kama'aina there but mainly turistas so don't know if they come during night or weekends. Or this might just be a tourist trap. Overall, I enjoyed the beer and food. I'm a beer person so I'm glad there was at least one microbrewery on the Island. Server seemed frazzled but it wasn't busy at all - so ok on the service. I'd come back.

  • Kat W.

    It was so mediocre. They do offer a beer sampler if you ask, but it ain't show-stopping. Happy hour is $4 taps. We had really apathetic service and there was some bizarre-o girl mingling with all of the tables who wasn't wearing staff apparel but apparently was just hired? She made strange conversation and totally disrupted the dining experience. The brews were unimpressive, and the interior was sterile. Anywhere else would be more interesting.

  • Michael C.

    I'm a fan of the microbrew restaurant, as implemented by places like Gordon Biersch, BJ's, St. Stan's, etc., so I was predisposed to like this place. But, it was only OK. To be fair, we stopped in just to taste beers and have a snack, so I can't review the full menu. The beer battered brie was very good -- the dipping sauce they serve with it was killer -- but they only gave us something like 6 pieces of bread to eat with it. Unless you want to put a cue-ball-sized mound of brie on your slice of bread, you'll end up with much more cheese than bread. The service was only OK. It was the middle of the afternoon and the place was dead, but it still took the waitress 8 minutes to acknowledge our existence. The beer was good, but not great. I would have liked to have sampled a small glass of each and was told by a friend that this was possible. However, of the 8 or so beers they had on tap, they were only offering the small pours of three of them, two of which I had already tasted elsewhere. My daughter, who loves root beer, was eager to try their house-made version. Sadly, it was flat. The spicing was pretty good, but a flat root beer just doesn't taste good. We mentioned this to the waitress, who said she'd ask the bartender about it. She must still be waiting to get an answer from him, because she never told us what he said... or offered to replace it... or offered to take it off the bill. So, the $4 root beer went un-drunk. I'll probably give this place one more try for a full meal. But, so far, I'm not impressed.

    Being a big fan of the Maui Bikini Blonde Lager and looking for new impact for my travel guide I couldn't help but had to visit the Maui Brewing Co in Kahana, Maui. Coming here I was expecting a typical brewing restaurant but was positively surprised ending up in a more or less dark storage hall. The bar is drawing the attention being surrounded by some simple chairs and tables. This is the perfect place to have some awesome beers (e.g. my Bikini Blonde, but also the Czech Pilsener 'Pau Hana Pilsener'), simple but good food, and the most important no chichi!!! If you want to meet locals and down to earth people this is the place to be otherwise you better stay away.

They have a frosted rail on the bar that helps keep your beer cold, that was really cool! And Carl, our beertender, was one of the nicest and most helpful servers we encountered on the island. Worth a 10-minute drive north from Ka'anapali Beach, we really enjoyed this place!

  • Jennifer L.

    Tried out the beer sampler during a super quick stop. They were offering: Mango wheat - a decent wheat Bikini blonde - meh Big swell IPA - waaay too hoppy Coconut porter - Woah coconut; I want to dip macaroons in this one. That's not a good thing with beer I don't think. I ended up ordering a pint of the Mac Nut Brown - it was tasty, I didn't get to finish it though as the airport was calling. The Hawaiian version of the Cuban (with kahlua pork) was fab, and given the Mauiians great love for the seasoned fry, these were the best I had. Sustainable, local, hydroponic, all around touchy feely, environmentally friendly ingredients and practices (they give the leftover beer gunk, grains n stuff, to farmers for feed - Mmm, beer flavored cow) make me a fan. Food is good, beer is good, Maui Brewing Co. is good.

    I had already heard of this brewery and loved their coconut porter thanks to Malt and Vine in Redmond, WA so we had to check it out. We ended up going there two nights on our honeymoon since we're both beer lovers and not big fans of the terrible resort style restaurants on the strip where our hotel is. We had a great time trying out beers that aren't available on the mainland and had some tasty food too. Don't miss out on the doughnuts!

    (5)

  • Julia L.

    I really really want to like this place. The beer they make is, for the most part, top-notch. They have limited availability beers (seasonal and experimental) in addition to a standard 4-5 beer lineup. Every beer I tried was at least interesting and most were very good. The downside is the atmosphere. A cavernous sports-bar like place that is trying to serve gastro-pub food but does so clumsily. Sit at the bar, order a few beers, stick to fries or any other simple side dish and you'll be golden. Also, it's pretty inexcusable that a few of the bartenders can't tell you about the beers. Come on, they work at the bar! A waitress I would understand, but if you're behind the bar you should have tasted all of the beers and be able to talk about them.

    (3)

  • TYJ W.

    This place has your typical pub grub with a buzzy atmosphere when it's busy. If it's not, it will seem a bit dead as the venue itself is quite large. There's a lot of space between tables which is not the norm but appreciated. Beer is great with a really large selection. Note that they also sell t shirts and MBC candles poured into beer cans here which are only $10 vs the $15 or $19 at other stores around the island. Service is ok although it can be difficult to get noticed If it's busy. This wouldn't be my first choice for bar food but I would go back if someone wanted to try it.

  • Chris M.

    My wife and I ate here the first night we were in Maui. I am a big fan of micro brew beers, so this sounded really good to me. I had their house IPA (award winning), wife had a cocktail and we ate the Wild Hog pizza (pork & pineapple). Amazing! Lots of locals here, not at all a touristy restaurant and the service is great.

    Good beer and good food. Great place for an affordable meal with flavor. Will definitely go again while we are here! My husband is not usually a ham andpinapple pizza fan, but i talked him into ordering the pork and pineapple pizza and we both loved it!

    We had our "rehearsal dinner" here when we had our destination wedding with 20 guests in Maui and loved it! I think on our bar tab our 20 guests had ordered at least 15 different kinds of beers! They even gave the 3 groomsmen (including my husband) tshirts when we left. I was skeptical of the food because not all of it was Hawaiian inspired, but it was actually a nice combination of island and bar food. We got jalapeno-cheese bread, onion rings (which were super doughy and delicious!), caesar salad, garlic bread, tortilleni, and kalua pork with rice. We opted out of dessert because it was my sisters birthday and we brought a cupcake cake which they didn't mind hiding for us in the kitchen and bringing out when we asked! I am saddened to be back in Ohio where there is no Maui beer - especially the beer with lilokai and cherries or the Mana Wheat with the Maui Gold Pineapple :(

    I fell in love the MBC when I met the Coconut Porter years ago. It was quite a treat to do the brewery tour and the brewpub. We tried several beers that you can't get anywhere else (their Cream Ale, Chili Ale, etc) and had a hummus appetizer to start. I loved the Veggie Burger - Spent beer grain, brown rice, black beans, zucchini, onion, and roasted garlic patty with lettuce, tomato, and onion on a beer grain roll with a side salad. It was AMAZING!!!

    Great local beer selection. The standard, brewed-all-year draughts are good, but the best stuff in on the right hand side of the board. The black ale was fantastic. My wife had the meatloaf and still talks about it. I had the adult Mac and cheese, also excellent. We split the nachos with black beans, and they get high marks as well.

  • Mitch G.

    We get off the plane, go to Costco to stock up then straight here to have a few beers after the long flight. There is really nothing about this place that I don't like. The beer is amazing as is the selection. They have a cool ice like shelf that goes around the bar so if you want to keep your beer colder then serving temp you can sit your glass on it. I mean how cool is that. That shit should be a law that every state needs. I hate fruit type beers, but the Coconut Porter is out standing. It blows away the same version from Kona Brewing hands down. Great bartenders who will hook you up where to go, Mid-Pacific, for any INK you might be needing while on the Island. They also have very good food, not great but pretty dam decent. We were in the area for a week and we went here six times.

  • Chris C.

    The food was really tasty. In particular the Onion Rings were out of sight, and much better than the breaded style rings your typically get. Also, the brownie was really good. The beer can be hit or miss depending on which one you get, but I would definitely go back.

    ** Note: this is for the Brew Pub in the Kahana Center, not the tasting room/production warehouse hidden behind the Subway. ** This is a great, great bar. I had, in one sitting, every single beer they had on tap, some of them twice. which makes me thankful for the following: 1) Pals that don't drink beer 2) Good beer Luckily, Maui Brew Co had both for me yesterday. The Hot Blond made Rouge's Chipolte brew taste like Taco Bell mild sauce. The Shipwreck'd and Black Pearl we both excellent. While I didn't care for the Bikini, not every beer is suited for 100% of the earth's beer drinkers, so what are you going to do? Some of these other beers we're good in thier own right, but the best place for dark beers on Maui is here. The beer battered sweet onion rings were great, as was the chipolte-tartar sauce they served with it. Happy Hour give's you $4 beers and $1.50 slices of pizza. Not bad, but a little more, like $3 of pupus would be bonus. Also the staff is a blast here. John was a great bartender that was quick with a pour and some good stories to share.

    We went her twice. Once with a group of 10 and it was great! They were able to seat us at a loooong picnic table and everyone was happy. Our server that night was on it/great! We had the adult mac n chest ($19/ouch) nachos ($12/good!) basket of fries ($3/good!) and various other goodies. Kids meals were sliders and they were delicious. We went back for HH a couple days later, sat at the bar and had not so great service. eh. We could take it or leave it. The beer is good/ok and the food is ok.

    Went to this since my husband was so excited to taste the beers...Waited 20 minutes and no one came to take our order...Mind you that it wasn't even busy..Waitresses saw us but completely ignored us so we left...My husband decided to try it one more time of course only he went...I refuse to waste my money on service that is bad...Well on his second attempt he said service was fast but not friendly at ALL...We went to the brewery for the tour and samples and service was really GOOD and VERY FRIENDLY... So if you just want to taste samples go to the brewery instead of the pub. Only thing is there is more beer samples at the pub then at the brewery. Heard that the food ain't all that great here anyways..A local told us the only good thing is the beer as service sucks... Friends are going to Maui and I told them bypass the pub take the brewery tour...This could have ruined my vacation but I decided it wouldn't be worth it...as the rest of MAUI was excellent....

    Went here three times in four days. We sat at the bar, got great service, eat amazing food, tried an impressive amount of their brews. I always asked what the employees recommend and I was never given bad advice. The donuts are heavenly, the pizza is amazing.... I better stop. I might have to fly back just to have more... Try it!

    I wasn't expecting much from the food when we stopped by the Maui Brewing Company (to be perfectly frank, I thought the beer would be good and the food would be good enough). But I was very pleasantly surprised by the food. We shared a BBQ chicken pizza and the Black Rock dip and they were both really tasty. I wouldn't mind going back and trying some of the other items on the menu - like the fish and chips or one of their dishes with kalua pork. We also tried a sampler, plus 2 pints of their beers. I wish more of their beers were available outside the brewery because they were really interesting and some were quite good. My favorite was the Freightrains IPA, but the Mana Wheat (a wheat beer with a hint of Maui pineapple), Coconut Porter and the La Perouse (Belgian-style beer with local tangerine) were all pretty good. The most interesting beer I tried there was the Bangerang, which was a light beer flavored with watermelon and peppercorns. You could really taste the peppercorns. I'm not sure I could finish a whole pint of the Bangerang, but it was super interesting.

    Some seriously awesome beer! My beer snob self is in absolute heaven in this place. Love it! The Maui cattle sliders are the perfect compliment to the euphoria of the experience. Service can be a little slow and the decor is bare bones. But who the f#*k cares! They have a frozen bar top for your beer! I'm calling Homer Simpson and we are heading down there!!

    I really wanted to like Maui Breweing Co., but after our dumbass server Josh dropped a plate on my daughter (bruising her side) because he was juggling it as he was walking towards our table, I just have no love for a place that employs inconsiderate people who can't apologize when they hurt someone...let alone a child. That being said our meal was average at best. Our drinks were never refilled, and he barely came by to offer our check. I think he knew I was pissed at him but here's a thought Josh...try an APOLOGY! If I could give this place zero stars I would.

    So from the reviews it looks like we had the same experience as most, great beer, marginal food, although I seem to be the only one that tried the 3 beer chili which was great. Had a pulled pork slider ( one?) too which when combined with the chili was a perfect meal. This was our second trip, and I will say that the burger I had round one was a hockey puck. Wife had the pork plate this time, pork good, rice/potato salad inedible. Last time she had the wings and loved them. Wait I am seeing a pattern here, stay with the apps and beer, and away from the entries ! Cheers!

    For a girl, dirty blonde was good. For a boy, it tasted like bud light (and guys dont really like bud light I guess?) If you wanna have a chill night and drink with friends, this is the spot to go. They play loud music. TV's set on a surfing channel.. This is a great spot to go to if you don't know where to go at 11pm in maui. And they sell appetizers for those who are hungry. Nothing too special here - definitely wanna go back to try more beers.. If I'm not driving next time..

    The Coconut Porter was tasty but little evidence of coconut. It may just be a name thing. The Stout was indistinguishable from the porter. Our onion rings were overly breaded. The chiken ceasar salad was ordinary and bland. I would return here for the beer as Hawaii does not have the same selection of dark brews that I love in Oregon but I would not return for the food.

  • Christopher P.

    Great beer and good pizza. Laid back atmosphere for a lunch. Can't vouch for what the nightlife is like but judging from the frost ledge on the bar and the loose table spacing, I'd guess standing room drinking.

    Had a Kalua pig slider and onion rings at Maui Brewing. Awesome! Just the right size for lunch--when you want to eat dinner! Love the IPA and the ice ledge on the bar.

    Very eclectic beers on-tap, at the Brewpub. Get a growler, if you like beer. Get a Hydro-flask if you LOVE beer...especially cold beer on the beach.

    I was looking forward to coming a brewery for dinner, but was disappointed with the service. I came with my family (party of seven). It took a ridiculously long time to get our drinks, and when our server forgot a straw she seemed over it when I asked her for one. I was a little indecisive about what I wanted, so I apologized and told her I would order when she came around again. It was maybe 20 minutes from that point that she came back. Then 35 or so minutes after (my family) ordered food, it arrived, although it was brought by a food runner. And they have a runner on the beer station as well. Runners are fine, but they were so much better and friendly than our server was. So we only saw her face maybe 4 times and also as a blur as she ran past us. She didn't check on us for drink refills, check to see how the food was & assumed that we were done as she snatched plates away. (Good thing we were done though.) My brother likes the beer, which is why we came here. This server seemed like she knew (because we are a party over 6) that her tip was guaranteed at least 18% and didn't care if we were treated well or not. As a past server, I always treat my big tables as if I wasn't guaranteed a tip, and was often pleasantly surprised with tips over the 18%, but she has the opposite philosophy. Maybe this was just a bad one time experience, but this place sucks! Brother says the beers were good, the hot wings suck, wedge salad, fish and chips, and burgers were decent. I don't recommend this place at all! Definitely better places to eat and support the locals than this place. Unless you come only for the beers.

    Went there again and it was great! We literally got off the plane and drove here to chill while waiting to check in to our hotel. My husband noted that they started using better bread for the Cuban. They had different beers this time, we asked the bartender and she mentioned they cycle the beers based on availability of ingredients and hops. This is why they have the chalkboard instead of a solid menu... there's always something new and great to try!

  • Hip C.

    Was in Maui and heres my thoughts. The Coconut Porter is awesome. Well worth the trip. The Onion Soup was very good...not a disappointment. The Chili Fries were OK...didnt detect a lot of beef/meat but passable. Downside-The kids mac and cheese and I know this sounds silly but had no seasoning. It was literally just macaroni. They also dont have little plastic cups with lids for the tykes so every time jr took a drink I was worried he was going to spill it. One other item I found a bit of a head scratcher-Why was this building made with no windows to view the ocean or the sunset? I know its in kind of a strip mall but its got these huge high walls that would have made for a great view would it not? Not all horrible, but I could see how some would see it like that. Had this place been in So Cal 2 stars for sure but by Maui standards its a 3.

    Okay, so this review is mostly about the food. The beer is fine, but if you're going to go for it and open a restaurant, you should develop some half decent food. Otherwise, just stick to the brewery side. The look of the restaurant is typical of the brewery concept- exposed beams, vaulted ceilings, and one giant seating space that creates some very awkward tables sitting out in the middle of the room, feeling very exposed. We started with the wedge salad, which was actually pretty good, and the reason for the two stars. Blue cheese, fresh lettuce, decent dressing. Unfortunately the meal only went downhill from there. Our entrees arrived- meatloaf for me, and ravioli for my boyfriend. I have a somewhat embarrassing love for meatloaf, and I was excited to dig into some comfort food. No such luck. It had a very strange flavor, not a bad-meat kind of flavor, but some kind of spice that I couldn't place and didn't like at all. It pretty much took over the meatloaf. The crust on the loaf was hard and inside it was almost crumbly... not what I look for in a meatloaf. Then I looked up at my boyfriend, who had a very strange look on his face. I asked what was wrong and he said that his ravioli tasted like they were made with Crest toothpaste. I rolled my eyes and took a bite and indeed, there was a decidedly Crest-like essence to the filling. It was supposed to have goat cheese in the filling and I am used to the tanginess of goat cheese, but this was not the usual flavor. I have no idea what they have mixed in that filling, but we were not fans. All in all, I was glad I enjoyed my salad because it's about all I ate, and my boyfriends ravioli a la Crest was left almost untouched. Service was fine, but maybe they should stick to beer...

    As a huge fan of MBC Coconut Porter I was excited to visit. The experience was disappointing. First, it's a brew pub. One would expect to be able to, at the very least, purchase sample sizes of the various brews. The only items available as samples were the 3 already available in cans. The food? Eh. My burger was unremarkable and costly. The staff was poorly informed and other than helpful. Interested in MBC beers? Try the tasting room in Lahaina or buy the Coconut Porter thru BevMo.com .

    I thought it was a little strange to find a brewpub in a strip mall, but that's where this place was. The restaurant is very wide open, almost with like a warehouse type feel. We sat ourselves for lunch and both myself and my wife had salads. I had some sort of BBQ chicken salad that was pretty good. It wasn't anything out of this world, but it was pretty good. My wife enjoyed hers, too. We also got an order of the onion rings which were good and the jalapeno cheese bread. I thought the jalapeno cheese bread was the best thing we had. Lots of jalapenos and lots of cheese. It was something very different and also very good. As far as the beers go, I drank a lot of them while I was in Maui as other restaurants and different tours serve them. They were pretty good. I really liked the Bikini Blonde Lager and had a lot of it. All in all, a pretty good place.

    This review is for the Brew Pub in Kahana not the brewery that doesn't have a restaurant in LaHaina. Read reviews that said the food was horrible, couldn't DISAGREE more. Great service, clean and open modern/industrial environment. Great, very clever blend of full flavored beers and excellent service from our bartender Johnny. Highly recommending it to my parents who are going out in 2 weeks! Don't miss it! Johnny said they overhauled the menu about 1.5 yrs ago and got a new main chef. It's phenomenal! Don't miss the coconut porter, big swell IPA, and bikini blonde. Chop chop salad was excellent with hydroponic greens. Sliders were great, esp the Hawaiian. Onion rings were kinda flavorless on their own but great with the accompanying dipping sauce and proceeds go to Humane Society. Wings were great but quite spicy, if you get buffalo style that is. ENJOY!

    Don't be turned off by the location in a little strip mall north of Kaanapali. I stopped in with my new wife for a couple of beers and a snack. The updated inside has that urban/industrial/warehouse look that belies the pub's location. Service was friendly, but when isn't it on the islands? I was impressed with the selection. Beyond the ubiquitous Coconut Porter and lighter beers for the tourists, they probably had about 15 beers on tap, including a stout and a tasty double IPA. You can get samplers of various sizes, depending on how many beers you want to try. In addition to their own stuff, there were three guest taps: Chimay, SN Harvest and SN 30th Anniv Helles Bock. The nachos were very good and way too big for the two of us to finish. There are plenty of tables but we sat at the bar, which allowed us to keep our glasses cold on the frosty sheet of ice around the bar. There are numerous TVs, which is unusual for places in Maui. Definitely stop by if you're north of Lahaina.

    I travel regularly around the country and stop in at every brew pub I can find. No, I'm not a drunk I just believe the local brew pub can tell you a great deal about the local culture. With that said, Maui Brewing Company (MBC) was very good. Clean atmosphere ( a bit sterile) and friendly service. Tried the Wild Hog, Coconut Porter and Bikini Blonde. I'd drink all 3 again. Didn't have any of their food but it smelled good. If you're visiting Maui (or live in Maui) and you like beer the MBC is definitely worth checking out.

    I'm an official beer snob hop head and this place serves up a wealth of fine ales that can compete with any west coast brewery. What a pleasure to have beer and food of this quality in hot sunny windy Maui! We tried a flight of stronger ales to start. The coconut porter really has a unique coconut finish that is really nice. The Scotch style ales were well done with decent body. Being a hop head I was looking forward to the Freight Train IPA and oh did it deliver... Dare I say it is on par with Pliny the Elder for sure, a very similar style that I assume is derived hop extracts.. Bravo! The food was also very good. I had the Cuban sandwich with home made BBQ sauce and the wife had their Goat cheese stuffed tortellini while the kid had a nice sized pepperoni pizza. All in all a fantastic experience that will make me look forward to more trips to Maui!

    Putting Maui and Brewing together should be completely fantastic, but I find their beers a little boring and unexciting. Even the triples seem forced. Don't just force a high alcohol with the extra sugar, go for the balance and compare to the Belgian triples. It shouldn't just be crazy strong. It should be balanced and crazy tasty too. Let them age a bit too. The sugars mellow. That hurt me a little just to type that. But honesty is important to these reviews. It only makes you stronger. The food is passing, but not any reason to return. Why can't a brew pub make great food too, so my wife will go for the food and I'll go for the bevs? Cool idea to play full concerts on DVDs on the sound system and the TVs. The Big Swell IPA is too over hopped, like most Northern California IPAs. I know I know it's an IPA, but you don't need to knock me over with the bitter. How about a little balance? With much aloha, I wish your business great success with a few improvements.

    We found this place the other evening when we were searching for something different to eat. The service was good, but I was unimpressed with the value. A grilled cheese sandwich was $12 and substituting a salad for fries was an additional $4. I did not try the beer. Perhaps their beer is worth the trip, but I probably won't return. As I said, the service was good, but the value would not bring me back. I'm basing my review on the value of the food.

    Great beer! Try the Mac Nut Brown. Note that they charge for samples, not something I expect at a Brewery. To eat, I had the Gouda Mac-n-cheese, and can recommend, though it's a bit pricey at $20.

    This is a great place to dine if you want to try some local beers and eat some unique bar food. The goat cheese tortellini is so rich and creamy...my wife wished there was more! The buffalo chicken sandwich was delicious and so flavorful! We tried the coconut porter....this is a fantastic dark beer that I highly recommend! Service was very good and we will definitively be back the next time we are in Maui.

  • Kelli R.

    Let's be clear: this is a brewprub. Not a restaurant. They have food, and the nachos are grand (nice use of black beans. skip the guacamole, add extra jalapenos.) But the atmosphere and focus is beer. Down to the fantastic snow/ice lined bar for you to rest your brews on.

    I've sampled Bikini Blonde, Big Swell IPA and Coconut Porter - all were tasty, but since I'm not big into beer I usually get the Root Beer. Yum, I wish I was drinking one now. Food was average, although the chili cheese fries were better that norm. We have never had to wait for a table, not sure if that's good or bad....

  • Steve S.

    The ales here are fairly good, not bad but, far from excellent. The freight train IPA, however, is very good. If you love ales that are stinking of hops, this is the one. We are from San Diego so, we know a few things about good craft beers and ales. The food is probably the worst pub food that we have ever eaten, anywhere. I had the seafood (huh?) sandwich, which was obviously a pre-formed patty of mystery meat, which had zero taste and was cooked to death on a grille, having a rubber-like texture. My wife's BBQ chicken salad was also lackluster, swimming in dressing and had little flavor at all, other than the ocean of dressing. The chicken pieces were sparse and were just cubes of a frozen chicken patty. Not a whole lot of thought went into their menu, as there is not a whole lot of variety. It is simply quick and dirty menu items, made from prepackaged frozen wholesale food distributors.. Staff was just okay, not overly friendly but, far from unfriendly either. Come for the ale and skip the food, which is what I will do next time I visit Maui. We really wanted to like this place, as the owners of MBC are originally from our town of Poway, CA. A total revamp of the menu selections and food preparation would make this place great.

  • Nick F.

    Once again the reviews on yelp were right here. We read that the food wasn't that good but the beers were great. This is 100% accurate. We decided to sit at the bar and check out the scene before eating. We had the beer sampler and the beers were all great. However, afete sitting there and watching the food come out of the kitchen we were glad we didn't eat here and just finished our beers and left. That being said its definitely worth a trip to try the beers as both of us drank their beers for the rest of the trip.

    I like to find local breweries whenever I am on vacation, and I was excited to find this pub while I was in Maui. The food is great, with lots of local products incorporated in the menu. My wife had freshly made tortellini filled with goat cheese produced on Maui. I had fresh Mahi Mahi fish and chips, which were slightly greasy, but that is to be expected. We shared an appitizer of beer battered and fried brie cheese, served with french bread and a tropical pineapple sauce/salsa. It was very tasty, but a little expensive at $9 for what is essentially a deep fried slice of cheese. On to the most important part: BEER! I am a huge fan of beer, especially micro-brews. The Maui brewing company has two breweries on Maui, one in the restaurant, and a larger facility in Lahaina. There were at least a dozen beers on tap when I was there, so I had a lot to choose from. You can sample beers in a large shot glass for about $1-$2 each. There is usually a special sampler set you can order that included 4 beers at a lower price. I ended up drinking a porter seasoned with toasted coconut. It was amazing, and I am still craving it. The prices are a little high, but it is Maui after all. The servers were friendly and helpful.

    Fun lunch place (but youll need a nap afterwards!) Ate here twice for lunch and enjoyed more than our share of a few of their beers. We had pizza, their hamburger, fish & chips, onion rings, and a pork sandwich. All was OUTSTANDING - espec the pizza- except the fish and chips and onion rings- (WAY too much batter). Get a pizza (huge to share between 2 people) and some beer and enjoy!

    Visited the Maui Brewing company while on vacation to watch Sunday morning football. They open early during football season and have a breakfast menu....9 TV's at least and they let the crowd vote as to which games they want on which TV. Good food, excellent beer. Try their Coconut Porter.....it will not disappoint. I usually hate dark beer, but this was possibly the best beer I have ever had. They sell a sampler of their 4 best beers for $4..this is how I discovered the Coconut Porter. Great service, fun atmosphere, good food. What else would you need in a good pub?

    After reading some of the reviews here, my expectations were lowered. Fortunately, my expectations were met and exceeded. As I wasn't expecting an ocean view, I wasn't disappointed. I was surprised by the quality of the beer. Definitely better than Kona Brewing Co. in my opinion. Had their sampler selection then a full pint of the Coconut Porter. Very tasty. The local plate was very good and my son's child-sized mac & cheese was a winner. Enough for two meals for him. Our server was VERY friendly (Go Tigers!) and did a great job for us. Would have given 5 stars is they would have had a souvenir pint glass for me to buy. They were out at the time.
