Kona Brewing Company introduced Pacific Golden Ale (now called Big Wave Golden Ale) and Fire Rock Pale Ale to Hawaii in bottles and kegs on February 14, 1995. Longboard Island Lager was added three years later. Approximately 10 other styles of beer are brewed on a regular basis and served at Kona Brewing Company’s pubs with a select few being served at some finer restaurants and markets.

Wicked Weed
Wicked Weed was imagined, created, and brought to life by the Dickinsons and the Guthys; two families that have been lifelong friends, each bringing a unique skill to the collective ownership team.
Upon opening their original brewpub location in 2012, Wicked Weed was known for pushing the envelope in craft by offering 25 unique draft beers including West Coast-style IPAs, barrel-aged sour ales, and more. Follow them on Facebook!
Sweet Water Brewing
Freddy Bensch and Kevin McNerney discovered that they had more of a hankering for beer rather than books. Turning that passion into a reality, the duo broke into the biz by washing kegs on the loading dock of a local brewery in exchange for free beer.
During an Atlanta visit in 1996, Freddy discovered that the city, and the Southeast, were dry of such aggressive, hoppy brews, and knew that he and McNerney were just the guys to introduce the unpasteurized crafted ales they had been brewing for years.
