The Beer Nerd - what are you drinking / brewing thread

Some vacation beers. Gotta find some good stuff to drink on Maui

 

Reminds me that I need to stop off at Lanikai Brewing and pick up some freshies to stock up the rental when we land.

 

Aloha


Maui Coconut Porter
Go to Brewery sample
They also have sometimes DIPA

Ps Foodland...Poke

 

Went there last night before dinner. And the night before. They’ve got a good lychee sour on right now. Check out grace in growlers while you’re there. It’s a “pour your own” place. Nothing amazing on tap but not bad. If you’re gonna be in town, go to Beerlab HI - by far my favorite on island. Honolulu beer works is also solid. Aloha brewing is good too, and Waikiki brewing kinda sucks. They also opened a Maui brewing in Waikiki but we didn’t go

 

Theres a foodland a few miles from where I'm staying in Lahaina I'll have to go check it out. I'll stop by the brewery too! Love me some good DIPA's

 

We usually hit up Brew'd or the now closed Real A Gastropub even though we hate going into the Waikiki area. But nice to know there is another option in Kailua now besides Whole Foods. Wifey loves the cauliflower nachos at Whole Goods and the bikini shop next door so that is mandatory stop anyway lol. We'll be on Maui the first part of the trip so prob hit up Maui Brewing there.

Staying right between Haleiwa and Waimea bay this time around so prob only be down that way one day

 

Mahalo

Yes ... grab lots of Poke crackers and bubbles maybe. My woman does not drink much brew Foodland has fair selection of beers
Head to Napili beach call it all good Hang lose. Mai Tais and sunset .. at hotel open window bar on beach

 

Whole Foods bar is closed down currently. They’re renovating. My friend works there I think she said they have a small kegerator with only sculpin and longboard.

Beerlab is not in Waikiki, it’s right below UH campus. If you’re down there I highly recommend you go there. If you need bottles, check out Tamuras, and also be sure to get their poke it’s some of the best on island. (I used to live here for 5 years)

 

Maybe we'll check out beerlab instead of Brew'd this time. Bummer about Whole Foods wifey gonna be pissed. Ours is being renovated too but they never had a full kitchen so she could never get her favorite dish here.

 

Sorry I should rephrase. Their bar is closed. The Whole Foods itself is open.

 

Honey made me do
Very good ...sorry does Have carbonation
Gruet tasting Sante Fe NM

 

Thanks bro I'm pretty new to poke but I imagine Hawaii is a great place to have it haha.

 

We also just took our double IPA recipe (We call it "Pet The Monkey" LMAO) and changed the hop schedule to New England style. Looking pretty friggen good right now, kegged next week.

 

Finally found great beer

Second Street Brewery.

 

Wow I like this a lot. Stayed safe with this selection but if their other beers are as good as this I'm looking forward to going to the brewery.

 

Yes go to Brewery you are very close to

 

cool idea for local beer friends ....

Buy a beer for friend. You know he will be in a some point....

Cheers

Opps or she

 

9-11

We enjoy because some others paid a price

Cheers to all

Live life be nice

Toast a beer and be silent for a few fallen

 

The mana wheat or whatever it’s called is good. If they have any bottles or cans from Honolulu beer works or lanikai brewing try those. All good choices while on island. You can get Maui brewing cans back in California though
