Best Craft Beer > Honolulu Beerworks (Oahu)




Craft beer is just hitting the scene in Oahu. There are just a handful of local breweries (3 to date) that have popped out over the island over the past year. This one, Honolulu Beerworks, in Kaka'ako has done it right. They choose a good location (given the upcoming gentrified lofts), chose a modern-rustic open-air ambiance (which fits the local+urban scape well), created an appealing logo and brand, and most importantly they have good craft beer! 

Here are the beers I tried. Number 4 was my personal favorite. 


Of all the craft breweries on Oahu this is the most appealing for men and women and for locals and tourists alike--though I like that the crowd here is mainly locals. (I'll be posting on the other two craft breweries soon).

Side Street Inn Take-Out Box (Oahu)


Where even the styrofoam (save the earth folks!) take out boxes picture Diamond Head and say Aloha!


What's inside that box? Ono char siu, lop chong, and bacon fried rice from good ole Side Street Inn. (see previous blog post on Side Street.) And the left overs are just as good the next day.
