.....reinforced. Great food, and great beer right at the source. What more could a man ask for? Merchandise selection is good too.

My wife and I needed to kill some time due to a flight delay. We decided to stop in for a brew. The bar was hopping and the food looked terrific...while we did not have time to dine, Lavaman is a terrific red ale. The other food items looked delicious...maybe next trip we can give them a try. It is... More

We ate at Kona Brewing Company & Brewery twice during our stay in the area. The food was good (I had the Imu Pork Sandwich and the Quesadilla). During our first visit our server was outstanding, I forget her name but she deserves a raise and a promotion! What we loved the most about this place was the beer! Wow!... More

Like the beer, food, service, tee shirts and casual atmosphere. Did not like the wait in a parking lot.

The Kona Brewing Company was one of our best night's out while we were on the BIg Island. We were treated to Aloha Hospitality by the KBC team. We ordered Hot Wings, one of the chicken pizza's, tomato salad, dip and bread - this was more than enough for the 4 of us and everything was full of flavour. The... More

I just discovered this! In front of Kona Brew is a "Growler Shack" where you can buy 64 oz jugs of fresh Kona Brew varieties to take home. Just take the growlers back for refills, and you can treat friends to tap fresh beer in your condo timeshare the whole time you are in Kona! While it seems kinda spendy... More

We had a wonderful experience here. There is no ocean view and its in the middle of an industrial area but they create a tropical ambiance, much like Disneyland creates their environment. The staff is friendly and the food is good. You can even tour the brewery at certain times of the day.

My husband and I try to visit breweries wherever we travel. Kona Brewery's beers were all enjoyable, the food and service were fine...I didn't realize that there was a brewery tour, or we definitely would have tried that!

We took the tour. Very short, but to a beer fan like me, I wouldn't miss it. Plus it felt great to walk into the refrigerated storage room. We sampled four beer after the tour, then ate in the restaurant and had another beer. We also visited one more time on our way to the airport. Very attractive outdoor seating... More

My family (2 kids) and I loved Kona Brewing Co. The pizza, beers, and dessert were all terrific. Our server was great, too! We went at 5:00 and did not experience a wait. We left at 7:00 and there was a wait at that point. Classic brew place! Would go back!
