    Pepperoni rolls are amazing. You can get food to go if you don't want to wait forever for a table.

    Pizza is fantastic... Will be back. Cross your fingers and pray that you get waitress Valerie- she totally makes up for the hour wait.

    Enjoy a brew & learn how Kona’s reclamation system controls the air conditioner for water heating, and collects more than 90 gal. of condensation per day used for landscaping irrigation.

    Came for a quick beer. Didn’t eat. Good stop. No tours but I don’t need to see big metal tins. Give me beer.

    Fun place to grab some lunch. Super touristy, but what would you expect? Try the beer sampler and get some styles that aren't for sale anywhere else

    Beef sandwich with au jus sauce best. Guacamole and chips not so great. Had spicey over ripe flavor with green onions and tomatoes in it. Chips bit hard. Fish tacos okay, fish lacked seasoning

    Ahi tuna poke is, without question, the best dish on the menu. Amazing and CHEAP!!!

    The shrimp melt was great! Also, try the pepperoni pizza rolls as an appetizer. So good!

    The hummus plate is spectacular, especially the accompaniments. The eggplant lasagna entree is a nice creative alternative to the pizza

    Go for the beers and atmosphere. Food is fine but...not as good as the beers and atmosphere!

    Great Pizza and Beer. Get here just as the tourists are enjoying the sunset to avoid the long wait. Sit outside and enjoy the weather.

    Get here early for the tours. 2 a day, only 15 people. Consider coming early, signing up, get some stuff done and return later.

    If you think you don't like hummas, Youve never had the "Brewpubs" hummas appetizer.If You love hummas, you gotta try it at the "Brewpub". It's RAGS German Auto's top pick

    Pizza is fine. Beer is more or less the same as what’s mass-distributed (only a few brewpub exclusives, and not very different).

    Awesome place, but the blonde (really blonde) bartender has a serious attitude problem, and seemed bothered when we asked her for simple things. Maybe she should find a new place to work...

    Overly touristy, beers aren’t great or worth the trip alone. Expect a wait for mediocre food and beer, but don’t go out of the way to visit.

    Always a wait. Go inside and grab open seating in the bar. Save yourself an hour.

    Find a coupon in travel books (try amaro car rental) for free garlic twist when you border the samplers.

    Busy place in the evenings but not long waits unless there is live music. Get a beer at the bar and sit outside to share the Aloha.

    Pepperoni Alii pizza. Buy a growler of your favorite brew at the beginning of your trip. Fills and refills 20% off 5-7p.

    Server recommended "ghetto American red" is a blend of the Devyno IPA and Lavaman Red. Pretty tasty!

    Seems as if a lot of locals hang out at the bar in the afternoon. A good sign. Also, the beer is fucking delicious.

    Delicious gingerade! Too bad there are tons of flies outside. And the Mauna Loa salad is underwhelming. I should have gotten one of the awesome looking sandwiches.

    Most brews are available on the main land but there's something special about visiting the pub itself.
