Brewery in Planning: Waikiki Brewing Company

Waikiki, home of sun, surf, dream vacations and soon Oahu’s next brewery. Connected to a popular restaurant, Waikiki Brewing Company plans to brew classic American pub beers for both tourists and locals. The brewpub will feature a long bar that will allow visitors to view directly into the brewery and watch head brewer Joe Lorenzen. Along with a sizable outdoor patio that faces Ala Moana Boulevard, Lorenzen hopes to create an intimate space that allows customers to see the brewing process and interact with the brewers.

I recently caught up with Lorenzen at the brewery which is still under construction. Once the floors are leveled, the brewery will be install, walls painted and bar constructed. Lorenzen hopes to brew test batches on the new system by November and open to the public by early 2015.

Where will Waikiki Brewing Company be located?
Waikiki Brewing Company will be situated at the corner of Ala Moana and Kalakaua, right at the gateway to Waikiki. Our address is 1945 Kalakaua Av
