Kona Brewing Company was started in the spring of 1994 by a father and son team that had a dream to create fresh, local island brews made with spirit, passion and quality. It is a Hawaii-born and Hawaii-based craft brewery that prides itself on brewing the freshest beer of exceptional quality, close to market to minimize its carbon footprint. The company is headquartered where it began, in Kailua-Kona on Hawaii’s Big Island.
