Kona Life

We love how our beer brings people together, but can't deny the fact that living and working in Hawaii is a very special thing. It is our kuleana (responsibility) to respect the environment and appreciate those who also make sustainability a focus. We support those who help our communities during trying times. This is a place for all of that. It's about the people, places and groups who make Hawaii what it is. It's a place to showcase our friends and how Kona Brewing Hawaii connects with our communities here. And, yep, sometimes it's about beer too.

Hope You Stocked Up

The brewers at the Kona Brewery have adjusted their work-life hours. They are still cranking out crisp, refreshing Big Wave Golden Ale, but it's always a good idea to stock up just in case!
