Kona Brewing Company

Kona Brewing Hawaii is a brewery and pub headquartered in Kailua-Kona on Hawaii's Big Island with a sister location in Hawai‘i Kai on O‘ahu. Formerly owned by Craft Brew Alliance, Kona is now owned by PV Brewing Partners since September 2020. The state-of-the-art brewery on Hawai‘i Island produces approximately 10 styles of beer that are brewed on a regular basis and served only to the local Hawai‘i market at Kona Brewing Hawaii’s locally-operated pubs in Kailua-Kona and Hawai‘i Kai, along with restaurants all over the islands. Kona Brewing Company is the state’s longest-running craft brewery. Since its founding in 1994 by father-and-son duo Cameron and Spoon Healy, Kona Brewing Company has grown into a nationally recognized beer brand. In 2020, Kona Brewing Hawaii was established as an independent brewery, separate from the mainland's Anheuser-Busch operation, with the mission to brew fresh, local craft beers exclusively for Hawaii. Located down the road from the original Kona brewery and brewpub, the new brewery has an annual capacity of 100,000 barrels and includes a canning line. This 30,000-square foot brewery is one of the most sustainable breweries in the world, generating and storing solar energy on site, recovering CO₂ from its own fermentation process, and recovering and purifying process water for brewery cleaning and irrigation.
