Their signature has to hold across very different styles — which makes the notes that do recur more telling, not less.

About Kona Brewing Hawaii

Kona Brewing Hawaii is the original Kona brewery in Kailua-Kona on Hawaii's Big Island, founded in 1994 by Cameron Healy and his son Spoon Khalsa. Since 2020 it has been separate from Anheuser-Busch, owned by PV Brewing Partners and brewing only for the Hawaiian market. The Kona beers sold on the mainland come from a different company. In 2021 production moved into a new brewery with its own canning line down the street from the first pub. Pubs in Kailua-Kona and Hawaii Kai on Oahu complete the business.
