Maui Brewing Cans

I’d never thought of Hawaii as a beer destination and I was surprised to find that Hawaii has some really excellent craft beer.  I am going to Hawaii soon (when your Dad offers you free accommodation and you find cheap flights, you go!) and might have to make some detours to a few of the local breweries.  The BeerAdvocate BeerFly directory for Hawaii will guide me on my quest to find deliciously fresh craft beer in Hawaii.  Me, sea turtles, beer…heaven.

Cheers,

Chris
