Latest reviews from Kailua

“A block from Grace in Growlers, this is a more modern tasting room with 10 taps, 4 of which were from Lanikai and the rest being guest taps. Small pours (4 oz) available by the single and serviced in nice big snifters -- proper glassware; thank you. Very friendly service. Solid beers for the most part, including a nice old school WC IIPA. Worth a stop if you're up here; otherwise, you can probably stick with the Honolulu location.“

“This is a self-pour place! Grab a bracelet, get a cup, pour your own beer -- tickers' paradise. They only have about a dozen taps, but you can get a bunch of cheap ticks. Plus they have a bottle shop next door with some interesting things to go. If you're nearby, definitely check this cool place out.“

“Convenient location to a great beach, Maui brewing, lani Kai brewing, and Manoa Chocolate. Typical Whole Foods selection: lots of 4packs, and a few singles, some Belgian. I didn’t buy anything, which tells me how I feel overall.“

“Right near Lanikai Brewing, which was unfortunately closed when i arrived. A nice selection as well as a growler bar. Growler glass is ridiculously priced at $10 for a 32 oz, but the beer is priced reasonably. Better than the Honolulu Whole Foods, comparable to most mainland ones.“

“About a block from Whole Foods with its own small parking lot. Beers arr crammed in everywhere, a bit haphazard. Basic stuff only, including common local stuff. Better prices than WF, of course.“

“Large place just two blocks from Lanikai Brewery. And since the brewery has no parking, you could park here and walk. Selection is very solid, and they have a smsll bar with a dozen taps and a handful of tanles. Nothing exciting, but worth a look if you’re going to Lanikai.“

“Large place, well organized. Beer section runs the length of the store. Had some foreign stuff (Mikkeller etc) that I had not seen elsewhere. Sake selection is small bug interesting. Worthile stop.“

“The best beer selection on the whole island (out of the top 9 ratebeer shops I’ve visited on Oahu). Huge import selection with a lot of high quality belgian brews and the biggest selection of craft beers from the main land (Dechutes, Rogue, Belchin Beaver, Widmer brothers, Iron fist, Mission, Clown Shoes, Ommegang) They also have some rareties not found other places. Asked for the "beer guy" for some help and he was really helpful. I even managed to find BA Rasputin and Bourbon County Brand Stout. lots of parking right in front of the store.“

“Found this place on my way to the beach. Had a standard selection of easy drinkable lagers and ipa’s that you would drink on the beach. They offered me a brown paper bag so clearly they aim for the public beach-drinkers. All beers was refigerated.“

“One of the best stores on the Island (visited 9 other bottle shops while on vacation). Some rare bottles and limited releases. Very similar selection as the Tamura’s in Honolulu but the staff here seemed more knowledgable and helpful. They even helped me finding those hidden treats in the back of the shelfes. The store is located in a shopping centre so there is free parking right outside the door. . Lot of Belgium and Japanese beers, and a good selection of Rogue. Most beers are not refigerated.“

“A typical WFM layout with an above-average selection for this specialty grocery chain. We stopped here to get some crystallized ginger for nausea and I ended up leaving with a cart full of beer! Some nice unexpected selections not seen elsewhere (Iron Fist, GI Lolita, Nogne Ø).“

“Best place to buy beer on the three islands we visited (Oahu, Hawaii, Kauai). Lots of imports in addition o a loud local line up. Delicious poke is a bonus! Solid service.“

“Went in on a whim and walked out with a hair of the dog adam, sea monster stout, and an ’10 cantillon fou’foune (!!). Prices on par with san diego. If you want good beer in oahu, go here.“

“Regular shady looking liquor store with an decent craft/import selection. Service was ok as was the selection. Prices were a bit high. We could walk to this place from where we were staying but I would drive the 5 minutes and go to Tamura’s in Kailua.“

“By far the best beer related place on Oahu, IMO. Nice, clean, well organized place right next to a Safeway. Excellent service from someone that knew all about the in stock beers from trying them. The best selection I found on the Island of Local beer, Micros, Imports, and some surprising West Coast breweries (Ballast Point, Iron Fist, ect). They have a to-go Poke counter that is excellent. Value is great for the Island, $2-$6 cheaper than the The Liquor Collection in Honolulu (example, Mikkeller Bourbon Beer Geek $22 @ Liquor Collection, $16 @ Tamura’s). Overall a terrific place and can’t believe it wasn’t in the database, had to find it from Beerfly, but fixed that.“
