Kona Brewing Company was founded by a father and son team Cameron Healy and Spoon Khalsa.  The pair had a vision to reflect the spirit, culture, and beauty of Hawaii in a collection of local island craft beers, so in 1994 they set out for a Big Island to bring their dream to life.

Flash forward to today, Kona Brewing has become one of the widely popular craft beers brands in the world.  That being said, we’ve managed to stay true to our Hawaiian roots through innovation, sustainability and community outreach.  And we’re still headquartered where it all began, in Kailua-Kona on Hawaii’s Big Island.

The original Kona Brewery is still alive and well in Kailua-Kona!  The new Kona Brewery is in the final stages of construction.  There are two restaurant locations.  The original brewpub in Kailua-Kona right next to our brewery, and another on the island of Oahu.  You’ll find delicious food, fresh Kona beer and our aloha spirit.
