Beer Lab Hawaii

Top choice in Honolulu


Three nuclear engineers working at Pearl Harbor, who were also beer geeks, opened this brewpub, where they brought a mad-scientist ethos to the beer. The ever-changing tap list easily has Hawaii's most experimental brews – they try all sorts of things with hops, flavorings, malts and techniques. You're welcome to bring in your own food.

Two more locations have now opened.
