Kona Brewery Tour

[Hogladyrider]

We took our first cruise to Hawaii this winter via HAL.

 

We prefer low key and on our own.  It was not easy researching what to do but we managed great.

 

We booked the Kona Brewery Tour via their website and it did not disappoint.  We picked the 1st tour of the day which was around noonish.  We got there early.  It is walkable from the port, uphill about a mile, but we opted for an Uber, about $6 plus tip.

 

If you are a beer drinker this tour is a must.  It is amazing the sustainability they have built into this new brewery.  The tour is limited so it is not crowded.  The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable about all kinds of beer.

 

We were provided with 4 tastings, included in the tour price and a chance to shop.  We would not hesitate to recommend this tour or to do the tour again if we visit Kona.

 

We were also able to put some souvenirs right at the port pier at the local ABC store.  Reminder prices in Hawaii are high.  We felt that $25 for this brewery tour was a bargain!

 

The brewery also has a restaurant where we had  lunch, the pizza and salad was fresh and the beer was ice cold
