Brewery Profile

Waikiki Brewing Company, South Side

On Maui’s south side, this outpost gives Wailea-Makena visitors a craft beer stop within a resort-heavy coastal area better known for beaches, sunset dinners, and relaxed evening plans. Walk in expecting a taproom built around Waikiki Brewing Company’s beers rather than a production tour or a detailed origin story. The known draw is straightforward: award-winning craft brews served in a social Hawaiian setting, with lagers and IPAs among the styles visitors can look for. It works as a casual gathering place before or after time along the shoreline, with an atmosphere that fits the slower pace of South Maui without requiring a formal dining agenda.

Travelers in Wailea-Makena often look for drinks that suit warm weather and an easy schedule: something crisp after a beach day, hop-forward options for IPA drinkers, and food that feels connected to the islands. This stop fits that pattern by pairing its beer lineup with island fare and a setting that encourages lingering as the light changes toward sunset. It is not necessary to arrive with deep beer knowledge; the appeal is in having a local craft option that feels accessible to resort guests, day-trippers, and anyone exploring beyond the beach path.

For planning purposes, treat the taproom as the best source for the day’s details. Current pours, food availability, seating arrangements, hours, and any special releases or events should be confirmed directly before you go, since those specifics are not fixed in the available information. Visitors interested in lagers or IPAs will have the clearest starting point, while others can ask staff what is fresh or popular that day. Build in enough time to enjoy the setting rather than rushing through, especially if you are timing the visit around the evening glow that Wailea-Makena is known for.

Catch the sunset glow in Wailea-Makena while sipping on award-winning craft brews from Waikiki Brewing Company's South Side outpost. This isn't just a taproom; it's a vibrant Hawaiian gathering spot where meticulously crafted lagers and IPAs pair perfectly with island fare and the laid-back Maui lifestyle. Experience the spirit of aloha, one exceptional pint at a time.
