This has been an active summer for the Hawai‘i Nui Brewing Ohana.
Today we’re happy to announce a new product, Tsunami IPA.
We’ve won more awards.
We’ve got new offerings in the tasting room.
We have made it easier for you to find our hand-crafted ales and lagers in more bars and restaurants. And we have expanded our distribution with our valued partners at Paradise Beverages.
New Product, Tsunami IPA
Hawai‘i Nui Brewing Tsunami IPA is here! It is a big IPA. A very big IPA. One taste and we believe you’ll agree that Tsunami IPA is the biggest swell in the Hawaiian Islands.
The first kegs went out on August 15 to selected establishments.
On the Big Island of Hawai‘i, you will be able to sample Hawai‘i Nui Brewing Tsunami IPA on draught at Big Island Brewhaus & Tako Taco Taqueria in Waimea, at Café Pesto in Kawaihae and in Hilo, and at the Hilo Burger Joint.
On Oahu, Murphy’s Bar and Grill, Bar 35 and The Varsity Grill & Bar in Honolulu are expecting to tap in Tsunami IPA.
In early September we will have a limited quantity of Tsunami IPA on hand at the brewery and tasting room. Since these are the early days for Tsunami IPA, our emphasis will be on tasting.
More Awards for Hawai‘i Nui and Mehana
This past spring, we were stoked to announce that Hawai‘i Nui Brewing Hapa Brown Ale was honored with a Silver Medal in the American Brown Ale category at the World Beer Cup 2010.
This summer, Hapa has gone on to win a national gold medal. Hawai‘i Nui Brewing Hapa Brown Ale won the Gold Medal in the American Brown Ale category at the U.S. Beer Open.
And that’s not all on the award scene.
We’re very pleased to report that Mehana Brewing Mauna Kea Pale Ale has been honored with a Silver Medal in the American Pale Ale category at the U.S. Beer Open.
