UPDATE 0714: Improved food menu and now open for lunch. I enjoyed a Makakilo Brown as a prelude to a tasty Italian Hoagie, chips and beer pickle paired with a Rye Not?. Unfortunately mid-day parking is a real adventure.
Entry is between two barrel racks into an L-shaped room with a good size bar and mostly picnic table seating. There is a roll up door on the front wall that,when it's open, gives folks sitting at a tall counter an open view to the street as well as a left side patio with more picnic table seating. There are some interesting murals here including one that might depict the Swiss Family Robinson Brewery. The actual brewery area is down the right side of the L, at the back of the building. When I visited, the chalk board indicated 11 on the dozen taps were flowing with a nice array of styles for such a young brewery. I enjoyed both the Rye Not? pale as well as the Maunalua Bay DIPA (part of a continuing "Double Overhead" series of strong brews). The food menu is relatively short, offering mostly appetizers with only a couple items that could be considered dinner. We did enjoy the pork tacos and the stout glazed mixed beer nuts were great. Parking is mostly on the street which can be difficult at times but it is just a half block from Ala Moana Blvd so TheBus stops nearby.
