Aloha beer has a great atmosphere and great beer. I sampled the Farmhouse, the Carport, the Queen Bitter, and the Vog. Eqch is a quality representation of a particular brewing style, and are tasty to boot. There are three seating areas, one outside at street level , one inside, and one upstairs (not always available). I didn't sample the food on this outing, so I can't speak to its quality. The only issue I had with Aloha Beer is that you have to go to the bar to place your order.

Food was pretty good, friendly staff, off street parking was a definite bonus! My only recommendation is to expand the beverage choices to those who may not drink alcohol?
But I won't take a star away for that, considering it is a Brewing Co.

I really enjoyed my flight of four beers at the bar while waiting for my sandwich to go. I liked the chill, hometown sort of feel at the joint and friendly staff. The brisket bahn-mi was delightful and travelled well back home in the waxed cardboard box.

We stopped by here at about 10:00 on a Saturday. We could easily find seating in their indoor & outdoor area. The bartender was great & the the flight we had was perfect for us. Prices are average for the area. The only reason I couldn't give it 5 stars was because the music was way too loud. It would have been a nice layed back atmosphere, but the music made it hard to carry a conversation.

For delicious beers, stop here! Opens up at 4. Grab a seat at the bar, drink and listen to the soundtrack or grab some food! Really enjoying the Gimme Black Pils an easy drinking German Black Lager.

I had the most delicious cocktail, called "Santa Poco", which is made from Mezcal, spicy chili vodka, and a beet shrub. It was a wonderfully spicy-sweet-smoky-savory flavor. Complex flavor, but smooth, well-balanced and harmonious.

The food was very very good. The pizza was extraordinary along with the wings. The base and the crust was very crunchy and tasty. The crust could just be eaten on its own. The wings were very good too and the portion sizes were nice. I would recommend going here to anyone.

Beer here is pretty good. My friends were visiting and wanted to hit the breweries in the area. They were tickled by all the merchandise they could get as souvenirs. So much better than a pineapple shaped trinket.

Great atmosphere and great beer. A small, cozy place with extremely friendly service. The taproom in the back is neat, and they have plenty of merchandise that has a great style to it. Flights were great and not too expensive. Will definitely be back!

Service is SUPER fast. You order at the register inside. My flight was ready before i had paid, & my food arrived not even 5 min after i returned from the restroom (which i ordered with my flight)

Great indoor and outdoor space. Dog friendly and kid friendly. Valet is up the ramp and validated by the bartender. Wifi is available as well, just ask! Great atmosphere, laid back, but can still be a great date spot. Gigantic Aloha is a good one to try. Get it while it's there as it's limited!

It's always a pleasure to visit. The quality and range of beer availble is impressive, and the Red Zeppelin IPA is exceptional. Staff members are warm and personable. The setting is intimate yet spacious, with an air-conditioned indoor area and a covered outdoor area.

Such a cool little spot that serves up great beer. It's awesome to go in the back where the bathrooms are and see all the brewery equipment. It let's you know that the beers you are ordering out front are super fresh and being brewed right on the premises. I have yet to have a bad beer here and I will need to come back more often so I can cross more of their delicious offerings off my list. I've posted a few photos of my last couple of beers.

Had an hour to "kill" so I came here again today. Only the second time. Excellent beer. Free valet parking (I tipped though). A little pricey, but I've shifted to quality over quantity, so it was worth it. Red Zeppelin. Outdoor or indoor seating. Also there's a speakeasy upstairs.

Beer is awesome. Shishito peppers have always been one of my favorite appetizers, but some how they managed to make them very bland. Bonito flakes and shaved ricotta sounded good on top, but there was no flavor from either. All the IPAs are phenomenal though. The meatballs were pretty good, but I'd say overall come for the beer and go elsewhere for food.

Excellent brewery with a medium sized tap room and a good amount of outdoor seating. Ten beers on tap, all well executed in a variety of styles. Taster sized pours and full sized available, and while I was there they had a Tuesday promotion with 20oz pours in addition to 16 with a souvenir glass. Food truck located in the brewery offering some great looking food as well. Worth visiting.

This would be a five star establishment if they had table service. The beer is excellent and there's also pretty decent food to go with the drinks. My favorite is the pork board - succulent grilled slices of pork with toast, cheese and bacon dip and dijon mustord. Of course there's the upstairs speakeasy that does have wait service - same menu in a more upscale setting. The speak easy isn't always open though so call to check before you head over. Valet parking on the rooftop makes this place easy to get to by car. One of Kaka ako's several cool places to enjoy good brews in a relaxed atmosphere.

Cool place to hang out after work. Decent food and good beers. There's no table service unless you sit upstairs at the speak easy. Decor is sparse and utilitarian with inside and outside seating. Not great but pretty good.

Great Beer and good food. I found the place very chaotic on the weekends as it is super popular but packed. On the week night, perfect environment to relax and be with friends. The design is fun, with and inside and outside area. They have a permanent food truck as a kitchen and you go up to the bar to order food and drinks. The staff works hard to clear plates and glasses and answer questions. I understand there will be a whiskey bar opening above the pub soon and I look forward to seeing that.

Loved their beer and food! Super friendly and attentive bartenders that make you feel welcome. Great food selection geared to enhance your beer choices. Lots of great swag to choose from as well. Would absolutely go back here anytime!

ordered a beer at the bar and decided to sit at a table. we had an guy with Aloha serve us. when we were about to sit at a table a blonde lady raised her voice at us to leave a card if we were going to sit at a table 3 feet away. she wasn't even waiting on us at the bar. huh ? so its ok to order at the bar and not leave a card but all the sudden 3 feet away at a table inside causes concern about trust? if the guy had said something maybe I'm not as bothered. but the lady showed us little trust and no aloha. And then she yelled at us "I can cash you out now". the inside area is small and every one heard her. embarrassing ! 1 star and no return to the place. Go to Wahoos where there is more Aloha and better pint prices.

Really impressed with the beer. Wasn't a fan of any of the IPAs but the Same Same Pale Ale was outstanding, as were the Gose, Berliner Weisse, and Hefe (Jefe) Weisse. Food was outstanding and quite plentiful portions. Some amazing cocktails as well.

Decent beer and good, upbeat atmosphere. Valet parking that is validated by the brewery is a definite plus. They're food menu is pretty upscale, but all items look great. There can be a wait to play e an order, but overall, it's pretty quick to place your order and get your beer. Lots of seating indoors and outdoors.

Aloha Beer Company quickly became one of my favorite hangouts in Kakaako shortly after they opened in this Queen Street location. I am particularly fond of their Waimanalo Farmhouse Beer. I was also pleased to learn that they offer a Tuesday special in which you can purchase a 20 oz glass of beer for about ten dollars. If you bring the glass back, you can purchase more beers for about 7 dollars.

In addition, at the time of this writing, Aloha Beer is serving a brew done in collaboration with Gigantic Brewing! I should also note that the ambiance of Aloha Beer is superb. It s pretty mellow and most importantly clean and updated. Finally, the food selection while a little small is of great quality.

Great place! Excellent beer, food and cocktails!

Great place! Excellent beer, food and cocktails!
The beer selection is fantastic. Unlike other breweries who have jumped excessively all over the IPA trend, Aloha Beer Co has a wide selection of other types of beer. Yes, they have IPAs but for folks who don't like, or always want an IPA, this is a great choice because there are so many different kinds to choose from! Almost too many to taste so we just went back to try the rest that we didn't try on previous visits.
The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. We had a great time!

Nice place with modern decor. Staff are friendly and helpful. Good range of beers. Had a beer flight of the blond, Jefe, red zeppelin and porter. Tasters are 2.50-3.00 a pop.

WiFi is available. Ask for the password at the bar.

Red zeppelin was my favorite.

The food menu here also looked pretty good although a bit pricy. I didn t try anything coz I just had dinner before coming.

Will try this place again.

This is my favorite brewery on island, with a nice open patio. Their beers are great and have good food. This last time we got pizza it came out a little burnt on the crust. We didn't say anything but the server noticed and comped it, offering us other options.

Only complaint is i hope they return to their full menu soon. Bring back the falafel wrap!

Two people had 8 kinds of beer at the taster. Each beer had a feature well and I enjoyed it. As there are meat dishes such as salad, steak, we are all right at meal. The meatballs with tomato sauce were delicious.

Went by here for the second time this week, ended up here rather. Gets and average of 3 based on the 5 star and 0 star experiences, with a little benefit of the doubt for an extra half point.

Started walking to get some cheap swill at that Japanese market I hadn't been to that has the $1 beers and realized it closed at 10... Whoops. Decided to swing in here since it'd been fun with my wife earlier in the week and was closer than hotel. Mistake there, clearly the bartender decided I must be there to hit on her. Got stonewalled, angry slamdown of check, the works. Only crappy treatment I've gotten here, I dunno, maybe next time wait until someone actually hits on you before you assume they're looking to cheat on their beatiful and awesome spouse.

And yeah, for you locals this place is obviously a 5 if you like beers and aren't trying to cheat on your spouse with a bartender. I'm sure you'll get some benefit of the doubt, at least.

Excellent spot for any drink but the food truck kitchen is beyond all comparison. Falafel or cheesesteak? Pickles or kimchee? That food selection with a glorious tap wall sits inside a steampunk brewery only Honolulu could create.
