Maui Brewing is leading efforts for wildfire relief
- Earlier this week a fire ripped through the town of Lahaina on Maui. The losses were devastating, a nearly total loss of the entire city. Maui Brewing is leading the initiative for relief efforts through direct contributions, sharing resources, and starting the Kokua Project for a collaborative brew inspired by Sierra Nevada’s Resilience project. Follow the links below for more info on ways you can support these efforts.
- TS Restaurants Legacy of Aloha – which will help the affected employees and their families
- Makai Foundation – which will support rebuilding efforts
- Maui Brewing Fire Fund – which will raise funds to deal with additional needs on the ground.
And if you’re a brewery and you would like to sign up to participate in the Kokua Project, you can find out more on the Maui Brewing website.

What’s the price for a case of beer in your state?
Beer prices across the country vary greatly. Taxes, shipping, and other silliness can all impact cost. A survey from Alcohol Delivered shares the average cost of a case of macro brews across the US.
Take a trip to Treehouse for nine holes and a hazy
Breweries are always trying to come up with new ways to attract guests. For Treehouse brewing, that’s opening a location with a 9-hole golf course. The move isn’t unprecedented, Strange Duck Brewing here in Georgia has a (mini) golf course on site as well. FORRRE!
Ocean aging alcohol never seems to work out
A winery in California recently had the authorities step in and put a stop to their underwater aging efforts. The FDA said the wine was adulterated and not fit for human consumption. This reminds us of a story from a few years ago when a brewery tried aging a barrel of their beer on the ocean floor. The end result? The barrel of beer was stolen. Bummer.
