Ola Brew operates a production brewery, cidery, and taproom in Hawaii County that specializes in beer and cider made with island-grown ingredients. The company has built a 14,000 sq ft production facility with a full canning and production line and a current brew capacity of over 12,000 barrels per year; production to date is just over 3,000 barrels. Ola Brew distributes statewide through a partnership with Paradise Beverage and has landed nearly 250 retail accounts including Whole Foods, Safeway, Costco, and CVS. Future plans in the articles include adding an onsite restaurant, launching additional retail products (Maʻa Lager and Kona Gold Pineapple Cider), and planning/designing a satellite location in Honolulu. The company follows a triple-bottom-line approach, emphasizing local agricultural purchasing (over $1.2M in local agriculture sourced since inception) and intends to increase local fruit purchases (they reported purchasing over $60,000 last year and plan to double that).
