Hilo Brewing Company

Really chill place to grab a beer and some nachos. Got their sampler and every single beer was really good, covering a variety of styles. Great prices, and staff was really friendly and nice to chat with. Really recommend!

Great customer service, knowledgeable about beers, relaxing vibe.Enjoyed the flight of beers. My favorite is the Hilo golden ale, all had a great flavor. The only thing on the down side was limited T-shirts and merchandise available.

One word Awesome!! This place is fantastic!! The owner and head brewmaster was a delight to talk to! The tasting room is fantastic and the two beers I had were delicious!! This place is as good as any Portland brewery I've been to!! Mahalo!

A pretty good local brewery. The Hilo Golden is perhaps the best golden ale I’ve had, it’s really crisp and refreshing. The Mauna Kea Pale is fairly good too. Their IPAs and porters are meh. Prices are ok, and they have a bunch of merch and to-go cans available. Service is good. They don’t serve food, but there seems to usually be some food vendor set up in their warehouse area. The main reason for the lowered rating is that I was only able to visit them on my third attempt. My successful visit was on Friday, but I previously tried to stop by during the business hours on Wednesday and Thursday, only to be met by locked gates with no explanations for the closure. You guys have social media…use it! @Gerry Lowe bruh, could you be more vague? What do you mean by “the 4 major breweries on the Big Island”? There are 5 breweries…my best guess is that you skipped Wailuku Brew Works and Big Island Brewhaus and are instead counting both the Hilo and Kona locations of Ola Brew. Which would explain a lot, since the White Mountain Porter from Big Island Brewhaus is without a doubt the best local porter available year round.

Cool vibe and Great beer. Daniel working the bar was making all feel welcome. Bonus - street tacos were being served. Will Def come here again.

Fun brewery. A little on the messy/cluttered side. Beers were all good but I do not recommend the current pumpkin seasonal.. tastes a little like cloves got dumped into coors light. The rest of the beers were good and the price not bad either for the flight. Staff was pretty friendly. Had to try it at least once.

Small brewery in Hilo. One of only two in this town. Bartender was super nice as were the locals! At the time I visited, I believe there were 7 beers on tap, 3 which were ipa's. No hazy ipa's though. I would say the beer was decent, but nothing really stood out.

Daniel is fab and so loved the Pale Ale and second round we did a Southern Cross! Great brewery and recommend a visit.

Best kept secret in town - Hilo Brewing. A local favorite. We loved the Red and their porter. But lots of flavors to try. Running at 25% capacity while distribution is figured out. Stop by often as everything sells out fast. Even faster if you want a T-Shirt or cap. 0:25

Instant love a first sight, felt the HBC Aloha spirit, welcoming everyone as “There are no strangers here; Only friends you haven't yet met”, starting from two lovely dogs chilling at cushioned bed, a great spread of charcuterie prepared by Daugher who is a professional cater, yummy six beers flight sampler, my favorite Hilo Golden Ale. Suggestion to brewery: how about add some island fruit sour beers?
