    Hawaii Standard Time Brewing, or HST, is a nod to Hawaii's daylight savings free time zone. This brewery was a passion project for over a decade for two friends, and that love shows in everything from the space to the beers they brew. On Kress Street just off Rice Street in Lihue, it's easy to find with lots of town parking all around. The building has garage doors on all sides, so when open you get to enjoy the fresh island air and plenty of sunshine. They also have cozy lighting at night. Despite being brand new, it already has a well developed feel with many beer styles on tap including all the classics like a pils, IPAs, hazies, and dark beers. They also have seltzers, bubbly teas, and non-alcoholic beverages. The horizontal fermenters are the centerpiece behind the wood bar; they gleam and catch the eye. To the back left is their main brewing area, which has plenty of space to expand and can which is coming soon. A merchandise area and future to-go beer fridge are to the left. Seating is either at the bar or one of many tables around. The layout is great for small groups or even large group events. You're welcome to bring in your own food, and there are a ton of local takeout options within walking distance. I tried every beer on tap, and can honestly say they're already making high quality styles. This is a great spot and I can easily see them making beer on Kauai for a long time coming. Cheers to local beer!

    Flight of beer

    We were on our way to grab coffee but 180'd to beer instead. Found HST on our way back to our hotel a day before their grand opening. The owners Paul & Skylar were fabulous. We both got flights and then a round of our favorites. Relaxing, great atmosphere, and everyone was coming in to drop off gifts. A true testament of the culture they have built here! Definitely stop by! Our favs were sharkbite & lil'koi sour!

    Voggy Daze. The only real proper hazy IPA on island

    Voggy hazy IPA all day. This is the only place on island where you can find an actual Hazy IPA on island with the right color, mouthfeel, taste and aroma. This should be the standard. I may be biased, but this delivers. This can keep up with the big boys in the mainland.

    We tried the hibisco disco and Lil'koi sour. Both were delicious! Everyone here was kind and made the experience even better. Definitely worth the try if you're visiting the area! :)

    Managed to sneak in a visit during their soft opener. Sampled 75% of their tapls and everything was solid. After a bunch of tasters I went for a full pour of the Galactic Haze. Delicious! The space is bright and comfortable and the staff are friendly and knowledgeable. I wish them every success.

    Awesome owners, cute place, super friendly and informative and had great recommendations around the island. Tried the flight, the rice later and various ipa's were awesome. Got to try the new chocolate port, and it was delicious. So glad we got to try this new spot.

    Their menu on 4-16-26!

There's two levels, you choose- if you want like Rib Eye, more of a dinner, top level- if you are looking for just the bar and appetizers- bottom level. This is where the entrance to the beach is easily and you can see the beautiful beach scenery from any spot. The food was amazingly good, came out quick as did our drinks! The waiter was top notch, great recommendations, we did not need a reservation, but if it gets busy I would assume it would be ideal. 10/10 recommend if you want to have a nice dinner or brunch, it would be a nice place for a special occasion also! They had a great singer when we were there last night, we will be back!

They had free valet parking , just leave a tip. Friendly and helpful staff. Great views. We were seated at the area closest to the beach so fantastic view and lovely outside breeze. Our server was really nice and fast service. I got the prime rib and it was a perfect size and cooked to what I asked. I loved it. Great food and location. Always a great place to come for lunch or dinner. I totally recommend this place for good food and service.

When the time came, we went up to their patio and they called in each party. Our host was amazing. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. Kept us engaged with light humor.

Did I mention it's a complementary tasting? 10/10

It's located at the beautiful Kilohana Plantation, so even if you're not a big rum drinker, it's worth visiting. You can wander through the gardens, stop by the sweet shop, grab a bite at Gaylord's Restaurant, or catch the luau. It's just a really nice place to spend an afternoon. It's highly recommend making a reservation online. However we couldn't book online, but we called about an hour before and were able to get in. I also had no idea the tasting itself was complimentary, which made the experience even better. Our Rumtender, Randy, was awesome! He walked us through the history of Kōloa Rum, explained each variety, and shared his favorite ways to enjoy them. It felt more like chatting with a friend than sitting through a tasting. Safe to say we were convinced--we ended up bringing home two bottles! Whether you're a rum fan or just looking for something fun and different to do in Kauai, I'd definitely recommend adding this to your itinerary.

No reservation and we were seated right away inside. They have both inside and outside tables. Inside there were about 7 or eight tables in various configurations.

Wow it was strong and I loved it. Nice job Amanda. My wife got the fish and chips which were good. She got three pieces of fish. The fries were good , not too fried. I like them more crispy. They seemed to be made in house which is a plus I got the Kalua pork sandwich. Good flavor and I liked it. We had a great time at this place. Good service and the food wasn't bad.
