    Lowdown Lager Beer 16floz Draft $4.00 HH (04/25/26). @MuchoAlohaBrewhouse @OldKoloa #Koloa #Kauai #Hawaii #CraftBeer #Beer
    Jeff B.

    (Dine/Drank 04/25/26 SA @ 2:00pm): There was mucho brewing at this house of aloha! My second and final brewery experience on this short trip to Kaua'i was at Mucho Aloha Brewhouse. The idea of Mucho Aloha Brewhouse came about during a backyard BBQ in Seal Beach, CA that made its way across the Pacific Ocean and landed on the island of Kaua'i. As a tribute to celebrating among family and friends with great beer and food, a welcoming gathering place was created for everyone to come together and share stories. Would I find much aloha at this brewhouse!? PURCHASE(S) Mucho Aloha Brewhouse Lowdown Lager Beer 2.7% ABV 16floz Draft ($4.00 HH): Bright amber color, dank malty aroma, light body, dank malty sweet watery flavor, crisp finish, and dank malty aftertaste. Way too light and watery for me. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=120&select=ao_00rfkLvpprP7tqtocKw 4pc Loco Wings Hot ($12.00 HH): At $3.00/ea, these were small, had minimal meat, and weren't as hot as I'd hoped. They had a nice crisp but that was it. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=120&select=vWzbIQjk8kj7OPNVi3Gm9Q 3pc Grilled Fish Tacos & Tortilla Chips ($26.00): The fish portion was nice but a bit dry and I should've had this beer-battered instead, while the chopped red cabbage was plentiful but needed some flavor. The tortilla chips and salsa were fine. I was very disappointed, especially at nearly $9.00/taco. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=120&select=RywnYkqzivVoxLrTGNhFqQ Mucho Aloha Brewhouse Pineapple Xpress Hazy IPA Beer 6.0% ABV 16floz Draft ($10.00): Bright hazy amber color, fruity pineapple tropical aroma, light body, fruity hoppy pineapple flavor, smooth finish, and hoppy pineapple tropical aftertaste. This was tasty! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=120&select=yS3FrT5LrTw6R_ih5fxiew Stickers ($2.00 x2): I loved stickers and would commonly place them on walls of other breweries. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=120&select=Y-278vH82cxUx30kRbplVA Souvenir Grey Logo T-Shirt M ($35.00): I certainly didn't need another t-shirt! However, I really liked the graphic - damn marketing! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=120&select=AnyPNLfj7DdHn7bu28d_Gw Service Charge 3.0% ($2.73): More businesses did this to try and offset costs. SERVICE Warmly greeted by a friendly female and male behind the bar, I took a moment to browse the beer and food menu, then shortly ordered, my beer was ready immediately, I was given a table number, and I found a place out on the patio. Minutes later, a young man delivered my food. There was a self-serve water station outside next to the trash station where you dumped your trays and such. It was all chill - mahalo! PARKING (Varied; N/A this instance): I took the bus, so this wasn't an issue for me. Otherwise, there appeared to be some onsite parking with spots along the main drag of Koloa Rd. and other side streets - 'nuff said.

OVERALL I would consider visiting Mucho Aloha Brewhouse again just to try more of their beers for a better sense since I absolutely didn't like one but loved another. They had only 10 beers https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=120&select=Zew6wCI-Rs8kV7253Y56tQ on tap, the food https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=120&select=IwK6jloTkDRzbn6oZiJJfA wasn't happening for me, the prices were elevated (especially the food), and the service was good. Furry family members were allowed outside! Daily happy hour specials (2pm-5pm) and almost certain nightly entertainment such as trivia, music, and more was available. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $98.00 BEFORE any discounts, points usage, and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 4.0 STARS

    While definitely on the pricey side (especially as Californians) these were top notch tacos. Especially the grilled tacos. Service was great. I had the banana stout and was really surprised. I expected it to be sickly sweet but it wasn't! Had a lovely mostly banana with slight chocolate flavor that really worked with a stout. It's strong so a 5oz pour was perfect for me. Outside seating made it perfect. Highly recommend.

    As a brewery fan, I knew I had to finally visit this spot having met the brewer Ben and tried their beer at various festivals. Thanks to a friend while visiting Kauai recently, he brought us here and we had the best time. The place is in Old Koloa Village, with a cozy open vibe, lots of windows, plus plenty of outdoor seating if you're visiting on a sunny day. The interior has a utilitarian feel, with a big bar, ordering area, and the brewhouse visible behind. They have a nice merch section to the right. Restrooms are shared with the complex outside. Ben showed us a fantastic time. We tried every beer on tap, and talked about each one as we went. He also was a fan of their smash burgers, and had us one of each made to try and share during our visit. It was great going down this guided tasting with a guy that's clearly proud of his work and beer. They have a bunch of different styles on a tap at any time, with light ones to very dark, and all the flavors you could want in between. The anniversary imperial stout was my favorite on this visit. If you're a beer fan on Kauai, this is a must-visit and can be added to Kauai Island Brewing's new taproom nearby. Cheers to great local beer!

    Band playing

    I'm not a beer drinker but my husband is and he enjoyed their selections. We got here for happy hour, but unfortunately the flights don't count for happy hour, only certain beers. They also have a limited food selection. We came here on a Friday night when they had a local band playing. The band was great and was a pleasant surprise since it wasn't something that we were planning on.

    Enjoying a patio beer, Pineapple XPress "Hazy"
    Erica W.

    Visited MAB twice on our recent visit to Kauai. Fun place to hang out and have a few beers. Taplist was decent, with multiple style options. (lagers, IPAs, Pale, wee heavy). Since my go to beer style is hazy IPAs, I ordered the Pineapple Xpress Hazy IPA (6% abv). Although it tasted like a hazy, look-wise, I wouldn't have considered this to be a hazy. But regardless, it was the best beer I had on the island. They offer 2 options; a sample or a pint. I do think they should offer a half pour or schooner option. (A little more than a tiny sampler glass). But all things considered, it's a fun spot. Great vibe. Lots of outdoor seating. Great location! Lots of shops nearby to walk to after a beer or 2! Kōloa town is so cute!!

    Shrimp tacos
    Natalee C.

    This is a reliable spot for a good meal. Since food options can be fairly limited around Kōloa, this was a good find (and we came back twice while staying in the area). The beer is good, there's a good selection. As any brewery, I wouldn't recommend the cocktails (from my experience ordering a margarita one time - wasn't my fav). That said, the food is actually pretty good. The shrimp tacos are great, fish tacos delicious (not a ton of fish on them but that seems consistent to everywhere). The taco salad was probably the overall favorite we had here, it's fresh and really good. The smash burger is average, probably wouldn't have that again but it's not bad either. This is a cute area and overall vibe - the nice thing too is they're open a bit later. The service is decently quick and overall good! I'd come back the next time I'm on Kauai if I'm in Kōloa area!

    Marcus F.

    Very casual and accommodating to groups needing larger tables and needing to eat right away. - It's an order at the bar restaurant. - Solid Mexican food and beer. - If you love tortilla chips this is your place. Every dish seems to include a pile of chips.

    Looking for a chill brewery to relax outside and grab some bites we found mucho aloha as a new spot to try. There was an extensive list of beer choices many with tropical inspiration. We dropped in on a Thursday which also had a margarita special for $13. We ordered fish tacos and the burger and grabbed a seat. The beer was solid but the margarita was one of the worst I have had in a while, an overly sour mix it didn't taste fresh at all. Our food came out pretty quickly. The fish tacos were very small and didn't have a lot of fish but had a tasty crema sauce. The burger was honestly really delicious with the sauce and spicy jalapeno topping, it was by far the highlight of the meal. Food cost in the area is generally high but $80 the portions felt exceptionally

    Great beer, fun atmosphere with lots of casual seating, and food options if you're hungry! Try the "pickle mango" sour it is fun!

    Yahaira G.

    Drinks, service and overall vibe was great! we really enjoyed stopping by! We had 2 beers and the chips and dip appetizer. All reasonably priced

    Mucholada
    John S.

    Must try. Koloa town is a fun place to visit and has grown quite a bit just over the last few years. This brewhouse is located in a cool spot back from the road and has a lot of seating and a super chill vibe. You order at the bar and service is fast and friendly. The drinks and food are both great. The fish burrito was tasty and fresh. I have to spotlight the Mucholada. It is their version of a michelada and it's one of the best if not the best I've ever had. The michelada mix paired with the house blend of spices on the rim was 10/10. Add in the live music and it should be on your list when visiting the majestic south shore. There are 5 more places within a 2 minute walk you have to try, so make sure to visit Koloa town. There is plenty of parking so don't just pass through his town on your way down to poipu.

    Omg!!! Best brew house I've been to on the island. They had a really good stout. I loved to outdoor seating area. We had a pup for a day from humane society and he loved it too!! He loved it too. The place was hopping and service was still spot on!!

    Catherine B.

    Loved this stop after shopping in the stores near by. Cute setting, good beers on tap. Our group had smash burgers and fish tacos. Fish tacos were very, very good both Baja & grilled. Smash burger was ok. Service was good, girl behind counter was new so was not familiar with beers.

My first dining experience on this short trip was at Kaua'i Island Brewing Co. The oldest cumulative brewery on Kaua'i at 23 years, it held the distinction as the world's westernmost brewery on the island of Kaua'i based on where the International Dateline crossed American Samoa.

    Service alone gives this place a top score. Our server Chris is what I would call a true salesmen…read more A genuinely good guy who is easy to talk to, can ease tensions and make you feel like ohana. Food is pretty good, with a SUPRSING Keiki Mac and Cheese that my God Daughter ordered, that I ended up eating most of because she fell asleep. This wasn't no Kraft blue box! I ordered the Calamari and it was delicious. Great appetizers. All the beers we ordered were great, and Chris will explain to you everything you need to know about them. If you're a sour guy, the Calamansi Sour was tops. Sooooooo amazing! To top it off...best Mai Tai's I've had... and yes, I'm taking into account the famous ones from this Island. Pizzas were good, on-par with decent pub pizza. My only reservation with this place is the nickel and diming of sauces etc. $1 for Tartar sauce and ranch to me sounds a bit nit-picky when you consider the sheer size of our bill. Loved that they kept the place going for us a little past closing. We immediately knew they were waiting for us when the music shut off for closing when we stepped outside. BTW, plenty of outdoor seating. Only a few seats inside. You may wait a bit if you want to stay inside. Will 10000% be back.
