The full list of participating breweries and food vendors has been announced for the Maui Brewers Festival, which will be held again on Saturday, May 18th at the Maui Arts and Culture Center.
The popular “Beer & Food” event, held at MACC's A&B Amphitheater and Yokouchi Pavilion, will feature more than 75 craft beers from Hawaii and mainland breweries. Among them are many unusual beers and a wide variety of beers. We offer mouth-watering cuisine from many of Maui's best chefs, caterers, and other food vendors. Maui entertainer Eric Gilliom will perform and serve as MC.
This year's event will feature 30 breweries, including 12 from Hawaii. Each beer has been carefully selected for its commitment to craft beer production with an emphasis on quality, flavor, and locally sourced ingredients. Several breweries will offer tastings of rare beers during the event's “Beer Enthusiasts” tasting period from 2:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.
