Hey r/beer, I'm looking for recommendations for breweries in Oahu, Hawaii. Staying in Waikiki for a week and may have some time to visit a brewery or two. Anything with a signature beer, good food, and doesn't have a problem with a kiddo (10yo) accompanying us is what we're looking for.

I did search on this subreddit and found recs for Hana Koa, from almost a year ago. Other related posts were older than that, so I'm requesting for updated info. Any other breweries on Oahu worth checking out?

Growing up in the late 80's and early 90's, Labatt Blue was everywhere, at least here in Canada. Commercials, advertising all over professional and amateur baseball/hockey stadiums. It was the house brand at many bars. It was the first beer I ever drank.

I can't recall the last time I saw a Blue commercial. Must be almost 25 years or more. It's even fallen down the list of the most popular domestic beers. It's nothing fancy, but it's refreshing and extremely pallette friendly, budget friendly. One of the best "go-to" beers.

What gives?

Edit: I should add, it's available everywhere near me. I just never see it advertised, nobody seems to buy it or talk about it.

I should begin by saying I’m really not much of a beer drinker, but the past few months I’ve been experimenting more. My favorite beer for years has been Hoegaarden. But I recently decided to try some other wheat beers. I’ve been drinking mostly German wheats and my two favorites have been Weihenstephaner and Franziskaner. I immediately liked both of these and have basically been drinking them exclusively. When they ran out, I took a Hoegaarden out of the fridge. But, when I took my first sip it felt like someone had sprayed hairspray in my mouth.

What happened?

As I typed that name out, I realize I should’ve paid better attention to it.

Thankfully I didn’t purchase these, rather my brother brought them over after seeing the 9.5% ABV lol. Honesty that’s the only reason I’ve kept them around…

But seriously, they taste like boiled gummy bears with 4Loko added. Incredibly sweet, unfortunately thick, and unsettlingly boozy. Please never buy these. Or do, and see for yourself :)

Due to distributor problems or brewery going under….

I Miss Trout Slayer. We used to get it in Texas. It was my go to. Moose Drool was pretty great too!

Being from Wisconsin where we have such a massive beer and brewing history, I’ve always favored in-state breweries. But lately I’ve been branching out a bit… I bought a six pack of Edmund Fitzgerald and Elliot Ness and man, they are both outstanding beers. I’m a fan of darker beers and Edmund Fitzgerald has gotta be the best porter I’ve tried. I’ve gotta hand it to you, Ohio. You’ve got a nice brewery there.

Update: I think I may have found it. I believe the beer in question is the Natty Rush Blue Frostbite. Thank you all for the suggestions!

My husbands grandpa recently passed away. A memory my husband keeps bringing up is the first time he ever cracked a beer with his grandpa. He was 18 at the time and all he remembers is his parents figuring out my husband had been drinking due to his blue tongue. My husband thought that it was natty daddy’s but after some light research, it doesn’t appear that those would turn your tongue blue. I’m hoping to surprise my husband with some when we go home for his grandpas funeral service. If it’s any help, this was in western Michigan that these beers were originally consumed. TIA!!

Are they still making Murphy's Stout? I checked with my local giant liquor store, and they said it came up "discontinued," but I don't know if they discontinued the beer or their distributor discontinued carrying it.

I'm from California and went to school in Washington. Rogue has been a staple of microbrewery innovation in the last 20 years.

I've been to the farm in Independence, OR. It was one of the most unique brewery experiences I've ever had. They used to have a fantastic tasting room in San Francisco. Their tasting room in Newport, OR was great as well.

Now? I can't even find some of their most basic, widely distributed beers. Their website also appears to be offline.

How could one of the best breweries on the west coast have seemingly disappeared? Any insights or news articles would be great.

Can someone explain why Extra Stout gets so little props and attention compared to Draught (specifically in the US)?

ES tastes way better - I am shocked at how good it is for what's technically macro. It's ridiculously complex and the perfect balance of roast, bitter, and sweet. I even think it's better than most local craft stouts/porters its ABV range, at a far lower price. Draught honestly tastes so damn watery to me.

A 6-pack of ES bottles and 4-pack of cans costs exactly the same at Total Wine ($7.99) but the ES has 10% more beer. And ES ABV is higher so you don't need to drink as much, leading to further cost savings. But yet the ABV is low enough that I can still drink 4 over an afternoon/evening.

So what is the reason ES is so unpopular relative to Draught? Is it the fact that Americans value quantity and neutral flavors? Marketing? Is the nitro the dealbreaker?

Personally I'm a big fan of clean, yeast-forward Belgian style beers but it's not hard to see that US breweries who specialize in these styles have been struggling in recent years. Is it just that IPAs and to a lesser extent lagers have become the style of choice in the USA? Does it have to do with the Belgian yeast character being an acquired taste? Perhaps the higher abv and price simply make these special occasion beers.

To go a bit deeper on this question we recently hosted Quinn Bartlett, a young brewer who launched a brewery in Columbus, Ohio that specialized in Belgian-style beers - Buzzsaw Brewing. Unfortunately, Buzzsaw closed last fall, but Quinn is now brewing at a soon to be opened local brewery called Hosters. His thoughts on this question are informative.

During the show we also tried some newer takes on classic Ommegang beers, Tripel with a Twist and Three Philosophers in a can on nitro. The latter a very unusual format for a Belgian Quad, but to be honest it tasted pretty good.

I'd be interested to hear people's thoughts on this topic. If you want to hear the thoughts of someone in the business you can check out the podcast on the standard podcast servers (search for All Things Beer) or access the recording from my blog at

I haven't been able to find an amber ale I like. Fat Tire was my favorite beer

I’ve had a long time Guinness after work guy but I know there are much better stouts with a similar taste.

Any recommendations for upper Midwest available beers to scratch the Guinness itch?

i’m at Monks Philly rn. I first came here over ten years ago because i heard it was one of the only places on the east coast that had Pliny. Between my wife’s fam and work, i’ve come back here semi-regularly over the last ten years to drink PTE and I just want to say this beer still fucks. it’s just so damn crushable and crisp. And yeah the Blind Pig is probably better but PTE is just still that long schlong.
