KAANAPALI – Leilani’s on the Beach recently provided the oceanfront venue for a celebration of the launch of Maui Brewing Co. and Stone Brewing Co.’s newly formed craft beer distribution company.

Two leaders in the craft beer movement – Greg Koch of Stone Brewing Co. and Garrett Marrero of Maui Brewing Co. – have come together to change the way Maui enjoys beer.

The newly formed craft beer distribution company is dedicated to making fresh, authentic craft beer available throughout Maui.

Leilani’s on the Beach has been at the forefront of elevating craft beer awareness on Maui. The restaurant has an extensive collection of craft beers available.

Leilani’s staff and guests welcomed Stone Brewing Co. and Maui Brewing Co. as they took over all 12 of Leilani’s Blizzard system beer taps. Maui’s own Nuff Sedd performed live at the event.

Six year-round and special release beers from each brewery were selected for the occasion.

Leilani’s on the Beach is located in Whalers Village in Kaanapali. For information, call 661-4495 or visit www.leilanis.com.
