My husband and I love Maui Brewing Company. The vibe here is chill and the food is tasty. The Kihei location is just off Piilani Highway and less than a 10 minute drive from Wailea. It’s a casual spot where you’re carded and given a wristband to show you’re of proper age before your allowed to find a table. Seating was “grab whatever table is available” when we were there in Sept 2023. We have experience times where they will seat you but it was busier then.

One of my favorite eats here are the Huli Huli bites. They’re boneless chicken chunks that have a crispy skin coated in Huli Huli flavor with a side of ranch or blue cheese. They have never disappointed, I highly recommend grabbing some for your table.

The second go to item is the simple greens salad. It has a bright orange juice vinaigrette that is a touch sweet and a little sour. The salad usually comes with tomatoes, cucumbers, onion, radish and a mix of greens. It’s healthy and tasty!

For beverages I have been told the beers are good but I don’t drink (My husband really enjoyed the POG IPA that was on the menu when we visited). I did try one of their mocktails called True North. It had a light taste lavender and citrus, but the more I drank the more it started tasting like lemonade. It was ok, not my favorite.

I do recommend trying the MBC root beer. It’s a dang good root beer and there’s a float version if you’re into that (you should be!).

We also snagged the nachos on our most recent visit. They have a nice mix of cheese and beans with a generous amount of sour cream and guacamole on top. I’m cursed with the bad cilantro gene so we got that on the side. The chicken we added on was ok. A bit dry and honestly didn’t add a lot. I do recommend the nachos, maybe skip the chicken.

I would not recommend the fish tacos. Maybe I’m spoiled coming from SoCal but the fish was over cooked and there wasn’t much special about them.

MBC is a great spot to chill and relax. If you’re looking for a place to have a larger group of people this place is nice for that too as you pay via a QR code and folks can keep separate tabs. We will be returning, if only to snag the skillet cookie we haven’t had (this trip) yet!
