Inu Island Ales — Restaurant in Oʻahu

Most likely the best brewery on Oahu, especially if you are looking for hazy IPAs and pastry stouts - they absolutely nail those styles and when things work (which for majority of the stuff I tried from them - they do) they are absolutely on top of the game, and not just for Hawaii, but CONUS as well. Think Monkish, Green Cheek for IPAs and Angry Chair (but better, less clogging sweet), Moksa, or Bottle Logic or for the pastry stouts. They just need to put some of those stouts in barrels (Hanna Banana for example please!) Anyway, also a lot of fruity stuff that's pretty good, sometimes you may get lucky and see an old school west coast IPA or even a nice pilsner. Staff is amazing, I do not remember all the names, but Jhonny will surely take care of you! They will sell you a crowler of anything on tap, or have cans to go. Prices aren't the lowest, but if you are into those styles, you will not be...

Small location with semi limited parking featuring a rotating tap list of great craft brews.

Three sours, a hazy IPA, and a golden stout were available when I visited, and they were all amazing. I'm not a fan of Mosaic hops, but the IPA featuring Mosaic and Citra was still tasty. My favorite available was the Sour (Inu Island Punch, Mango & Guava). Had to get a few of these!

Justin was working when I visited, and he was extremely knowledgeable about the beers on tap (and other breweries from across the nation). I was fortunate to visit here on a weekend when the "reserved parking" outside wasn't an issue, but this is apparently enforced during the week.

I've been to several breweries throughout Hawaii; this one, while it may have the least draft items available, had the best beers by far. If and when I come back to Hawaii, I'll be...

First time trying this place after multiple unsuccessful attempts due to only 3 tables. My wife and I went in with high expectations from all the reviews but we were very disappointed. Beer is average at best and they only serve beer in crowlers(which you can only take to go) or 7 oz. plastic single use cups(horrible for environment). Also, we were told the policy of the brewery is that you have to order a bag of stale tasting trail mix to eat there even though the state of Hawaii does not require food purchases to drink alcohol. I asked the beertender working why they have this policy and he had no answer for it, just said it was company policy. Seems like they just want to screw people out of money. Definitely will not be back and don't recommend to anyone looking for a chill brewery to grab a few...
