    Not to spark any controversy, but Sam Adams is served on Jet Blue for the time being, but that market may increase now that we are selling SA cans of: Boston Lager, Rebel IPA, Porch Rocker, and our main seasonals (Cold Snap, Summer Ale, Octoberfest, and Winter Lager).

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE



    Maui Brewing Co. Named "Official Craft Beer of Hawaiian Airlines"

    Lahaina, Hawaii (Aug. 29, 2014) - Maui Brewing Co.'s Bikini Blonde Lager will be offered on international routes on September 1, 2014, and domestic routes to and from the mainland on October 1, 2014 on Hawaiian Airlines.



    "As Hawaii's largest craft brewery we're proud to partner with Hawaiian Airlines in having a truly local beer available to passengers. I am looking forward to enjoying a great beer as I travel to and from the islands," says Garrett Marrero, Founder of MauiBrewing Co.



    Bikini Blonde Lager is a filtered Munich Helles Lager brewed with floral hops and Pilsner and Munich malts. It's a bold Lager, but smooth and refreshing.

    Maui Brewing Co. is a craft brewery based in Maui, HI. As the largest authenticHawaiian brewery, it currently has one brewery in Lahaina, and one brewpub in Kahana that creates more than 40 different styles on a rotating basis. In 2005 MauiBrewing Co. produced 400 barrels from the single brewpub and expanded into an additional brewery location in 2007, producing a little over 20,000 barrels in 2013.



    MBC has remained consistent in the vision of our motto, "Handcrafted Ales & Lagers Brewed with Aloha". This means respect for the environment, our community and people, as we strive for enjoyment in every high-quality craft beer brewed. The beers have been recognized worldwide for quality and innovation.



    Maui Brewing Co. is currently in construction on a brewery in Kihei. This will help meet current demand, and give the ability to open additional markets. The goal is to be brewing, drinking, and shipping beer from this new brewery by the end of this year.

    Had Hazed and Infused from Boulder last year on a Frontier Airlines flight. Also was pleasantly surprised to find DFH 90, yes 90, Minute IPA on an Amtrak Acela Express last year.

    I've been on a Qantas flight that served quite a few different Australian craft options.

    Only thing I've ever even considered drinking on a plane is gin & tonic.

    Years ago I flew Horizon Air from Portland to Reno, they were serving Drop Top Amber Ale gratis. They refilled my glass 3 times on that short flight.

    They were also serving a decent Pinot Noir free of charge as well, and were giving refills on that as well.
