The 7th Annual Maui Brewers Festival returns to Maui Arts & Cultural Center (The MACC) on Saturday, May 16, 4-7 pm in A&B Amphitheater. Presented by The MACC in association with Maui Brewing Co. and Paradise Beverages, this is a perennial “Maui favorite” festival to kick off the summer, featuring the specialty and craft brews of dozens of breweries from Hawai‘i and the Mainland, as well as scrumptious pupu samplers from many of Maui’s fine chefs.
There will be 37 breweries participating in the festival this year, and approximately 24 restaurants and caterers, including some perennial favorites as well as exciting new tastes in both food and beverages! The food tastings will include both savory and sweet temptations. The breweries selected to participate in the Festival are invited because of their commitment to making craft beer with an emphasis on quality, flavor and locally sourced ingredients. There will also be bottled water, coffee drinks and locally crafted alcohol free root beer!
Entrance to the Festival includes a commemorative glass to use in sampling eight 4-ounce pours of beer. There will be live music for entertainment, as well as bountiful prize giveaways from the participating breweries and The MACC. The highly-prized official Maui Brewers Festival t-shirts, created by Crazy Shirts, will be available for purchase, featuring the distinctive MBF full colorful logo on super-quality pima cotton shirts.
