My picks of beer news from around the web that you need to read and my two cents on the topics.  Most of the time it’s Hawaii beer news topics, but every once in a while you’ll find other general beer related topics.

Honolulu Magazine – It’s a busy press week for Honolulu Beerworks! This is my first of several articles about the soon to open brewery in Kakaako. My hope is to chronical the last stages of opening a brewery and take you all along for the ride. I sat down with Geoff Seideman for a quick interview. Up next, construction and build out.  http://bit.ly/187pD4p

Nonstop Honolulu – More on Honolulu Beerworks. http://bit.ly/1980sPf

Pacific Business News – And even more on Honolulu Beerworks. http://bit.ly/17EtdUB

Pacific Business News – Not sure what to say about this one. The real facts are murky and we may never really know what happend, nor should we really care. Seems like Aloha Beer Company is in a big mess and probably won’t be reopening anytime soon. I guess you can stick those ABC growlers in the back of our cabinets for a while. http://bit.ly/18q1B2q

BeerPulse – You win some you lose some. As many already know, Hawaiian Islands Brewing Company is officially closing this month. They made a good run at it, but couldn’t continue to operate. Right now Honolulu is without a brewery to call it’s own…until Honolulu Beerworks opens at least. http://bit.ly/165tDGB
