When it rains it pours. Hawaii is about to get even more great beer from the Pacific Northwest via Craft Northwest Distributors. The relatively new distribution company has been bringing in high quality wines from Oregon and Washington for a little over a year and is now ready to provide Hawaii with a slew of great beers from the same states.
Arriving today are beers from Bend based Worthy Brewing and Enterprise based Terminal Gravity. Slated for arrival later this month is Portland based Hopworks Urban Brewing (HUB). Worthy beers will be launched exclusively at Foodland for the first 60 days and then will spread out to other retailers. Eventually kegs from all three breweries will be available to enjoy at your favorite bar.
Here’s the line up of beers from each brewery:
