Maui Brewing Company in Hawaii - Supporting the Island of Maui Through World-Class Products With Garrett Marrero

Garrett Marrero joins us on this episode of Hawaii's Best. Garrett is the co-founder of Maui Brewing Company in Maui, Hawaii. We get to hear how Maui Brewing Company started back in 2005 when Garrett was only twenty-six years old.
 
His vision and dream started in San Diego, California, which turned into cofounding Maui Brewing Company in 2004 and officially opening its doors in January of 2005.
 Garrett shares how his passion for micro-brewing started. Growing up in a European family and coming along his Grandpa’s side helped Garrett develop a palette for a great beer at a young age. He knew his previous role in finance didn’t fulfill him the way his passion for beer and entrepreneurship did.
 
 We get to hear why Maui Brewery is leading by example with how their facility is built and operating, producing 100 percent of their energy on-site. Garrett shares with Bryan how this 82,000 square foot facility provides 1.2 mega wats of solar power to their primary location being fully grid-independent.
 
After working with the State of Hawaii and receiving his small craft producers license, Maui Brewery not only produces beer but produces local soda, whiskey, gin, and now hard spritzers.

If someone comes to Maui for the first time Garrett shares what to do and what not to do. From skipping touristy stuff to just grabbing a six-pack of their Blonde lager, poki, and relaxing by the blue waters of Hawaii in Maui. In this episode, we hear how Garret loves to unwind in a very cool high flying way.
 
Listen in and hear about how his start on Maui started rocky and how it has developed since then. You’ll also find out about the Beyond Beer Program and what’s next for Maui Brewing Company.
