The story

Maui Brewers Festival in Kahului

A Maui craft beer festival that ran in the early 2010s, drawing island and visiting breweries for public tastings; the clearest documented edition was in 2013, when Kauai Island Brewery and Grill was listed among pouring breweries. No dedicated website is currently live for the event, and its former domain has since expired and been resold.

Hawaii's craft beer scene is small by mainland standards but tightly networked, since interisland shipping and licensing make it harder for a Kauai or Big Island brewery to get taps on Maui, or vice versa, than it would be for a brewery in a single mainland metro area to reach nearby bars.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Rather than a single fixed home, the Maui Brewers Festival appears to have functioned as a periodic pour-around bringing Hawaii breweries such as Maui Brewing Co, Kohola Brewery, and Kauai Island Brewery and Grill together for island residents to sample styles side by side, something otherwise hard to do given inter-island shipping costs for kegs

02

The mystery stays covered

The documented 2013 edition was covered by the homebrew and craft-beer blog Beer In Hawaii, which listed the pouring lineup, and that page is later cited by Wikipedia's overview of Hawaii breweries as evidence for several breweries' operating history
