Maui Brewery Tour + Hawaii Food and Drinks

I know I didn’t take full advantage of all the delicious food that Hawaii has to offer, but I am just not a seafood person. So while the rest of the group was eating tuna and mahi mahi, I was sticking with steak most nights. My food was good, but not really photo-worthy. 

Maui Brewery Tour and Hawaii Food and Drinks

There were some meals that I actually remembered to take pictures of. And of course I documented many of our drinks from the trip. So this will be sort of a random compilation of those pictures, starting with our trip to the Maui Brewery.

While I will usually choose wine over beer, I do love a trip to a brewery, especially when there is a beer tasting involved. Maui Brewing Company was located just a few miles from where we were staying in Kihei, so we headed over there for a few hours on Wednesday afternoon. The visit started with a 30 minute tour followed by a beer tasting. Our tour guide helped us taste 4 of their popular beers, and then we got a token for a free beer of our choice. They had a food truck parked outside, so after the tasting we had lunch and tried some more beers.

My favorite was the Big Swell. Apparently they sell it in some Maryland stores, so I will have to look out for it!

We mostly drank beer from the Maui Brewing Company for the rest of the trip, but there were some others we tried as well. This was Castaway IPA by Kona Brewing Company.

I don’t remember what this one was. We stopped in to a bar before dinner one night and I picked something that sounded good- I’m sure it was an IPA.

I’m not big on fruity drinks but I did have one while we were there. This was pina colada with some kind of fruit mixed it. It was refreshing but one was plenty for me, then it was back to beer and wine.

I did drink some non-alcohol beverages, like coffee and water. Every morning I brought my coffee down to the beach. Sometimes Rob was already having a beer..

Rob made me take a picture of this cinnamon roll that he got for breakfast one morning. I had one bite and it was really good but so rich. Even he was struggling to eat the whole thing (but of course he did).

On one of our first nights we went to a seafood restaurant called Mama’s Fish House. If you like seafood, you should definitely check this out, but the steak was really good too. And the views were amazing. I believe the only food we actually took a picture of was dessert.

For our last dinner (when it was just Rob and I) we went to Spago at the Four Seasons. Once again, amazing views and food (especially for seafood lovers). Rob started with the Spicy Ahi Tuna Poke while I had a tomato salad.

By our last day I was craving veggies and decided it was time to eat something green, so I gave in and ordered a $14 salad. salad

I suppose that now it’s time to detox a bit and get back to my regular eating habits. It’s already been nice to have access to vegetables at all my meals again without spending a fortune!

    Sooo why on earth have I never thought of using big muffin tins to transport drinks?! You learn something new every day! 😛

    That cinnamon roll looks crazy good and it looks like this was such a fun trip!

    I definitely crave veggies when I go without them! Whenever we travel the first thing I tend to want when I come home is a hugeee dinner with all of my favourites because usually I’m stuck with only eating one or two or whatever I can get!

    • Lisa @ Running Out Of Wine says

      September 21, 2016 at 7:13 pm

      The muffin tin is a great idea, right?!
      I have been eating salads every day since we got back. I think I finally feel like Im back to myself:)

    This sounds right up my ally. I love seafood. I prefer wine over beer too but I do like going to breweries and trying the craft beers. Sounds like you had a bunch of great food. Now it is time to get back into a routine. Don’t you just hate that?

    • Lisa @ Running Out Of Wine says

      September 21, 2016 at 7:15 pm

      The routine is good and bad. But I think I would always choose Hawaii over being back home!

  3. Wendy@Taking the Long Way Home says

    I really need to go to Hawaii! Even just for the food and beer. I do love fresh seafood.

    • Lisa @ Running Out Of Wine says

      September 21, 2016 at 7:15 pm

      Yes you do! I think its my favorite vacation spot.

  4. Lesley says

    I love certain types of seafood, but I have to admit, I don’t think I ate a lot of seafood on my two trips to Hawai’i. What I did eat a lot of was the fresh pineapple. So good!

    • Lisa @ Running Out Of Wine says

      September 21, 2016 at 7:16 pm

      Oh definitely! They had great fruit there!

  5. Sarah @ BucketListTummy says

    I can imagine how expensive the food is in Hawaii. But when on vacation…Coffee by the beach is my perfect idea of vacation!

    • Lisa @ Running Out Of Wine says

      September 21, 2016 at 7:16 pm

      I wanted to cry when I saw some of the prices on the menus. At least the coffee was reasonable:)

    We’re pretty much the same when it comes to our bevvies. I’m just not a big mixed-drink fan. If I’m going to have something sweet then I’d rather have chocolate with a glass of wine rather than a big sugary drink. I would do anything to go back to Hawaii soon. SIGH… Your trip looked amazing! I do love coming back home though. I’m such a person of routine and there’s nothing like my own bed.

    • Lisa @ Running Out Of Wine says

      September 21, 2016 at 7:18 pm

      Red wine + chocolate is the perfect combo. In fact I think Im gonna have to do that tonight.
      The routine and our own bed is definitely nice! Its just so tough to adjust to the time change and it was hard to sleep well and get back into a routine. I think Im finally adjusted now though.

    I’m 10 days into 28 days of no alcohol and this post is killing me! Those beers look so good!!

    • Lisa @ Running Out Of Wine says

      September 21, 2016 at 7:19 pm

      I’m sorry! Good for you for going 28 days without alcohol! I am embarrassed to admit my planned detox hasn’t been going so well…but a glass of wine eases the disappointment of being back from vacation.

  8. Karen says

    September 21, 2016 at 11:49 am

    Everything looks so yummy! I usually like pale ale’s the best. It is fun to be on vacation and get to relax and enjoy some new things, but I would hate how expensive things can be. I am not big on seafood either.

    • Lisa @ Running Out Of Wine says

      September 21, 2016 at 7:20 pm

      The cost was really high for everything there. But we just tried not to worry about it too much and just enjoyed ourselves.

  9. Laura @ This Runner's Recipes says

    September 21, 2016 at 7:07 pm

    I keep telling Ryan that we need to go to Hawaii since it’s relatively close to us. The seafood and the beer (especially all those IPAs) sound so delicious! I’m not a fan of sugary drinks either. Usually the first meal I cook at home after a trip is a huge salad! London was the same way where there were just not a lot of vegetables except for peas and carrots, and all I wanted by the end was a bowl full of vegetables.

    • Lisa @ Running Out Of Wine says

      September 21, 2016 at 7:22 pm

      You really should go there! Its always nice to get back to our normal eating habits after time indulging.

  10. Kristina says

    September 21, 2016 at 10:49 pm

    Ohhhh yay! I’m so glad to know that a person can go to Hawaii and survive without having to eat seafood. I don’t eat any seafood at all, and I’ve always wondered how I would fare out there!

    That fruity pina colada looks delicious! YUM!

    • Lisa @ Running Out Of Wine says

      September 22, 2016 at 6:42 am

      There are lots of other options, but everything else is kind of boring. Which is fine with me- I prefer simple food anyway!

  11. meredith @ cookie chrunicles says

    September 22, 2016 at 6:14 am

    that cinnamon roll! yum. I don’t love seafood and really don’t it unless it’s hiding in sushi

    • Lisa @ Running Out Of Wine says

      September 22, 2016 at 6:43 am

      I have never liked any kind of sushi! I have tried it twice and will probably not try it again. I actually think the seaweed was part of the problem.

  12. Diana @ Live Lean Eat Green says

    September 22, 2016 at 3:24 pm

    I love Maui! When I was there Maui Brewing was under construction but the facility they were building looked incredible! I’m with you on the veggies–We specifically stayed in a condo with a kitchen so we could stock up on fresh fruit and veggies and Costco haha!

    • Lisa @ Running Out Of Wine says

      September 22, 2016 at 7:55 pm

      Its nice to be able to have your own foods when traveling! And its too bad you didnt get to make it to the Maui Brewery- I guess you will just have to go back to Maui!

  13. Susie @ SuzLyfe says

    September 23, 2016 at 6:45 am

    My bloglovin for you apparently went on vacation because these posts are just now coming through! And thank goodness for that–if we go to Hawaii, we are recreating this post 😀

    • Lisa @ Running Out Of Wine says

      September 23, 2016 at 6:47 am

      Ugh I know I found out yesterday that my posts weren’t going through! I guess some people were following my .wordpress.com account but that was not longer posting to Bloglovin, so i was able to move all my followers to my self-hosted site. Sorry about that but glad to know its working now!

  14. Lauren says

    September 23, 2016 at 11:01 am

    What did you think of Mama’s Fish House?

    We went right from airport as we were staying on other side of Island—-our friends talked it up—said best place ever. I thought OK…not amazing!!!

    Your trip looks great!!!

    • Lisa @ Running Out Of Wine says

      September 23, 2016 at 6:12 pm

      Everyone I was with thought it was amazing. As someone who doesn’t care for seafood, I thought my food was good but it just seemed so overpriced. Gorgeous view though!

  15. Marjo says

    Wow, that looks so fun! I wasn’t aware that there were breweries in Maui. I’m definitely going hunt for a few to visit the next time we visit the big island and Maui.

This morning’s run was an adventure with bugs ev This morning’s run was an adventure with bugs everywhere, lots of mud from all the rain we’ve had, overgrown trees blocking the sidewalks, and 93% humidity. Better than wind and ice I guess! Did you deal with anything annoying on your run today?

#run #runner #runchat #runbaltimore
How am I supposed to focus on this meeting when I How am I supposed to focus on this meeting when I just want to ask how many miles did you run this morning and what are you training for? #runner #runnersofinstagram #runchat
Fall is pretty good too but there’s nothing like Fall is pretty good too but there’s nothing like seeing the sunrise on a morning run! As an early morning riser I would be fine with a 4am sunrise but I know that’s not for everyone so I will just enjoy the 2 months of the year when the sun is up (almost) as early as me. #morningrunner #sunriserun
Let them be your reason, not your excuse. I coul Let them be your reason, not your excuse. 

I could sit here and tell you how hard it is to train with 2 young kids. How I rarely get a full night’s sleep anymore. How they got me sick the week before my race. How my SI joint just isn’t the same since my pregnancies. But that wouldn’t be fair, because I need to listen to my own advice that I give them about how to keep working hard and that there will always be obstacles to overcome.

After my race on Sunday I was thinking about how my Kindergartner has been working for a special award all year long. Many times he has told me he just wants to give up, because he works so hard for months at a time and still hasn’t earned it. I keep telling him that if he keeps working hard he will earn it, but what’s most important is that he gives his best each and every day. All those good days add up and even if he doesn’t earn the award, it will mean he had a great year.

Don’t I need to take my own advice and remember that all the good training days add up, even if I don’t get the outcome I want on race day? Before my race he kept telling me to do my best, and that he would give me a prize (artwork) even if I don’t win. So maybe all the lessons I am teaching him are starting to pay off? #motherrunner #halfmarathon  #frederickrunfest
