How To Make Friends

Let’s be honest: the older you get, the harder it is to make friends. Outside of the forced interactions of school or work, finding genuine connection as an adult can be difficult. At Hana Koa Brewing Co., we believe that beer is the ultimate catalyst for conversation. Inspired by the soulful vibes of Nathaniel Rateliff, How To Make Friends was brewed to break down barriers. Many of the world’s greatest ideas and lifelong friendships started over a shared pint, and this flagship Hazy IPA is our invitation for you to say "hi" to the person sitting next to you at the bar. You never know who might become your new "cheers" buddy.

This isn't just a local favorite; it is a World Beer Cup® Silver Medal winner. As one of the most popular craft beers in Honolulu, this Hazy IPA is engineered for sociability. It delivers a lush, tropical profile that is soft on the palate and bursting with juicy hop character. It’s the kind of world-class brew that makes you want to stay for another round and keep the conversation going.

Whether you’re a regular at our Kaka’ako brewery or just passing through Oahu, this beer is about community. Being an adult is tough, but making friends shouldn't be. Grab a glass of this silver-medal winner, embrace the social spirit of Hawaii, and remember: every stranger is just a friend you haven't shared a beer with yet.
