# Waikiki Brewing Company, Honolulu: A Four-Glass Beer Flight and a Pretzel with Two Sauces

Waikiki Brewing Company is a brewpub at 1945 Kalakaua Avenue in Waikiki, Honolulu, that serves its craft beer on draft and in 4-ounce samples. Honolulu Magazine reported in October 2024 that this pub had become Waikiki Brewing Company's main production facility.

## The beer flight and its card

In my May 2022 photo, four small glasses sit in round cutouts on a long wooden paddle. The beers run from copper to pale gold to nearly black to light yellow. A paper flight card in front carries the Waikiki Brewing Company logo, and three of its handwritten lines read Aloha Spirit Blonde Ale, Black Strap Porter and Skinny Jeans IPA. A fourth line is cut off at the edge of the frame, and I can't tell which glass holds which beer.

Waikiki Brewing Company's website currently lists the Aloha Spirit Blonde Ale, the Skinny Jeans IPA and a Black Strap Molasses Porter (checked Nov 14, 2026). It describes the blonde ale as lightly bitter with a delicate hop aroma, the IPA as hop-forward with tropical notes, and the porter as roasty, with coffee flavors.

## The pretzel and its two sauces

*The pretzel with two dipping sauces, the flight paddle behind it.*

In my photo, the pretzel sits whole on a black speckled plate, its glossy brown crust dotted with coarse white grains that look like salt. Two small cups sit inside the twist: a white one with an orange, cheese-like sauce and a clear one with a yellow-brown sauce. Waikiki Brewing Company's undated website menu lists a Giant Pretzel served with house-made Jalapeño Mouth beer cheese and 808 Carolina BBQ at $17 (checked Nov 14, 2026). The sauces in my photo may differ from the current menu.
