"There is nowhere you could go that I won't be with you." - Moana Once in awhile you'll find a place that exceeds expectations. Add Ola Brew - Hilo to that short list! After I was picked up at BIG Hilo Airport I was famished and told my sista let's get brunch! Ola Brew has been on both of our lists for a while, even though I've had the beer on previous visits, it was always a can or bottle from KTA. On this late morning the planets aligned and Ola Brew it is! On a Sunday the posted hours say 11:00am open, however when we arrived a tad after 10:30am the doors were already open with customers inside. I should have confirmed, but I would guess the opening time is 10:00am-ish? Upon entering we were warmly greeted and led to one of the high cafe tables. Each employee we encountered friendly with a calm vibe. I instantly fell in love with the natural light ambiance and high ceilings. The Sunday menu offered brunch so I opted for the ADOBO FRIED RICE OMELETTE 3 egg omelet filled with Adobo fried rice and topped with house-made Hollandaise ($18). Sis chose the AVOCADO TOAST served with hard boiled eggs and fries from the Keiki Menu ($12). We each ordered FLIGHTS (chose four). I chose a combination of Beers and Hard Juices ($15 each). I especially loved the Dragon Fruit Lemonade and the Luhia Pale Ale. Tita loved the Tangelo! I loved how the staff had no limit to combinations unlike other breweries. I also highly suggest you leave a choice for the friendly staff to pick for you. The turnaround time was clockwork. Our brunch in front of us minutes after receiving our Flights. Oh my! The ADOBO FRIED RICE OMELETTE was beyond amazing with chunks of pork and well seasoned rice. Adult Sis enjoyed her Keiki meal and tho it's listed as a kids meal... the serving was very generous and adults would be well fed! In the end, I highly recommend Ola Brew - Hilo. Located in downtown Hilo it's easy to find with plenty parking! Sista who lives in the area easily parked her Big Island Tita-lifted-Toyota-truck-with-fat-mud-tires into da stall lol! Chee hooo!:D Pls follow my IG adventures: @eric_travel_guru

On a work trip to Hawaii, I was able to find this place for a quick bite. The cheeseburger is delicious and so are the fries. The service is ok spot and the beer is cold as it should! I highly recommend this place. OLA!

Service was great! We sat at the bar for a quick late night dinner. The smash burger was excellent. The Ribeye is flavorful but too much chimichurri on the plate & looks like the steak was boiled. Hard seltzer was perfect for our dinner before...Read More

This is a delightful little gastropub, off the tourist drag on Hilo. Delicious dishes, fro seafood to burgers, with a really decent twist or two. The in-house brews are a nod to some local flavor too. We had a fair swatch of the menu,...Read More

Per the recommendations of many people, I knew that I had to check this brewery out while in Hilo. The drinks were quite good. I tried a flight of their beers, and enjoyed most of them. My favorites were the Mo Hazy and the Nelson IPA.
