Brewseum

Honolulu


Part bar, part brewery, part museum of Hawaii in WWII, the Brewseum wears many hats – or should we say helmets. Military artifacts are jammed into every corner and line every wall. You could spend hours reading the framed mementos, but, fortunately, there's beer. Don't try to understand, just go.
