Brewpub opening in Honolulu's Chinatown
Stewbum & Stonewall Brewing Co., which closed its brewery earlier this year, is opening in Honolulu's Chinatown, one of its owners confirmed to this blog. The Oahu-based company, which was founded by Darren Garvey and Eric Jackson in 2013, once had a location in Kaneohe in WIndward Oahu. After closing this spring, Stewbum & Stonewall began looking for a new space, which will be located directly across from The Pig & The Lady restaurant near the corner of Smith and King streets. Garvey told this blog that it will be brewing beer at its new space and also will have a full bar and will serve food. "We'll hopefully be open by February," he said. Chinatown has been gaining new restaurants and bars at a rapid pace in the last few years. Stewbum & Stonewall will join the scene at a time of resurgence for the area. The brewery includes such craft beers as Batch 518 Pale Ale, Joe Mama's Amber Lager, Makana Island Wheat and Sweet Jar India Pa
