Tally’s Take
Wild yeast captured from the flora on the slopes of Haleakalā. You cannot ship that in, which is the whole point of doing it.
Ownership & corporate history
- Acquired by Lahaina Brewery, Inc.July 2025
Partly settledCurrent evidence supports this, but the record is not fully resolved.
What the sources say
Acquisition reported in July 2025; Maui County records later identify the Upcountry legal business as Mahalo Brewing Co., LLC. Source: https://www.mauinews.com/news/local-news/2025/07/lahaina-brewery-is-back-in-a-big-way/
Ownership history is kept as dated events, so a change of owner never overwrites the one before it.
