Maui Brewery Tour

It was our first day in Hawaii - a 6-hour difference in time zones. We had arrived around midnight, 4 am back home in Ottawa...

My body was tired...

A day to relax?

Traveling with our older son, I quickly realized how similar to Terry he is: Whenever Terry and I travel anywhere and I want to just relax for a day, Terry invariably says: We can relax at home... I'm here to do things!

So off we go!

Our son was the same: How about doing a brewery tour... That won't be too tiring...

So off we went!

We were both impressed by the operation, which had grown, in a few years, from a small craft brewery attached to a pub to this large and growing establishment.

Solar panels on the roofs provided 70% of their electrical needs. Their aim was to be 100% off the grid by the end of this year.

Everywhere we went in Maui, we were impressed by the push for energy self-sufficiency, with solar panels and wind mills.

We were told that the goal in Maui is to be completely energy self-sufficient by the year 2045.
