Agreed that Maui Brewing is top notch, although Big Island Brewhaus in Waimea is a close contender IMHO, and do sampler flights of their many brews in their "beer garden" covered with growing vines of hops. Good food to boot as well - a highly recommended stop while visiting up mauka. Cheers!

(Sorry, never had Big Island Organics so no real comment, although given that Pahoa spigot water is shipped to CA for bottling and reimported as $4 a bottle specialty water for the Waikoloa Resorts, can't say I'm much surprised by the "selling on image" tactic)
