A dream begins not in the physical world, but in our imagination. From there it
springs forth a new beginning. With great pride, Maui Brewing Company presents island
crafted Kupu Spirits.
ISLAND CRAFTED SPIRITS
Kupu Spirits is a brand extension of Hawaii’s largest independent craft brewery, Maui Brewing Co., operating with a mission aligned to the same independent values, sustainability practices, and commitment to craft as its parent brand.
Kupu Spirits debuted in 2019 with the launch of a ready-to-drink craft canned cocktail collection including Whiskey Ginger, Whiskey Cola, and Gin & Tonic varieties. The craft cocktails blend Kupu Spirits Whiskey and Gin with Maui Brewing Company’s Island Sodas, which are created in-house using all-natural ingredients like cane sugar, local island honey, and Hawaii-grown ginger.
Our premium spirits are inspired by our island home, using only the finest local ingredients. Our award-winning Gin and White Whiskey have garnered attention both locally and nationally for their quality and excellence. In 2021, Whiskey was added to the line-up following one year of resting on new charred American oak barrels on the slopes of Haleakala.
