Craft Brew Alliance has released a video showing the construction progress at its $23 million, 35,000 sq. ft., 100,000-barrel production facility for Kona Brewing Co. in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii.
Among the features of the forthcoming facility are water-saving technology, solar power and a high efficiency brewing system. The company said those innovations will help Kona increase production 10-fold while reducing the environmental impact of brewing beer on an island.
The brewery is slated to open later this year.
