HOWZIT BREWING TAPS INTO WARD VILLAGE®
Local entrepreneurs bring passion and creativity to Honolulu’s craft beer scene
HONOLULU, HI (December 12, 2023) – Ward Village®, the award-winning destination in the heart of Honolulu to live, shop, dine and explore, welcomes a craft beer experience for anyone interested in the art of brewing. Founded by craft beer enthusiasts inspired by the best Pacific Northwest and global styles and flavors, Howzit Brewing specializes in producing high-quality, on-site brewed beers for wholesale and retail sales. Located in the former Reedesign Builders Inc. space, Howzit Brewing offers a tasting room featuring a diverse range of craft beers, pre-packaged options for the non-beer drinkers, and a rotating array of food trucks.
“Howzit Brewing takes a no-compromise approach to crafting beers and puts quality first, offering the perfect opportunity for those looking to try both classic beer styles as well as new flavors,” says Taylor Herring, General Manager of Ward Village. “Ward Village is home to so many local makers, creators, and artisans and Howzit Brewing gives the community yet another reason to visit and explore the neighborhood.”
Born on O‘ahu, Justin Heikkinen, owner of Howzit Brewing, returns to the islands bringing years of experience immersed in the Pacific Northwest craft beer scene to Honolulu. With a focus on refinement and iteration, Howzit plans to offer a constantly rotating tap list, making each visit a one-of-a-kind experience.
“Making beer is like traditional art in that it draws inspiration from various sources that guide the creative process and output,” says Heikkinen. “We’re grateful to be part of the vibrant Ward Village community and look to offer a product that will be truly unmatched in the market.”
Howzit Brewing is open to the public from noon to 10 p.m. seven days a week. The brewery officially opened its doors to the public on November 3, 2023.

About Ward Village®
Ward Village is a 60-acre master planned community by Howard Hughes Holdings Inc. in the heart of Honolulu, located between downtown and Waikīkī. Honoring the distinct history of its land, Ward Village is at the forefront of sustainable community development—integrating striking architecture, culture and arts, and public open space. At full buildout, the community will include thousands of homes and approximately one million square feet of unique retail in what Architectural Digest named “Best Planned Community in the United States.”
As a result of strong demand for new housing in urban Honolulu, Ward Village quickly sold out its first seven mixed-use residential towers—Waiea®, Anaha®, Ae‘o®, Ke Kilohana®, ʻAʻaliʻi®, Kō‘ula®, and Victoria Place®—transforming the popular shopping and dining district into a thriving urban neighborhood that offers ocean views and open space, including its newest outdoor gathering place, Victoria Ward Park. New residential buildings in development or under construction include Victoria Place and Kalae®. Since launching public sales in July 2021, The Park Ward Village®has become the fastest-selling market tower in the history of Ward Village. Approved by the Hawaiʻi Community Development Authority (HCDA) in 2021, The Park Ward Village and Ulana Ward Village® will be the newest mixed-use developments to join the neighborhood.
As a LEED-ND Platinum-certified master planned community, Ward Village demonstrates its commitment to responsible, mixed-use development by investing in public benefits and amenities for Honolulu’s urban community. For more information, visit http://www.wardvillage.com/.
