Join the Revival of Hawai'i's Heritage Spirit
ƌkolehao, HawaiÊ»i’s first distilled spirit, rose to prominence during the Hawaiian monarch era and nearly vanished after the overthrow. Over a century later, Ola Brew is reviving it with a vertically integrated model of 100% Hawai'i-grown kÄ« root from an Ola operated farm-to-bottle approach rooted in history and place.
  • Built for Scale: The expansive oceanfront Ola Distillery, was built with distilling capacity to support up to 300,000 cases annually.
    ‍
  • Award-winning validation, early in awareness: Ola Brew has received 75 international awards for ‘Okolehao, including three times “Best in Class” at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition.  
     
  • Led by Proven Beverage Builders: Ola Brew is led by its two co-founders, bringing a combined 28 years of beverage industry experience.

THE OPPORTUNITY
Born of Hawaiʻi, 
Made for the World ‹
‘ƌkolehao, HawaiÊ»i’s historic distilled spirit, is being brought back to life for today’s global market that is desperate for authenticity and innovation. With operating taprooms, a commercial brewery, and active spirits production, the Ola Brew team has infrastructure and craft expertise already in place, and the resurrection is now underway. ‹
THE PROBLEM
Different Labels,
Same Ingredients​
The global spirits market is saturated with new labels built on the same base ingredients. Nearly every bourbon and most whiskeys rely on variations of corn, rye, and barley. More than 2,500 tequila brands source from roughly 150 distilleries. Brand count grows, true category innovation does not. Distributors, retailers, and consumers are searching for authentic, place-based spirits that offer real distinction.
OUR SOLUTION
A Proven Spirit, Then and Now
Ê»ĆŒkolehao is not another variation within an existing segment, it is the resurrection of HawaiÊ»i’s original distilled spirit, made from 100% HawaiÊ»i-grown kÄ« root. In 1889, it earned international recognition at the Paris Exposition. In the 21st century, Ola’s 100% kÄ«-root spirit continues to win over global judges now with 75 awards.

Ola Brew is building a category the industry has been waiting for.

THE MARKET
Where Premium Demand
Meets Hawaiʻi’s Original Spirit
Ê»ĆŒkolehao sits at the intersection of premium whiskey and premium tequila, categories that represented a combined $18.6B U.S. market in 2024, including an estimated $10.2B premium segment. Its flavor profile aligns with a premium consumer palate that already exists, giving it a clear lane into a proven market.

But unlike brands built on the same common base ingredients, Ê»ĆŒkolehao delivers true differentiation: a new taste experience backed by the heritage of HawaiÊ»i’s original distilled spirit and the power of one of the world’s most marketable geographic origins.
OUR TRACTION
Traction Toward Scale
Ola Brew has raised over $3 million through crowdfunding and more than $18 million from private investors, with capital deployed directly into distillery property and construction, agricultural research and development, and product innovation. During this buildout phase, Ola's Ê»ĆŒkolehao earned 75 international awards, including three “Best in Class” honors from the world’s most prestigious competitions.  The Ola Distillery was constructed with distilling capacity supporting up to 300,000 cases annually ‹

Important Notes

*Investors must be 21 years or older to participate in tasting or pairing experiences.

*In order to receive perks from an investment, one must submit a single investment in the same offering that meets the minimum perk requirement. Bonus shares from perks will not be granted if an investor submits multiple investments that, when combined, meet the perk requirement. All perks occur when the offering is completed.

Crowdfunding investments made through a self-directed IRA cannot receive non-bonus share perks due to tax laws. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) prohibits self-dealing transactions in which the investor receives an immediate, personal financial gain on investments owned by their retirement account. As a result, an investor must refuse those non-bonus share perks because they would be receiving a benefit from their IRA account.

The 10% StartEngine Venture Club Bonus

Hawaiian Ola Brewing Corporation will offer 10% additional bonus shares for all investments that are committed by investors that are eligible for the StartEngine Venture Club.
This means eligible StartEngine shareholders will receive a 10% bonus for any shares they purchase in this offering. For example, if you buy 100 shares of Class A Common Stock at $4.50 / share, you will receive 110 shares of Class A Common Stock, meaning you’ll own 110 shares for $450.00. Fractional shares will not be distributed and share bonuses will be determined by rounding down to the nearest whole share.

This 10% Bonus is only valid during the investor’s eligibility period. Investors eligible for this bonus will also have priority if they are on a waitlist to invest and the company surpasses its maximum funding goal. They will have the first opportunity to invest should room in the offering become available if prior investments are canceled or fail.

Investors will receive the highest single bonus they are eligible for among the bonuses based on the amount invested and the time of offering elapsed (if any). Eligible investors will also receive the Venture Club bonus and the Loyalty Bonus in addition to the aforementioned bonus.
