Maui Brewing Co - Brewery & Restaurant

When Maui Brewing’s acquisition of Modern Times Beer closes in late October, the newly formed parent company will be called Craft ‘Ohana – the Hawaiian word for “family,” Maui announced today.

As the sale of Modern Times to Maui Brewing inches closer, the San Diego craft brewery has provided notice of plans to lay off more than 120 workers in early October. However, many of the affected employees are expected to be rehired by the Hawaii-headquartered acquirer of Modern Times once the sale closes in the fall.
