Wailuku is a little town at the base of the Iao Valley. There is so much cramped into this delightful town, including two hostels within throwing distance from each other, a vaporizer room, a Safeway and two very old delightful churches. Across the parking lot from the hostel I prefer, called Northshore Hostel, is a four story building that simply has the words FOOD COURT. Inside that building is a large eatery. The only food that has been active while we have been there is Indian food. That Indian food is delicious. You can get a bowl of rice, chicken curry and cabbage salad on top for $6. And it's almost too much to eat.
Tonight, it was the location of the MAUI HOMEBREWERS ASSOCIATION Tuesday night meeting. The leader of the pack seemed to be Thor, who wore a Fat Tire shirt. There was also Will, Steve and Anthony, who all seemed to be close friends. To my right was a man who had a hundred questions. I didn't catch his name but he worked for Wailea Marroitt as the head groundskeeper. To Curt's left, was Dan, who was a delightful man that lives near us in Haiku. Dan invited us to come to his house and drink out oft he six home made beers he has on tap. Curtis and I both agree that we like Dan.
We tried many beers. A lot of the guys there tonight brew IPA. We tried a double IPA, a brown beer, a English made America Pale Ale, and a Russian Imperial Stout. Delicious.
Curtis is inspired to brew beer with his new friends and regrets that he does not have beer going now that he can enter in the beer tasting competition that is within the next month.
I am happy that he has found a niche.
Now all we need is to find a knitter that I can buddy up with.
More a Maui to come....
