Paradise Ciders expanded its O'ahu operations in late August 2026 by opening a new production facility and taproom at 3057 Koapaka Street in Mapunapuna. The business returned to this central area to better serve customer demand.
Why it matters
The move marks a strategic shift for the company to return to a location closer to Honolulu after previously moving operations to Mililani in 2023. By establishing this new site, the brand aims to increase accessibility for its local customer base.
The new Mapunapuna facility features 16 beverage choices, including various ciders, seltzers, and non-alcoholic options. Pricing includes 6-packs for $15, while upcoming growler fills range from $10 for rotating specials to $30 for a new growler and fill.
The players

A Hawaii-based beverage company that produces ciders, seltzers, and non-alcoholic drinks.

Market Landscape
This opening mirrors a broader industry trend where craft producers consolidate production and retail space to capture local foot traffic. It positions Paradise Ciders to better compete with other O'ahu-based drink manufacturers by establishing a more accessible footprint.
Customers can visit the new taproom Thursday through Sunday from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. to access a variety of beverage options. Patrons should note the facility does not serve hard liquor, ice, or cocktails, and food is restricted to local trucks or pop-ups.
The takeaway
The move demonstrates how growing businesses prioritize proximity to their core customer base to drive brand engagement. Residents looking for local social venues can take advantage of the new taproom hours to experience the updated facility.
