Merriman’s Waimea, Hawaii’s first carbon neutral restaurant, is thinking out-of-the-box when it comes to sustainability. Led by chef owner Peter Merriman, the restaurant has engaged in green practices since its inception, and is now introducing even more sustainability processes to continue their mission. The goal is to expand these initiatives to the group’s other locations in Kauai, Maui and Oahu.

In partnership with Koholā Brewery, Peter Merriman created a customized brew called “Pete’s Island Wheat” that will be exclusively offered at select Merriman’s Hawaiʻi and Handcrafted Restaurants.
