Hawaii Nui Brewing Beer Dinner

Wednesday, May 20, 2009
Formaggio Grill

My old friend Kyle Nakayama from Excessive Celebrations held a beer tasting event with Andy Baker from Hawaii Nui Brewing at Formaggio Grill in Kailua...too bad I'm not a big beer drinker, cause the beer looked good!

This is Kyle in the Red and Andy is the guy in the middle...

Formaggio's has a brand new private room to rent out for private dinners or celebrations...it's beautiful! I think it holds up to 32 people.

I had the honor today to assist Jalna while she was taking family photos of Laura, Gary and Carys Chen. We had so much fun and Carys was soooo adorable! Maybe I should become a professional reflector holder...anyways, I was able to sneak in a few shots myself...

Check out Jalna's pics too, they're beautiful!
