Welcome to the Kona Beer Settlement Website
**UPDATE** Settlement payments were issued and mailed on September 8, 2020 to class members who submitted valid and timely claims to the Settlement Administrator.

If you purchased Kona Beer between February 28, 2013 and June 14, 2019, you may be eligible to receive payment from a Class Action Settlement
A Settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit. Purchasers of Kona Brewing Company Beer (“Kona Beer”) sued Craft Brew Alliance, Inc. (“CBA”), alleging statutory consumer protection and common law claims based on representations that the Kona Beers are brewed in Hawaii when Plaintiffs claim they are not. CBA denies the allegations in the lawsuit.
The Settlement allows Class Members who submit timely and valid Claim Forms, without proof of purchase, to recover up to $10 per household, depending on the number of eligible Kona Beers purchased. Class Members who submit timely and valid Claim Forms, with proof of purchase, can recover up to $20 per household, depending on the number of eligible Kona Beers purchased. The following payments can be claimed for each eligible Kona Beer:
i. 4-pack Kona Beers: $1.25 per unit
ii. 6-pack Kona Beers: $1.25 per unit
iii. 12-pack Kona Beers: $2.00 per unit
iv. 24-pack Kona Beers: $2.75 per unit
Submit a Claim Form By October 7, 2019
This is the only way to receive a monetary payment from the Settlement. By remaining in the Settlement, whether or not you submit a Claim Form, you will give up any rights to sue CBA separately about the same legal claims in this lawsuit.
