The landmark Honolulu Brew & Malt Co., also known as the Royal Brewery, was built in 1900 and soon began producing Primo Lager. Operations were suspended during Prohibition then resumed here until 1960. The Primo brand was reintroduced in 2007 by the Pabst Brewing Company and is popular in Hawaii. This building on Queen Street has not been as lucky. It has been vacant since 1998.
