July 3, 2019 -LIQUOR COMMISSION MINUTES 13 Nahale-a: Thank you. Any public testimony for this application? There was no public testimony. Nahale-a: Seeing none, commissioners, discussion or questions of applicant? Greenwell: Help educate me. Are you mixing liquor, alcohol, with the chocolate? Potter: No, not the chocolate, but just the regular ingredients. Like the juice that comes out of the cocoa fruit. So just as flavoring. Greenwell: So, it's flavoring added to a drink? VanEgtern: We're going to utilize the liquor license to make cocktails that are chocolate inspired, like a chocolate espresso martini or a cocoa old fashion. We're not putting liquor into our chocolate bars. Those are 100 percent non-alcoholic, because you can't put any liquids into chocolate without destroying the temper of the chocolate. But what we would like to do is make a chocolate bar that has inspired cocktails from chocolate. There is a fruit pulp around all the cocoa beans and we collect the juice on the first day of the fermentation. Then we pasteurize that and usually use that as samples; but another thing that you can utilize that juice for is an inspired mai tai using that liquid, as well as a margarita and possibly a cocoa mimosa using that liquid. Greenwell: Do you have any competition? Is anybody else on the island doing the same thing you're doing? Potter: No one is. Nahale-a: Interesting. VanEgtern: Thanks. Greenwell: okay. Nahale-a: Any questions? Discussion? Thomas: I have a question. Are the beverages meant to be just sold and sampled on the premises or are you going to package them so people can take them out? VanEgtern: Alcoholic ones only for the shop and we probably won't be able to ever have enough production to do bottled types or to sell later on in the future; but you never know, someday. Thomas: Right. Thank you. Nahale-a: Any other questions? There were no other questions from the commissioners.

New Business Nahale-a: (10:27 A.M.) No. 1, Pacific Aqua Beverages, LLC, dba Mehana Brewing, discussion of request to add Kai Vodka in tasting room. We will wait for Brandon to discuss this item. 'I. Pacific Aqua Beverages, LLC, dba Mehana Brewing, discussion of request to add Kai Vodka in tasting room, to their Manufacturer Beer liquor license, located at 275 East Kawili Street, Hilo, Hawaii. Gonzalez: Pacific Aqua Beverages, better known as Mehana Brewing, is asking permission from the Department and the Commission so they can offer tastings of the Kai Vodka in their tasting room in .addition to their beer samples. They own both brands, Kai Vodka and all the beers and that is the reason they're asking to offer that in their tasting room. We support their request. Thomas: Where's their tasting room? Gonzalez: Their tasting room is located at Mehana Brewing, 275 East Kawili Street. Thomas: Okay. Nahale-a: Mr. Vice chair? Greenwell: Brandon, are they going to be selling the Kai Vodka or is it just a tasting, a promotion? Gonzalez: The tasting rooms offer samples of the products that are brewed or manufactured to people Visiting the tasting rooms that are over 21. Greenwell: Are they paying for it or is it manuahi (free of charge)? Gonzalez: I am not sure. Greenwell: My question is, if they're not paying for it, if it's just a sample for them to try, do they still come before the Commission for this? Gonzalez: Yes. Hughes: They're charging, by the way. Gonzalez: They're charging? Greenwell: They are being charged? July 3, 2019 - LIQUOR COMMISSION MINUTES 19 Gonzalez: What I recall is they give samples but they have a tasting tour where they give you a flight of the different types and you taste that and pay for that. They have a beverage cooler in there as well where you can get bigger sizes as well. Hughes: You can buy growlers and things like that. Would you be able to buy the vodka there, though? Gonzalez: The communications we have don't give me any information on whether or not you can buy the vodka there. The request is simply to offer it as a tasting there. Nahale-a: Is it manufactured at the same location? Gonzalez: No, currently Kai Vodka is manufactured on Maui, if I recall correctly. They have been exploring the possibility of opening a manufacturing center on this island, which would be beneficial to both sides. Stacie will try to contact Scott (Thompson). They don't manufacture it there presently, but they have been exploring the possibility of doing their vodka manufacturing on this island. Arakaki: With their current liquor license, they are allowed to sell products from their store. Does that include distilled beverages as well? Gonzalez: That is a good question. Yes, they are allowed to manufacture and sell for consumption there, and sell for consumption off -premises, what they manufacture there. What other kinds of questions? Arakaki: I understand the request was not necessarily to sell the spirits but just to taste it. Thomas: Yes, to have a sample. Arakaki: So I guess, that's a moot point at this time. Nahale-a: But if their license allows for what's manufactured on premises, then the Kai Vodka is outside of that because it's not manufactured (here), right? Masuda: As far as sales.

This is about the second or third time it's come up for these tour boat operators with off- site storage. Gonzalez: Yes. Greenwell: Is there any additional security that's needed for this beer and wine that's supposedly stored off-site that maybe nobody's monitoring 24 hours a day? Gonzalez: That's a good question. That's the purpose of the application existing. If they have to store their alcohol off-site, off the vessel, which is becoming more common because the space on the vessel is limited, then they submit the application and we actually inspect the location to make sure it can be secured and locked and that access is limited. Some of them have temperature controls, some do not. It is part of the process. That's what our inspectors verify as part of the application process. Greenwell: Thank you.

Salave`a: I have a question, Madam Chair, for Brandon. Is there an issue or (are there) restrictions with someone who is convicted of a felony and is an officer of an entity who holds a liquor license? I don't know what the standard is. Gonzalez: Could you restate the question? Salave`a: Is there an issue or restrictions with someone convicted of a felony who is serving as an officer for an entity that has a liquor license? July 3, 2019 - LIQUOR COMMISSION MINUTES 35 Gonzalez: Yes. As part of the commission's authority and responsibility in granting or denying liquor licenses, part of your review is to determine whether or not the people associated with the company holding the license are "good." There's a specific term in the Statute that I'm trying to find now, but it's part of your inquiry and your diligence to find it. It is part of the inquiry. It's not a flat out bar or rejection to issuing or having a license, but it's part of the things you will take into consideration. Hughes: Do you bring that to our attention? Gonzalez: Yes. Masuda: What happens is when they do the license check on the Licensee, they also check on who the majority shareholders are and they cannot hold more than 25 percent of any liquor establishment. Part of the reason is from the prohibition days. That's the way it is. If you are a convicted felon, then they look at the amount of interest you have in that business entity. Salave`a: Then the question of their fitness to serve as an officer for that entity is part of our decision-making process? Masuda: Yes. In this case, what you have is Vernon Lindsey coming out of the business entity. Salave`a: okay. That's very clear. lbarra: With these merger issues, we're not approving the merger itself. We're approving the license because they have to go through (the) DCCA or other legal requirements, right? We're just approving the license. Masuda: Yes, that's exactly so and that's an important fact. The merger can still occur with or without your approval. What happens is the license doesn't transfer. If (the) DCCA says no to the merger, there's no vessel to put the license in anyway. Ibarra: And similarly) with the liabilities that is dissolved or extinguished as a result of the merger for a new entity being born. Masuda: Right. In some cases, depending on how the merger is set up, and that's what Stacie also checks, sometimes there's a totally new license because they don't want to pick up the liabilities of the prior establishment. Instead of having just a merger to a new company, a new business entity merging, actually, they'll want to come in with a new business entity instead of merging so they don't pick up the old liabilities. Salave`a: okay. Thank you. Nahale-a: We were in open discussion. There's no motion on the floor. Salave`a: Move to approve and accept. July 3, 2019 -LIQUOR COMMISSION MINUTES 36 Greenwell: Second.

The motion was carried unanimously. Scott Thompson, General Manager, arrived at 10:50 A.M. Nahale-a: Good morning. We are going to return to New Business No. 1, Pacific Aqua Beverages, LLC, dba Mehana Brewing, for the discussion of request to add Kai Vodka in tasting room. Could you identify yourself for us and relationship to the business? Thompson: Good morning, I'm Scott Thompson. I'm operations Manager for Pacific Aqua Beverages. Nahale-a: Thank you. Greenwell: May I stark it off? Nahale-a: Yes, Mr. Vice chair, go ahead. Greenwell: Scott, my question was, would Kai Vodka be sold or will it be for tasting purposes? July 3, 2019 -LIQUOR COMMISSION MINUTES 37 Thompson: Just tasting purposes. We won't be selling it out of there, just for sampling purposes. Greenwell: okay, then my question to the Department would be why are you coming if it's only for a tasting, not a sale item? Thompson: Mainly just for advertising because it's one of our other products; just to get it out there to the public. When we open our other location, eventually, it'll be sold there. Greenwell: It will be sold there. But then you would come for a license? Thompson: Yes, that's going to be a separate location altogether; a full -on bar. Greenwell: This here wouldn't cover sales of Kai Vodka? Thompson: No, because it would be a different location. Greenwell: Help me, Brandon. Gonzalez: Currently the entity that Mr. Thompson represents has a Manufacturer license and the Rule, under 3-1(B) states that... Masuda: That's page 18 if you want to follow along. Gonzalez: for product tasting, they need to get commission approvals. That's why they're here. Masuda: I'm sorry, that's page 18 of your Rules, not of the packet. Gonzalez: That's the short answer. He's just following the rules to bring to the attention of the commission his intent and his idea to get permission to be able to provide product tasting. The Rule requires it. Masuda: Usually, as a Manufacturer, you have tastings for the items that you produce at that site. What we understand is that, currently, Kai Vodka is not produced on site. Thompson: No, it's not. Masuda: Also, because it's not produced on site, it says in Section B of 3-1, that only items produced on that Manufacturer's site can be sold retail. So, they can't sell Vodka if they wanted to, at this time, on this site. Greenwell: It would have to be a complimentary tasting only? Masuda: Yes. But because it's something not manufactured there, they come before the Commission to be proper and get permission from the commission. Greenwell: okay, thank you. July 3, 2019 -LIQUOR COMMISSION MINUTES 38 Thomas: I have one more question. Is Kai Vodka just one product or does Kai Vodka come in a couple of different lines? Thompson: There's five flavors of Kai Vodka, but it's essentially one product, Kai Vodka. But there's lychee, coconut, a regular vodka, five flavors. Thomas: okay, thank you. Thompson: You're welcome. salave`a: Just for clarification, the tour is a paid tour? Thompson: No, we don't do paid tours. People just walk in, nothing's scheduled. People come just off the street. Hughes: Just paid flight? Thompson: Yes, for the beer, presently. Gonzalez: They have a dedicated tasting room where they have the tasti'ngs, where they verify the age of the people tasting, and they also have a card holder to make sure that for any sales, it follows the liquor laws. To give you a little more information, the reason why we require product tasting applications, especially for premises that are licensed for alcohol, is if they're bringing in alcohol that is not part of their normal inventory, it's a supply chain safeguard mechanism to make sure for the alcohol being dispensed on premises, what the sources are, and where it's coming from. Gonzalez: We routinely get a lot of applications for tasting permits for, say, a bar that wants to bring in different types of alcohol instead of beer; or if they have just a beer license and they want to bring in wine for a wine tasting, that kind of thing. The most common ones are when (for instance) Target has the wine lady in front of the store every weekend; those are the most common product tasting applications we get. Because it's not a brand on the shelves in the store, but they may be thinking of bringing it in, they have that product tasting available. That's the rationale behind -the product tasting applications besides what Craig had talked about the manufacturer portion. Nahale-a: Any further questions? There were no further questions from the Commissioners. Nahale-a: Our motion would be to... Gonzalez: Approve or deny the request to allow tasting of Kai Vodka in the tasting room. salave`a: Did we have a motion on the floor? Nahale-a: No, no motion. It has not been moved. Jury 3, 2019 -LIQUOR COMMISSION MINUTES 39 onizuka: Move to approve. Thomas: I'll second. Hughes: I'll second.
