What to do and see in Alaska, United States: The Best Breweries

April 7, 2022 Russell Mellin

Alaska is divided into five regions: far north, interior, southwest, south central, and inside passage. Although it takes a long time to see the entire state, you can travel through the regions by boat, car, bus, or plane. Hike through the mountains, or venture out on a deep sea fishing or whale watching excursion. Get in touch with nature by camping in the wilderness, or experience your preferred degree of class and luxury in the beautiful, active cities of Anchorage and Fairbanks.

Girdwood Brewing Company

Enjoy local brews and epic views of the Chugach mountains at Girdwood Brewing Company. We have a beautiful timber framed taproom adorned with local art and ski relics. For those who prefer the outdoors, there’s an awesome beer garden with fire pits and plenty of seating. We offer up four core beers and a series of rotating taps. Root beer, cold brew coffee, and kombucha are available for those looking for an alcohol free beverage. Tasters and 12 ounce pours are available to drink in the taproom. If you are looking for beer to go, we fill growlers, sell 5 gallon kegs, and have 4-packs of 16 ounce cans with labels designed by Alaskan artists (for sale in the taproom only). Food trucks are on-site every day, and we have cool merchandise for you to take home. Girdwood Brewing Company is truly rooted in our community. We donate to a number of nonprofits and outdoor adventure organizations. Our brewery also provides year round employment to over a dozen locals.

Production micro brewery providing "Fresh Traditional Country Ales" To Go and limited consumption on premise. Retail area with beer gear. Friendly and informed staff. On tap in Homer.

Reviewed By Resamhor

When even your friend who doesn’t like beer drinks this beer, you know it’s good. Consistently good quality. Modest selection of sodas for non-alc drinkers. As with many tasting rooms, there’s limited indoor seating but more outdoor seating when it’s warm out. Resident cat is a bonus.
