Double Shovel Cider Company (Craft Beer & Brewery in Anchorage AK)

Double Shovel Cider Co. sprang onto Alaska’s beverage scene as the state’s inaugural micro‑cidery, trading in the usual polar‑bear blandness for crisp, dry ciders that actually taste like the Last Frontier. Every batch draws on hand‑picked apples from Alaska and the Pacific Northwest, so the flavour profile is as rugged as the landscape – bright, clean and unapologetically non‑sweet. The product line rolls out in recyclable cans and on draft, and, as a bonus, everything is naturally gluten‑free, which makes it a safe bet for even the most finicky palate.

The operation boasts two spacious tap rooms – one in Anchorage, the other in Kodiak – each equipped with sunny outdoor patios and a dog‑friendly vibe (because nothing says “home” like a hound with a cold). Patrons can pair their drink with an ever‑rotating lineup of food‑truck snacks while scrolling through a rotating postcard program that ships personalised greetings worldwide. The cider roster includes farm‑inspired varieties and standout blends such as Pepper Peak and Grapefruit Lavender, while a well‑stocked merchandise range, designed by Alaskans, lets you wear your enthusiasm with pride. Keg reservations are a breeze, ensuring that whether you’re hosting a party or simply craving a taste of adventure, Double Shovel delivers the genuine, handcrafted quality it promises.
