Alaskan Brewing Co. is the proud pioneer that broke the stateâs postâProhibition beer drought, and itâs been churning out bold, sustainable drafts in Juneau since 1986. Its lineup ranges from the wellârounded Amberâa reliable classic that could convince even a teetotalerâs mumâto the crisp, adventureâinspired WILDNESS, a brew that tastes like a coldâsnap wind over a glacier (the sort of thing you canât fake). Awards line the walls, proof that the brewery isnât just a nostalgic novelty but a serious contender in the craft arena.
The operation isnât a single cramped cellar; it spreads across three distinct venues. The Tasting Room offers a polished pour, the Brewing Depot gives a behindâtheâscenes glimpse, and the waterfront Public House serves up the same quality with a view that would make a postcard jealous. Visitors enjoy a free shuttle to the tasting room, a dogâfriendly patio where even the mutts look refined, and an onâsite food truck that keeps hunger at bay. For those who fancy a bit of theater, the shuttle ride doubles as a quickâfire tour, sprinkling the journey with trivia and a wink at the breweryâs commitment to community and ecoâconsciousness.
Reviewers praised Alaskan Brewing Co for its excellent beers, including the Island Ale and hard seltzers, which were highly enjoyable. The company's unique atmosphere, with many locations offering dog-friendly patios, was also a highlight.
