We always love to visit local brewery's when on the go. We were cruising thru Alaska from California and needed to stop here we were big fans of Brewery's. We had a Quick flight and just people watched on their outdoor patio. Such a neat spot and their food selection looked very good but didn't get a chance to try it but would love to come back. The service was great as soon as we sat they helped us out quick and were very friendly.. the beer selections were great! As you enter you can seat yourself as well which is cool! Tables are up for grabs as you enter as well. There was a cool souvenir shop right next door with some cool merch a bit on the pricier side but they had some cool items and t-shirts. We enjoyed our beer and just relaxing before having to board our cruise again. Would def come back if we are ever in Alaska again. read more

They told us it would be a 45 minute wait then it was 10! Nice beer garden to wait in with live music and lots of friendly dogs. Our service was rough. Young man seemed to not speak good English? Strange for a server in Anchorage. We had to ask for napkins, side plates and water. Crab was good but pricy. My husband and son got the yak burgers. They really enjoyed them. They said there was a sweet flavor to them. Side salads were sad iceberg lettuce. Good beers and a good meal. Skip the side salad. read more

I wanted to eat king crab legs while in Alaska, and this place delivered exactly what I wanted! They were ginormous, perfectly steamed and served with delicious butter. My daughter got the bbq sampler with smoked salmon, elk sausage and brisket. She wasn't a fan of the brisket, but we ate from Texas and are used to it being different. This place was busy, but very efficient and everyone was friendly. A nice place to grab a bite to eat on their outdoor seating area. read more

Glad we came to this slightly out of town location. It was quiet when we arrived around 12:30 on a summer Saturday and was filling as we left. Large space inside and more out back. There was one food truck open during our visit. Friendly bartender, good beer selection and some non-alcoholic offerings as well for any non-drinkers or DDs in the group. Great visit! The sour was nice, as were the two non-alcoholic sodas I sampled. My husband particularly enjoyed the smoked porter. read more

Popped into Alaskan Brewing when we got off our cruise ship in Juneau. Sat at the bar and had nice, prompt service from the bartenders. I ordered a Spruce Cherry Grapefruit Seltzer, which was light and refreshing with great flavor. They had a large number of taps with their beer as well as a full bar and to-go beers. They also had a nice looking food menu with a good selection of seafood and sandwiches. They also had a large gift shop with a number of Alaskan Brewing merch. Would highly recommend this stop to anyone in port! read more

We stopped in the brewery on a rainy day in port during a cruise. I really liked their tasting room and the gift shop that had a lot of fun Alaskan beer logo merchandise, and we wished that we were able to take a growler of beer home with us! My husband tried a flight of several beers, and he enjoyed it. I had a green apple seltzer, and it was a refreshing different drink besides beer. They also were selling a house-made gin, but we had each already maxed out our duty-free alcohol allowance. We enjoyed a pizza from the nearby food truck with our beers. It was a fun visit and definitely worth the effort to get here from downtown! read more

If you're in Juneau and don't stop at Alaskan Brewing Company, the salmon will rise from the harbor and revoke your Alaskan privileges. Not necessarily because of the food, but absolutely because of the beer and views. Let's start with the fish nuggets...oh yes, fish nuggets. Not to be confused with chicken, or gold. These were pure, unfiltered seafood glory in bite-sized form. Were they a little dry? Sure. But that's just Alaska's way of telling you to drink more beer. We obliged. We're nothing if not respectful guests. Next up, the Caesar salad. A Caesar salad with pine nuts. Let me repeat that. Pine. Nuts. Whoever thought of that deserves a raise and probably their own floatplane. It was crunchy, creamy, nutty, and I'm pretty sure my wife made eye contact with her salad like it was a long-lost lover. Luckily, I'm not the jealous type. Now let's talk beer. Yeah, cold, crisp, and so refreshing I considered pouring it on my head like a shampoo commercial. The Alaskan IPA hits just right: bold but smooth, like if a lumberjack learned jazz piano. Pro tip: Add a bit of orange juice to it to make it a hoppy orange shandy. Perfection! But the real showstopper? The view. You're posted up in the harbor, watching the cruise ships glide in like massive floating buffets. It's part beer garden, part people zoo. Bonus points for the seagull that judged me the entire time from the railing -- 10/10 winged sass. Would I come back? Absolutely. Would I order extra beer to rehydrate my fish nuggets? Without question. Would I move into the harbor just for the vibes? Tempting. Very tempting. read more

When in Juneau, it's pretty much a requirement to visit the amazing Alaskan Brewing Company, which has become an iconic American beer brand with their widely distributed brews like Alaskan Amber. In fact, they've become such a Juneau institution that they've opened up a separate beer hall in the downtown area. However, personally, I wanted to visit their mother lode location: the brewery located on the outskirts of town. And for this, yes, we actually rented a car! We arrived via cruise ship in May, and (after running a few errands), headed to the brewery. We got there right when they opened, so they weren't very busy yet. The tasting room is beautiful, with lots of wood and a ginormous Alaskan Brewing merch zone where you can get, well, just about anything you want with their logo. There were many items devoted just to specific beers. Did I almost buy an Alaskan Amber hoodie? Heck yeah! We were excited to try a few tasters before ordering a pint or two to enjoy before heading back to the ship. This is a must-visit brewery if you find yourself in Juneau! read more

So this is probably the best kept secret in Juneau. Free ride from downtown to the brewery and tasting room for America's best amber beer. IMHO, this is the gold standard of Ambers. Their other beers are good, but this is awesome - smooth and tasty. We got two flights of three and while others are good, I do recommend trying the Smoked beer. Reminiscent of the German smoke beers and equally smooth. They also non alcoholic options, which are good but very sweet. Lots of souvenirs products to remind you of Alaska's premier brewery and the magical origin of America's best Amber! Highly recommend this as something to do takes about 90 minutes and leaves from the Alaska Brewery Public House (near the cruise ships) on the half hours. P.s. I don't recommend leaving your glasses behind. But if you do make that mistake, their manager was so awesome to run them downtown so I could get them before my ship sailed! That kind of customer service is brewed into their fantastic brews!! read more

The beer was great but the bartender Stan was an absolute jerk. Rude, dismissive and condescending. Kept talking about how he is quitting the job now that he has a degree he is out. Just rude read more

Food was very good, ambiance was pub like, busy, the dining is upstairs. They have a n elevator and stairs. Service was weird, didn't make sense and the server was always running, when I commented on how busy he was as a compliment he started arguing saying he wasn't busy, there went that excuse. Fun atmosphere, eight of us were satisfied! read more

We had a quick visit in Juneau and we're looking for a place to rest before we had an excursion. We loved the Alaskan Brewing Company. Everyone was so nice, great drinks, IPAs, and had a great app. I know they get busy, and they serve people from all over the world, and sometimes that can make waitstaff jaded, but our server was so friendly from the get go. We didn't sit on the patio, but it looked like an amazing place to spend a warm sunny day. And the inside was so clean, well decorated, and they had very clean bathrooms. Highly recommend this establishment. read more

We have been big supporters of Alaskan Amber beer since tasting it on an Alaska trip a decade ago. Unfortunately, it's not available in Florida, but we enjoy it in the parts of our country that sell it. We visited this place during a cruise stop and it didn't disappoint! read more

Perfect spot for a quick lunch or drink at the end of the day! There's an inside area, a kind of garage area with exposed walls, and a full patio making for tons of seating. I was so surprised by the full food menu - the loaded mac n cheese was so good, even the salad and corn side were full of flavor! Of course great beer list as well as cocktails!

Steer clear. From the waiter vaping while fetching drinks, to the awful chemical-tasting fries, pigeons feeding IN the restaurant, and finally outrageous over-pricing, do yourself a favor and skip. Being located so close to disembarking tourists has made this whole operation lazy and low effort. Not representing Alaska well. read more

Stopped here for a snack and a beer and really enjoyed it. Helpful and knowledgeable staff, a fun ambiance, and REALLY good beer. I love IPA's, and thoroughly enjoyed the Icy Bay one. If you're stopping by Juneau, you have to try one. They also have a brewery tasting with a free shuttle- we didn't make the time but after having a couple beers I wish we would have. The beer cheese soup was alright, not easy to eat without ample bread. read more

Alaskan Brewing Company: it's fine. This is, by far, the biggest brewery in Alaska. In fact, it's the 14th largest craft brewery in the US. Why? I'm not really sure. Maybe because it's been around a long time? There's nothing offensive about their beer, but there's nothing noteworthy about it either. It's beer you could give your Mom, your Grandpa, your Dad, or your younger sibling that just turned 21 and they would all say "huh...uh...not bad". For me...that's almost worse than if I disliked their beer. This beer is aimless. It has no vision. It's unchallenging, it's middle-of-the-road. It doesn't have convictions. Maybe you don't care about that though. I thought the taproom at the brewery might have some more racy/unique/challenging/innovative beers. Well, they did have some unique beers only available at the brewery but, they were just OK. A-OK. Fine. Alaskan Brewing beer is fine. The taproom itself was bright and clean. Almost too bright and clean. It almost felt more like you were in a Target store than in a brewery taproom. Easily the best thing about this place were the staff. Super-attentive and super bubbly. They reminded me of camp counselors. Unless, like me, you are just coming here to check a box so you can say you went to every brewery in Alaska...there really isn't much reason to come here. It's not really close to anything. Coming here would be a special trip. I'd highly recommend you go the breweries in downtown Juneau or in Auke Bay instead. They've got character and individuality. Also, can we talk about how it's odd that the name is 'Alaskan' Brewing rather than 'Alaska' Brewing? That's generally used to referred to a resident of Alaska, not as an adjective? Ever heard of Oregonian Brewing? What about Washingtonian Brewing? Ok, then, how about Californian Brewing? read more

Very unwelcoming bar staff, came in on a cruise port day, one of the last for the year, so I was surprised with the complete lack of customer service. As stated, we came off a cruise ship so I was hoping to get some WIFI to catch up a little. I was told there wasn't any WIFI at Alaska Brewing, but they referred me to another restaurant and bar a few blocks away. So I had one beer and left, only to find out from their competitors location that all of Juneau has free WIFI everywhere. So I stayed there and had food and drinks, I guess Alaska Brewing didn't need or want my money that day. We didn't stay long enough to eat but other cruise mates indicated the same lack of customer appreciation and bad food experiences. read more

Drinks were good, but found the food disappointing. Pork was all fat and the soup came out cold. Probably would have preferred if the corn came out hot. I would stop by for drinks but the food needs some work read more

Called the Alaska brewing company and ask them to reconsider their ties with the Iditarod, which tortures and kills dogs for the sake of entertainment making dogs run in bitter cold horrific thousand mile race to the detriment of their own. Cindy answered the phone before I could get five words out- hung up On me...tried more three times for which she proceeded to try to talk over me and hung up again and again.and finally the fourth time a gentleman by the name of Charlie, answer the phone.... it's shameful that you have to tell the people that work for a company how to handle customers and be polite about it. this is what's wrong with the world and why it is in the state that it is. People are so quickly to judge instead of having morals and values, especially when it comes to run in a company. You really have to know who you're hiring that's representing companies, such as Alaska brewing. And just a note Cindy you're a reflection of that company every time you hang up the phone on customers I am in town visiting and have a group of 20, but we will make our reservations elsewhere. read more

Spent some time in Juneau when we docked (via cruise). Decided on this restaurant to grab something "light" in that we weren't that hungry. We were greeted warmly, and the server was very nice. Not a big eating area, but quite sufficient; outside seating is also available. I ordered the clam chowder; my husband ordered the wings and pretzel sticks. My clam chowder was oh so yummy. Not sure of their secret, but the chowder was delicious! We weren't too crazy about the sauce on the wings, but they were decent wings. Can't go wrong with warm pretzels. :o) Overall, we enjoyed our "lunch." Note, apparently this place is famous for its beer, but since we don't do beer, we can't comment on that! read more

After visiting Mendenhall Glacier this past July, my Dad and I ventured over to Alaskan Brewing Company to do a beer tasting. We met our "guide" in the public tasting room and then moved back to the private tasting room. Our "guide" was Laura from Colorado and she did an amazing job of explaining the history of the company in addition to the craft of craft beer. It was actually a really informative tasting and I loved hearing about how to company got started in addition to employee brew opportunities. After our tastings in the private room, we went back into the public tasting room and met expert Ted and manager Will. Our tasting at Alaskan Brewing Company was definitely a highlight of our trip. I'd definitely recommend checking out the tasting coupon in the Alaska Tour Saver book (buy one tasting, get one tasting free in the 2019 book). This was a particularly special stop because my Dad fell in love with the Alaskan Amber over our five week trip and it was neat to learn so much about the awesome, environmentally friendly brewery that brews it! read more

We got an amazing fish and chips plate. The only thing I wasn't really amazed with is the size of the fish! Being in Alaska you would think fish isn't as expensive as other states, however, it was a tiny piece of fish for a pretty large price. Having that said the taste was great and the food was good but I wouldn't eat there anymore, instead, I would get a drink and call it a day! read more

This review pertains to the taproom of Alaskan Brewing itself as the location for this Yelp entry is the location for the taproom. This taproom isn't easy to reach if you are on foot or coming from the cruise ships to see Juneau. You will need a bus, a rental or get a ride to the taproom somehow to enjoy this taproom. The taproom has a lot of their flagship beers that you can get bottled in the continental states as well as more limited batches or exclusives for the taproom as well. My main focus was on those types of beers since they aren't easily obtainable. These types of beers I really enjoyed like a Cold IPA for example which is rapidly becoming my favorite IPA at the moment, a Strawberry Haze IPA which was extremely limited and was very enjoyable to have. I believe the last one is a little more common, the Citrus Wheat which was good as well. Always enjoy those wheat beers! The Depot downtown is a clothing store for Alaskan Brewing's merchandise but they have a decent selection of clothing here as well. It's about the same inventory you'd see at the Depot. There is a nearby food truck which is fortunate and you can come back to the taproom and enjoy your meal with a beer! read more

Great beer, terrible food. We ordered smoked salmon and smoked halibut. It LOOKED pretty appetizing, but it was all bad. The halibut came out cold as the fridge they pulled it from. We got a replacement, but it just tasted like an over cooked piece of halibut. No smoke flavor and so dry. The bbq sauce would have helped moisten it, but they barely put a teaspoon on it. The salmon was inedible. Two, 1 ounce tail pieces about 1/4 in thick and I'm guessing over-microwaved on the reheat as it was like jerky cardboard. It literally made a knocking sound when I tapped my plastic fork against it. We thought maybe it was a fluke on our salmon, but a guest next to us that ordered it said theirs was terrible as well. In hindsight after ordering and re-reviewing the menu, it's obvious everything is heated in a microwave and someone in the kitchen doesn't know how to use said microwave. Our male server seemed disinterested. He left halfway through service and we had a female server finish the transaction. She was friendly and polite and I wish we'd had her from the start. Would I come back? No. The beer is great, but you can buy it in a store. The food should have been a nice compliment to the beers, but instead it ruined the experience altogether. read more

Perfect post hike refreshment. A group of 15 of us hiked at a Eagle Creat and came here for drinks and food. Between allllll the beer, the seltzers the canned cocktails, and the zero proof drinks there was something for everyone. Combined with three food trucks with fish, pizza and burger options our entire group wanted for nothing. Great little patio with plenty of room to spread out eat and drink. read more

Not too much to say about this spot other than it has good beer and it's clean and a cool enough atmosphere.
