Delicious beer, friendly staff and nice customers! Don't be deterred by the coffee shop (shared space) closing. Cool glasses with a little bit of gold in the bottom. Highly recommend to rest your feet and enjoy. read more

The staff was very nice and the beer was good. By no means the best beer I've ever had but that's up to personal opinion. The establishment was clean and comfortable. Definitely worth going to for a casual drink. read more

Such a great spot to stop in for a unique and delicious brew in Ketchikan. Look closely for this unique pub. It's hidden in plain view yet easy to walk by. read more

We had the banana beer and a hefeweizen. The assistant brewer was friendly and knowledgeable. The place is quite small as it shares the space with a coffee shop. We almost missed it walking by it. Prices are reasonable especially compared to on our cruise ship. It's in walking distance to the cruise terminal. Bring a sticker from your local brewery and they will display it. The owner AL is a master brewer who studied in Bavaria. read more

Upon arriving the Beertender was very pleasant and gave wonderful service. The beers were good

Hiding in the back of Local Grounds coffee is a tiny brewery behind double swinging doors. The bartender was very friendly and helped us pick out beer from their tap list. I settled on the Dimension B and my partner got the bananaweissen with fresh banana puree. Both beers were good, but rather pricy compared to other drinks in town. We easily found some comfy chairs to enjoy the drinks. Would recommend if you're in town! read more

This brewing location shares a space with a coffee stop, but you'll need to enter the brewing side through a fun swinging wooden door. They have a few seats and a wraparound bar area that you'll order at. Bar tender was quick and friendly. The menu was easy to read, and they had several offerings to choose from. The atmosphere was a touch odd in that it shares the space with another business, but they separate it well and have each decorated very differently once you're inside! Overall: A Good stop for a quick local beer spot! read more

Stopped in while in Ketchikan for a local beer. Very small blink and miss kinda place. Very small and nothing fancy, inside the coffee store, kinda in a closet feel. The barkeep was nice, ambiance was so-so, you smelled the bagels and onions more. It was just a quick stop. So off to the next place. read more

Baleen Brewing was a fantastic stop in our time at Ketchikan! Sharing a building with the coffee shop, Baleen is serving up several beer standards along with some twists. The wonderfully friendly and informative Jon invited us to try the Abbey style smoked with cottonwood, as well as the Alt Bier frothed up with a heated metal stick. I've never had either of these at a brewery before! The Flanders ale was also delicious. Definitely stop in for a nice beer after a rainy walk here! Make sure to chat with Jon. read more

Short walk from the cruise dock. Super cute brewery in Ketchikan. We loved the decor, IPA, and good customer service. read more

Sub-leased location inside a coffee shop? Interesting! Baleen is the most "Saloon" as you can get in the modern day. $10 for a 12 ounce pour is pretty pricy for a black and tan. Luckily, the beer was pretty delicious. You can't take your beer out of the area around the bar. Can't take it to the coffee shop, and can't take it into the virtual golf area. Overall, I'm glad I got to try Ketchikan's brewery, but it didn't blow my socks off. Its aight, especially for that pricing. read more

I'm not saying that I'm in love with the beer, but what a cool place, with a cool brewer serving you beer. I'm currently kicked back on a comfy couch, playing with their adorable Pomeranian named Luna. I'm enjoying trying variance of beer flavor additives combined with their flagship stout. Very cool place. Wish I could hang out here and do my homework or something, if I was still a school person. The personalized interactions with the Brewer is something you don't get to do in a lot of places unless they're tiny like this. Stop by and see how they maintain a flawless rating. read more

Came here while waiting for coffee next door, that experience was not the best. BUT you know what was the best!?! John's friendliness and welcoming spirit!!

If you find yourself in Ketchikan make sure you stop by and enjoy the brews and friendly service, you won't be disappointed. read more

Great place to grab a refreshing beer! They also have a coffee shop attached that smelled great.

I enjoyed the Absolution Abbey Style Ale after a day cruise and it hit the spot! Light and refreshing with notes of red fruits and served in a delightful gold dust glass! Great bartender answered my questions and was super friendly. I am looking forward to my next visit to Ketchikan and another stop at Baleen Brewing!! read more

Full disclosure: my best friend and I are beer snobs. Only really hoppy beers will do, so that's what we had, and that's what I can attest to. 1). The IPA was as good as any. Period. It has the perfect balance between being too hoppy and being like a session. 2) the APA was darn near as good as the IPA (my buddy liked it BETTER). It's hoppy without having that bitter 'bite' that some people don't like in IPA's. I like em both just about equally! I wish we had more time to sample more of their beers, but unfortunately we'll have to wait until our next fishing trip to Ketchikan (which, luckily, is only in 4 months). Good job guys, keep up the good brew. read more
