Bleeding Heart Brewery absolutely nailed it. I stopped in for lunch and had the prosciutto mac & cheese, and wow--this is hands down one of the best mac & cheeses I've ever had. Rich, creamy, perfectly balanced, and the prosciutto takes it to another level without overpowering the dish. I've also had their brunch, and the salmon with cream cheese and capers deserves a shoutout. The salmon is not dry (which is rare), and the bagel is toasted just right--not overly crunchy, just perfect. The outdoor seating is awesome, especially if you ride. This is easily one of the better spots to pull up on a motorcycle and enjoy a solid meal. Bonus points for the atmosphere. And the staff? Absolutely unreal--in the best way. Crazy friendly, welcoming, and they genuinely go out of their way to make you feel like part of their crew instead of just another customer. Great food, great vibes, great people. I'll be back--often. read more

Awesome vibe!!! Food is unique, well composed, and tasty. Beer isn't too bad either. ;) Would come here over and over. Wish their clothing had some logos that were full color (would live to advertise for them). read more

Bleeding Heart Brewery - Breweries Near Me - Palmer, Alaska

This super cute Palmer brewery definitely lived up to the hype. We stopped by early on a Sunday morning. They were serving a yummy brunch but unfortunately we didn't have the time to partake. We needed a few tasters to be able to fill a few growlers. Blood Brothers and Brojito is what we chose. Bleeding Heart definitely has the most unique and largest selection of beer on-tap that I've seen in Alaska thus far. Employees were warm and helpful. Their indoor and outdoor space is a vibe worth experiencing. The only con is you have to use a port-a-potty in the parking lot to relieve yourself...I held it till our next stop. We can't wait to return. read more

This tiny place packs a punch. It's too classy to be a dive. But it's also eclectic and intriguing and, all around, just awesome. I was telling a friend about it the other day and, I was so animated, he said I should treat it like a coffee shop. Just go and read, journal, hang out. I had not envisioned it that way, but it made perfect sense when he said it. Their motto, "Drink like you give a damn!" sort of sums them up in a phrase. I appreciate they are friendly. I appreciate they have "normal" beers and they also have exciting beers that push boundaries and flavor patterns. I appreciate they have a simple menu that is always changing (though I could eat their banh mi any day of the week). They always seems legitimately excited about the food they are serving and it is always really, REALLY good. They chef is welcoming and kind and he seems to really enjoy cooking. I appreciate the outdoor seating in the summer and the comfy benches and seats indoors. Notables - Bleeding Heart is closed on Monday's. It's possible to walk through a gate and get to Matanuska Brewing. Alaska Pickers share this space with Bleeding Heart and, when the hours line up, you can peruse the shop while you sip on a beer. read more

Bleeding Heart Brewery - Pelmeni a Russian dumpling dish - Breweries Near Me - Palmer, Alaska

Out of all of the breweries that I've had in Alaska this one comes in at #7. Absolutely, hands down, they have the best coffee porter in the state. They need a award for their Grounds for Divorce coffee porter, it's rich, complex with just the right amount of coffee flavor! I was also surprised by their Basic Bit** sour. One of my favorite parts about this brewery is their relaxed, comfy environment that is so inviting to bring your friends and just sit down and enjoy a cold one! They have outside sitting as well which is great. They offer food as well which was very good! read more

Favorite spot after a long day. The food is so good and clean. I love the kombucha (non alcoholic) on tap. They have a living room atmosphere and sell local art as well as plants and cool gifts. Love the vibes. read more

The place doesn't look like a brewery from the outside. We weren't even sure how or where to enter. (Apparently the small door off the parking lot is sufficient, or you can walk around the left side.) Once we figured it out, we found the interior was... eclectic. There were some creative seating options, but not a lot available. Thankfully it was a lovely day when we went, so we sat outdoors. The line to order was long, and they were out of a few beers we wanted to try. Substitutions had to be made. A second flight later on allowed us to taste the root beer, purple nurple, and kombucha. The purple nurple was the best of that lineup. The staff was kind. The food was alright. We enjoyed the Cubano, but the accompanying mac and cheese was cold. We ordered some kind of caprese thing that was nice but unbalanced, with more toast pieces than tomato, basil, and cheese. The napkin provided on the plate was covered in balsamic. It was a novel experience, but not one we deemed worth repeating on our own steam. read more

We've been here before and enjoyed it. When we saw the updated menu we decided to check it out again. We split the Cuban-Mi sandwich with a side of Prosciutto Mac & Cheese. She had the Beet IPA and I had the Shmurple Heart: All Crayons IPA. The sandwich was ok with nicely toasted bread, gooey cheese and a little vegetable to complete the hybrid. The Mac & Cheese? Wow! I'll get a full order next time. The Shmurple Heart IPA is made with locally farmed purple carrots and was a tasty dark IPA. The Red Beet IPA was flavorful with a good finish. Service was good, the vibe was good and we enjoyed the pub-like ambiance of couches and tables. It was here we felt inspired to plan a future brewery crawl to sample the various micro-brews here in Palmer. We will definitely be back! read more

We went in on a recommendation. We enjoyed the beers, and were surprised they served food. The plan wasn't to eat there, but after looking over the menu we did. We hade the soba noodles. Wow, so good. The fan fried tofu was so flavorful. The noodles were so good. I had the bratwurst with kimchi and it paired well together. Definitely would go back. read more

We ended up here on a recommendation from a tour guide from a nearby atv tour (shout out to Hailey). This place wasn't even on our radar, but I'm so glad we went. These were the best beers we had during our trip to Alaska. The flavors were on point and the vibes at the brewery were immaculate. And the food was so good! I was struggling as a vegetarian in AK, but Bleeding Heart came thru with really solid and delicious veggie options. We were here on the last week of their summer menu and I got soba noodles with tofu. So flavorful and well executed. Hands down the best meal I had in weeks time. Loved this brewery so much. read more

Always impressed never disappointed! Great laid back atmosphere, very comfortable. Food is so creative, if you are tired of the same ol stuff come here for something new! The staff is excellent! read more

Food and beer were excellent, as was the laid back atmosphere. Highly recommend a stop

During our visit to Anchorage from LA we took a day trip to Palmer. Bleeding Heart Brewery was our first stop and it didn't disappoint. It is a cozy brewery with a great selection. You feel comfortable as soon as you walk in and the staff is helpful in getting you the best beer for your taste. We ordered the cheese charcuterie board with two flights of beer. We tried all but one of the beers in their selection and they were all great or not something we've tried before. The beer selection is smaller than most breweries with about 15 total but good nonetheless. The look of the brewery itself is unique and super kiche in a good way. The brewery is connected to a thrift shop where we ended up getting some music cassettes and a vintage postcard. It was a fun little stop in our day. read more

Bleeding Heart has finally reopened in their new space! Not going to lie I miss the charm of the farm. This new space is gorgeous, and if I've never been to the farm I wouldn't know the difference. I just feel like the farm perfectly encapsulated the quirkiness of this brewery. None the less I am excited for their journey in this new location. They deserve all the success! The beer is still amazing, and some of the most creative brews in the state. The space is very nice, and they share the building with Alaska pickers so you can get some shopping done too while on site. Bigger space means bigger brewing capacity, and they have the tap list to prove it! I didn't try their food menu, but I am excited to go back to sample some bites and see where they go with the food side of things. Excited to have BHB beers back in my life so I can continue drinking like I give a damn! read more

Delicious food, relaxed atmosphere and friendly/knowledgeable service. What's not to love.

I want nothing more than support local breweries, but I was a bit underwhelmed with Bleeding Heart. TBH it was probably closer to a two-star experience. Located adjacent to Matanuska in Palmer, this cozy place offers some limited seating inside along with outdoor picnic tables and heaters. The beer list was different than most breweries these days, which could be good or bad depending on your preferences. No IPAs or lighter ales, but several non-beer options for the one who prefer some trying else. The Guillermo el Hippopotamo was tasty (stout with hiracha). They serve brunch until 7 on Sundays. I ordered the chicken and waffles, which were "meh" at best. Come for the beer I suppose, but be prepared for weed smoke drifting in and dirty silverware. read more

Our group of 6 stopped into Bleeding Heart for a quick drink after a long day's drive. We were visiting in early June and were very pleased with the drink options! They had beers for all preferences and I found the two I ordered to be delicious. I ordered my drinks at the bar and then sat on one of the open couches in the main warehouse area. The bartenders were friendly and offered samples of various beers before I committed to one. The overall feel of the brewery is very laid back and welcoming. The space is relaxing and allows for groups of varying sizes. I would come back here for a drink next time I'm in Palmer. read more

Great service from the young lady at the tasting. Nice atmosphere and great food. Not the kind you find at most tap rooms. Also a nice little store inside. read more

Best brewery in the state? Maybe. Smallest brewery in the state? Definitely Worth a stop? Absolutely. About the top points: - The beers here are inventive and daring. Weird ingredients and powerful hops abound. But, don't worry, they also have some "safe" stuff here for all you 'plebs out there. - Their brewing setup is tiny. It's slightly bigger than my old homebrewing setup. This is probably why you don't see their amazing beers on tap in Anchorage. (expand, please, we're dyin' down here!) - The brewery is located right next to working farmland. You'll drink beer among the chickens, gaze out at the mountains, and watch some happy cows. GO HERE! read more

Liked every beer here. Had two flights with seven different beers and one seltzer so that's really saying something! Also had the charcuterie cheese plate, bratwurst, half order Mac & cheese, and the pork chop salad special. Specials rotate often.

The beer here is really good! Super limited seating inside. But they do offer pretzels. I really liked the beer. Very friendly staff. I happened to swing in on a day they had an event happening so it was very crowded. Hey had a bon fire going on so you could take your drink outside. read more

Very creative brews, sodas, and food. Loved the "who's Brad" homemade cherry cola, "lady parts" brew with hibiscus was tart and tasty, and one I can't remember with orange and cardamom. These accompanied the basil cheesecake with blueberry compote- hella good. All this and you can chill in cool casual furniture and browse antiques. Winning combination guys, keep up the great work! read more

Excellent beer, music, and customer service. Would absolutely recommend this brewery to anyone.

Beer was great! We enjoyed the mac n cheese as well! Not a ton of seating but liked the atmosphere.

I love this place!! There's a little shop connected and it's cheap and when your done shopping u can come in and get something to eat!! and there's no worrys cause the have gf foods and vegan stuff too. The gf Mac and cheese is to die for in my opinion. But the only thing I wish they had sprite and more sodas but other than that totally think this is the place to be!! read more

so I have been busy settling down into work and stuff and going out today was a good break. My colleague and good friend from work(who has been living here in Alaska for over 20 years) took me on a tour and the first stop was the Bleeding Heart brewery. This place is literally in the middle of a farm, next to a barn-with chickens running around and cows grazing right behind you while you gulp down some awesome beer. I don't rmbr the names but I tried quite a few of them and they were all really good. I am definitely going back... read more

Amazing! We've been to microbrews all over the country. As far as Vermont and many in SoCal. This is one of our favorites. Gorgeous farm setting. Not one of those annoying strip mall breweries. Very tasty and unique beers. Been to over a dozen Alaska microbrews and this is one of our favorites if not our favorite. read more

Your search will be rewarded. Just a bit off the beaten path, but well worth the extra effort.
