We had 24 hours in town and wanted to check out a few local breweries. There was a decent amount of…read moreparking available, and plenty of street parking to help accommodate any overflow. Unfortunately, they do not offer beer flights, so Colby created his own half-glass sampler, which did the trick. The brewery itself was pretty neat, with large beer barrels incorporated into the décor, including one that guests can actually sit in. Their beer selection was on the smaller side, but we felt the prices were fair. I ordered the Blind Berry Cider, which had a pleasantly tart flavor, though it leaned toward the extra sour side. We thought this spot was great for Instagram photos and a worthwhile stop if you have some extra time while you're in town. Overall, it was okay. I do wish we had known about the outdoor seating options beforehand, as we found the indoor seating area to be somewhat limited. The glassware was pretty cool as well, with several different sizes available. The bathrooms were clean, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. We would definitely return if we find ourselves back in town again.

It's nice to be able to have a beer while waiting on take out food from Familia!…read more Anchorage Brewing sure isn't making it easy to pick a beer with many good choices. One of the best beers I've had so far is A deal with the devil double oaked! This beer is made to enjoy! On the sweet side with a hint of caramel or toffee. A sample since glass is plenty for me! It's never really busy when I stop by so it's usually pretty quiet which makes for great opportunities to talk to staff members. They all are so patient, which is appreciated! They have a way to always suggest the best beer depending on what you are in the mood for. All in all, this brewery is a great place to meet up with friends or family.

It was slow cooked in a cider with carrots & a large dollop of garlic smashed potatoes. I got the side order of bread with it, which went perfectly! It was divine!

It was delicious & I loved that I was able to opt for a local drink and flavors. Highly recommend!

The calamari was easily the best that I've ever had in my life. The chowder was absolutely fantastic. I also tried their beer flight, I don't know if I've ever mentioned beer in any of my reviews, cause I typically don't drink it. I was absolutely shocked to discover that the stout was one of my favorites, with that dark chocolate finish. All of the beers were really good, just a bit filling. Today I sampled the French dip and a slice of pizza, and both of those were absolutely fantastic. Had the calamari again, and everyone agreed that it was pretty much the best ever. Service last night was very good, our server took care to explain the food and drink options as well as answering any questions. He was very attentive and friendly. I went with a large group for lunch today and our server was excellent, she nailed every order and was friendly and quite attentive. Large groups can be a hassle, but she handled it excellently. The atmosphere last night was quite busy as you would imagine on a Friday night. That's why the good service and great food is extra impressive. We had a private room for our group lunch today, and it was quite nice as well. I would absolutely come back here again, and list them as a must visit for anyone visiting Anchorage. So far the food scene in Anchorage just doesn't seem to miss. Kudos to the management and staff for running an excellent restaurant operation and delivering both quality customer service and superior food product.

Midnight Sun is tucked away and a bit off the beaten path and is literally just among warehouses. I love me a veggie and pesto sandwich, but mine needed balsamic or something to make it taste less dry. I also thing it being "panini style" on focaccia bread is a mistake because the bread was crumbly and I wonder if they have it on focaccia to differentiate it from the other sandwiches *shrug* My wife loved her pork sandwich the "Sweet Cheeks". If we're ever back in alaska, we'll return. How has this place been around 30 years? One of their anniversary brews said that. Craft beer was a thing in Alaska in the 90s?

Enough to keep seeking new ones out but even then that wouldn't last too terribly long and especially if I lived there. Midnight Sun Brewing is one of the Alaskan ones I tried a while back and I felt that the beer I had was very solid and enjoyable. In fact Alaska in general thus far I have enjoyed the breweries there considerably. The beer I had from this brewery was the Panty Peeler which is a Belgian Tripel. A good beer for sure and is a good pairing with fish and chips or a burger. Flavor highlights with this beer are sweet, strong and fruity but all in a well balanced way. The beer goes down smooth and is light bodied. A good beer to start for me with this brewery. I'd loved to try more of their beer options. Love the brewery's swag and have a t-shirt or two and would love to score a hoodie that I had my eye on but it was out of stock so I'll try back later.

The hot honey pep was very good and I'll be going back for that. I liked the marinara as it wasn't thick and robust and was just enough. I'm not a fan of a lot of marinara ;) A bit of a wait for the pizza, but it was a busy Friday night so I didn't mind! Staff was very friendly. We stayed for the live music and enjoyed the old country songs and a mix of new and originals. He was interactive with the crowd and took requests. I also like that they're not downtown! Places being downtown definitely deter me lol

I was surprised when he didn't say hi or welcome us in. There was only one customer there besides us! They only had a few beers on tap but it was one that I liked! The beer was very tasty but pricy for what you get. We really came here to try the pizza because the owner of tent city taphouse told us about it. But of course, there was no pizza cook so there was no pizza. It was really a bummer... I was surprised for how slow it was and the owner being there that no one could whip up a pizza and pop it in the oven... This brewery didn't give me a warm welcome, no pizza, and the seating area is not ideal for multiple parties or very comfortable/private seating. It's doubtful I'll be back anytime soon. Good luck to you Ship Creek.

I have absolutely enjoyed every time. I have come in and love getting their sour starter pack of bottles. It's a great variety of what they have to offer with some of their greats! The high bush cranberry that they have currently is just fantastic. I know that they just came out with a white stout which they do every year and it's delicious. I haven't had this year but I can tell you from years previously it's one of the best beers of the winter. The place is clean and well kept with a beautiful sitting area upstairs and some fantastic chairs downstairs great place to come sit hang out and enjoy yourself. Did you get food trucks from time to time. Honestly, just talking with the owner makes me so happy and going to any of the events that they have to offer is such a learning experience. If you want to learn about beer, this is definitely a place to come hang out.
