    Flight

    If you're looking to get away from the crowds in Juneau, this is your spot. We were taken here by a local and enjoyed the water views and large, spacious taproom. They also offer outdoor seating with modern fire pits. There's a window to order food that's separate from the brewery yet located inside. We were helped by the friendly staff and enjoyed our tasting flights.

    Flight. The first is a seltzer, my +1 was a Porter. All very good. Loved the Bigfoot theme.

    We stopped in after a long day in downtown Juneau to relax away from the cruise crowds. Located across from the ferry port and near Mendenhall glacier (Tongass National Forest), the brewery does a brisk business but it's pleasantly busy and didn't feel crowded. The large outdoor space helps, although the weather wasn't particularly good the day we went for seating outdoors. The beer list is very good both in number of beers and diversity of styles-something for everyone! There were even several seltzers on tap. I got a flight +1 because of my inability to make a decision. The person helping us was made great suggestions and even found a solution for filling my non beer drinking friend's last spot on her flight. Food is available and looked fantastic but we were drinking only for our visit. The ramen looked especially good for the chilly drizzly day.

    Stopped in for a few beers and some food to go. Bartenders and wait staff were great at recommending beers and food. The taproom was beautiful. Beers I really loved. Good place

    Tried the cranrazz and watermelon hard cider. Both were crisp and refreshing. Amazing views of Auke Bay.

    Happened to stop in when a seasonal event and artist pop up was happening.

    I'm not a beer drinker but the food is great here (menu is short) and they have a house rootbeer. Nice vibe.

    I liked this brewery, but I didn't love it. Despite some other reviewers complaining about the beers being too heavily loaded with edgy styles (sours and hazies)...I kind of have the opposite complaint. The beers here were really good, I just wish there were some more modern styles available. But maybe this is just a function of the time of year I was here. (early January) The space is big and beautiful and the service is great. The location is about as far from downtown Juneau as you can get. Locals probably like it this way. But if you're not a local, you're going to pay some big bucks in Lyft fees to get here! I recommend coming here before going to the airport. For me, the highlight of this place is the food. A separate business, Red Spruce AK, is situated inside. They a small number of thoughtful items with an insane amount of variety between them, check 'em out: https://www.yelp.com/biz/red-spruce-ak-juneau

    While visiting Juneau again we of course stopped by the brewery, better day as it was not raining but rather a nice cool early evening. Drinks , tried some of the local beers again, very good nice & cold , tall glass hard to go wrong. This time around we tried some food they have an in house vendor on property this is nice & convenient. We tried the Burger & Fries, good burger , fries could be better had too much seasoning. also tried the Fried rice, not bad if you like spicy it had quite the kick, best thing for me was the Pretzel oh man super soft, great on it's own good with the cheese dip. One of the best things about this is of course the lovely scenery outside, nice views while sipping on some good beer.

    When visiting Juneau, this brewery is a great option. My wife and I were in town from a Norwegian cruise, and our friends that live in town took us here. First time around we ordered the Auke Bay IPA, which was great, not to bitter and nice kick. We enjoyed the outdoor seating, which has heating and amazing views of Auke Bay Creek and the mountain range from far, if you're lucky you might see some wildlife. The second time around we ordered more Auke Bay IPAS. I ordered food there but I think it's a separate entity? I got an order for a cheeseburger and fries. The burger was great but the fries were extremely salty, and I don't mind salty foods. This brewery has a great selection and we enjoy hanging out here when in town. Note, there is a drink limit of 3 beers at this brewery.

    Tried the VIP brew; a vanilla imperial Porter - delicious!

    Really enjoy the local beers - each has a distinct flavor with a selection to please any palate.

    Enjoying the AukNess!

    See all

    The beer is average. The brewery has a good view overlooking Auke bay. They also have non alcoholic beer available.
