    Saké
    Joy L.

    My son is turning 21 this week and we are having a sushi party to celebrate. We thought it would be fun to have a saké tasting in honor of coming of age as well. I follow Bodega's Insta and took note they happened to be having sake themed specials this week. Kismet! I don't know a lot about saké, so I explained my plans to the gentleman behind the counter and he kindly assisted me. He offered some suggestions and provided lots of information about saké without being overbearing. I appreciated that the saké cabinet was organized and labeled with details that assisted in my selection process.

    Grabbing Dry-Farm Wines!

    I like this little liquor and wine store. I have been coming here for years off and on and have been surprised by the knowledgeable staff. I 1st stopped in when a buddy of mine was fishing for unique bourbons and called me with a find! It was the 125Th Anniversary Bottle of Four Roses. He knew I loved the brand of Small Batch. I picked up 2 pricy bottles around $100/ea. Most expensive bourbon I had ever bought. It was amazing and when I ran out of one bottle and half the next drinking it sparingly over a year I called them to get myself another bottle. They had only brought 6 into the state. I had gotten 2 of the only 6 In the state and they were gone. DRATS! Online if you could find one they were going for $500/ea. Liquid Gold Bourbon! I have 2 shots left and saving it! Most recently my wife's Dr. said an alternative and healthier choice of wines are called 'Dry Farm Wines' what the heck is that. So being a usual goer to Brown Jug I asked their wine guru does he have any of these heart heathy 'Dry Farm Wines' he said never heard of them. So La Bodega came to mind! I inquired and they immediately knew what Dry Farm Wines were. Dry Farm Wines are non irrigation water fed grapes. In other words in California and basically the US farmers water their grape vines with well or piped in water. In Europe basically the entire EU all wines are Dry Farmed. The grapes grow with nature's rains only. So with that knowledge I produced a list of wines I had researched with 90 rating plus wines Dry Farmed and they ordered 2 of them for us. While there I bought 6 other Dry Farm Wines per their suggestions all wines chosen were excellent. One in particular stuck out as a favorite a French Malbec. They have the excellent knowledge and will order what you desire! When the wines came in they called and said my 6 bottles were ready for pickup. I swung by while running errands in the area! You get 10% off when buying 6 or more. Thank you La Bodega!

    The best selection of craft beer in Anchorage. Also one of the most unique liquor stores I've ever shopped at. Most liquor stores have a craft beer area where they provide selections for you to build your own 6-pack. Not La Bodega, at La Bodega almost the entire damn store is open to your build your own 6-pack selection. Literally just start grabbing out of cases, and breaking down 6 pack rings because pretty much nothing is off limits. Want to try something new, but don't know if you will like it? Come to La Bodega, and you can buy a single can or bottle of beer! Literally there is no other place like this store. This store has a curated selection of craft beer from across the US, wine, and liquor including an excellent sake selection. You can tell that the staff here puts a lot of time and effort into the selections that they sell. If you are in any way interested in craft beer, or wine, or even liquor this place to go. If you have questions about any of those topics, this is the place to go. The staff is friendly, helpful, and attentive. They love to offer suggestions, and "talk shop". Definitely go here if you are new to craft beer, and want some help figuring out what to buy!

    So impressed and happy with their scotch section!

    I've been in here twice now and wish I could live here! (Or at least next door) Such an awesome selection of local beers, with the option of purchasing individual cans from packs. With so many crazy craft beers out there, it's great to have the option of buying just one individual beer. The people that work there are super cool and nice, and you can tell that they enjoy helping you make your selections. I love that they curate their liquors as well. I was impressed they had a good selection of scotch, some of my favorites (glenfiddich, tomatin). Nice selection of vodka and sake, haven't checked out their wine section yet. I think it's pretty awesome that they try to host tasting events once/twice a month. I'll hopefully be at their wine tasting next week and will update after that experience.

    Gold Rush liquor has been purchased by the parent company that also owns Brown Jug. As a result,…read moretheir bush order department no longer exists. Instead of continuing to monitor the old bush orders email address and notifying customers of this change, they allowed it to become an email black hole. After my second order attempt in months, I called them only to be told by a Brown Jug employee that "Gold Rush was supposed to notify their customers". Further, although it seemed like they were able to get into the email account after that, and I sent updated copies of my license and liquor permit, they apparently lack the capability to provide a pre-shipping subtotal... either that, or they just decided my request was unreasonable and they don't want to do business with me any more. I might never find out; they still haven't called me back, and I'd sooner order from someone else. Problem is, it looks like Liquor Stores USA North is attempting to buy up all the liquor stores in Anchorage, so you'll soon not have a choice but to put up with their bullshit.

    Gold Rush Liquor is a giant space of alcohol. Booze as far as the eye could see…read more Is it fancy? No, but it also isn't daunting. Clearly labeled sections make finding your spirit of choice a breeze and the low shelves makes finding people even easier. My friends split up upon entering but keeping track of each other was simple enough. And the selection! Wow. I saw alcohol here that I can't find anywhere. I immediately regretted not having more time in Anchorage for surely I'd pick up more. Everyone was so friendly here too! Employees were polite but not over bearing. The only downside is the price. We were on a hunt so we went here and then immediately to other stores. We were surprised to find identical product (same brand, type, size) $10 cheaper elsewhere. For the hard to find stuff Gold Rush is the spot, but for everything else there's cheaper elsewhere.

    Simply the best pizza in Anchorage. ‍ Highly recommend…read moreordering larger pies and splitting 1/2-1/2 toppings if you're a group of folks who want different things. My go to is the Jalapeño Business / veggie delight. This place is busy no matter what time and day you come, so prepare to wait if you hit peak hours. But on the upside - the beers are great too and fast to arrive, so you won't be thirsty while waiting. Noise level is usually low for being so busy, but it may depend on where you end up getting seated. Nice airy feel to the place, decorated in a style that I guess can only be described as...Alaskan? ‍ And yes, even if you stay downtown the drive over here is worth it.

After this experience I'm done recommending it. They really missed the mark. For starters we got my husband's usual Chipotle steak pizza. Right off the bat I notice it's a weird oval kind of shape. It's not a circle and the pieces don't add up. I'm positive that the someone in the kitchen sliced out the middle the pizza and put it in the box like it wouldn't be noticed. Worst of all. I ordered a pound of their Korean style wings. I usually love these. I thought initially that these are so tiny it's a good thing it's by the weight, not quantity. Well. These were not fit for consumption. I managed to eat two wings that were on the crunchy side. The rest were unfit for consumption. We're talking chicken wing jerky. A bite cracks right through the bone, crunchy marrow, dry translucent meat. What a disappointment. This wouldn't even be something you could feed a dog. So bad. This experience was the worst I've had with Moose's Tooth. It was so disappointing and also weird. Do better.
