Huge, vibrant brewpub with a water view and outdoor patio. Lots of interesting beers and cocktails…read more We sat on the upper patio at the bar - bartender was friendly and helpful. It did start raining while we were there and unfortunately the bar does not have any cover to it, but it added to the experience. We had a salmon bowl and the crab grilled cheese. Both were huge portions and delicious, salmon chowder that came with the crab grilled cheese was especially delicious!

The good: oysters, king crab (but pricey compared to other restaurants and the side of veggies and…read moremashed potatoes were just meh) The meh: Elk burger was overly seasoned - a beef burger would have tasted just the same. However, the meat was cooked as offered (medium well for us) and the bread was good. Additionally, self seating is not ideal in a crowded place. We ended up seating around the corner from the kitchen - not super comfortable The bad: calamari were soggy and oily, could not finish the plate Not sure why the restaurant is so popular.

Everything was priced relative well. Not too expensive and not super cheap either. The bacon caramelized onion Brussel sprouts were so delicious. Straight 10/10, I would absolutely recommend. The steak was average so so. Vegetables of course do get a cold as you eat. Mashed potatoes were delicious but also average. The glacier spiked lemonade was okay. The drink wasn't too strong and had a good flavor. Wasn't anything special considering the name.

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?

Alaska breweries are fairly untouched for me but trying out a few goes a long ways as there isn't a…read morelarge amount of them in Alaska. 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.

This brewery blocked me on Instagram…read more Before I headed there last night for a dear friend's birthday and I wanted to check to see if there would be a foodtruck. They kept not coming up in the IG search results...weird. I initially was worried they went out of business because it said their IG page was down. I warned the birthday girl that maybe that had suddenly closed and joked "unless I'm blocked, lol" to which she replied "they blocked you!" So weird and so sad. Never in my 267 brewery reviews on Yelp has a brewery blocked me from their IG. (that I know of, lol) My only interactions with them on IG are to re-share their reels so my friends know what beers they have on tap or what food truck is out front. I guess if I had to guess it would be that my 3-star review about their being the only brewery in Anchorage that doesn't allow you to taste their beer first must've struck such a nerve that they researched to find what IG account is connected to my Yelp account, and then blocked me. Really disappointing, I always thought the owner/brewer seemed cool but I guess he has thin skin. Their Anchorage-style Pilsner is still one of the best beers in town, hopefully I'll get a pint tonight. Last night I had a west coast IPA and a Cold IPA. Both were good. The fact that you have 3 different IPAs on tap combined with a 3 drink limit by the state of Alaska...really speaks to why tastes are helpful. Still the worst name of any brewery. It sounds like a Temu beer kit that makes murky booze your friends pretend to like.

Staff Friendly. Beer is good…read more Place is well set up and feels like a brewery. Name made by AI? I would like the name more if you actualy had brew classes or offered me the ability to do some of the werks.

So we walk into Ship Creek on a Sunday afternoon. The layout is open, but all the tables are very…read morecramped together on the side. I see the Owner having a beer near the front. 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.

They have a smaller selection of drinks about 8 but they offer unique strong flavors(and fun…read morenames). I had the berry me alive sour and it's a sour that burst with flavor. The pizza is bussin a bonus to the drinks. The seating options are limited it's definitely a smaller brewery but definitely worth the stop in Anchorage.

I can't say enough good things about the brewery…read more I absolutely love their beers. The owner does a really good job creating local ingredients. And working with the community. 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.

This is a great stop after fishing at taku lake nearby. They have great outdoor & indoor seating…read more My husband and I got the flight and was not disappointed!

The Kolsch was a little buttery though, might need some more time in the oven. The crowd and the vibe here were rowdy and fun.
