For a place seemingly in the middle of nowhere, they have quite the selection!…read more Let's call it better than the gas station beer/wine/liquor store but a couple steps behind the typical Brown Jug. There is an entire wall of chilled beer, several shelves of wine, and most of the bottom shelf style liquors. I'm sure if I spend a little more time here I might find a special beverage or two. Beer, which I came in for had enough of a selection that I paused to consider. I could choose an IPA between Sierra Nevada, Deschutes, and King Street. They didn't, on the other hand have King Street's Hefe (my favorite hefe). I'd give the overall beer selection a solid B, while awarding the local (Alaska, NW) beer selection a C or C-. The place wasn't busy (on a Saturday night at 7) because the cashier was getting people in and out quickly.

Lots of great beer, but didn't see individual choices until I happened to notice a door in the back, far right corner of the store. Through that door is a refrigerated area with lots of great individual beer choices. They had both Founders CBS and the Goose Island Bourbon County. Hanging on the racks are build-your-one six packs. They also have a growler bar over toward the back left corner. I was told the other Brown Jug across town had a larger selection on the growler bar. Great info! Good wine selection. Very friendly and helpful staff.

The view is spectacular. The beer selection matches the name. And there is representation from my favorite brewery, Weihenstephaner. The decor is rustic and fun. At first I wanted to say the food is the downside. But really, the lack of food is the downside. The fries we had with their special seasoning (is it Lawrys?) was okay, but reminded me of oven cooked frozen fries. I wish there was good German good, well, anywhere in Alaska. Service was great!

We were seated by Andrew and he let us know immediately that he was the only one doing food service and he would be right back. We totally understand where he was coming from since Andrew never stopped moving while waiting on ALL the tables. He came back shortly after seated and took our beverage order and when he came back we were ready to order an appetizer. Ordered their jalapeño poppers and I have to say they were really scrumptious, my only issue is they are pretty expensive saying that you get 4 poppers for the price of $19 I think that is steep! The atmosphere was pleasant and everyone seemed to be having a good time especially since it was Valentines Day. The beer prices were fair although I wished they offered Ciders I gave a 4 for the price on apps however I give a 5 for Andrew

My favorite food is the Thai salad wrap, sweet potato fries, chicken tenders, the burgers are usually good as is the pizza.

The interior is super cozy and they have great decoration of antler chandeliers and Alaskan photos all around. The staff were incredibly nice and accommodating. For drinks, I ordered the polar bear and the winter warmer. The polar bear was sooooo good! It's a sweeter drink but perfect to go with a salad or something light like that. The winter warmer was good in flavor but MAN was it strong!! I even had them add heavy cream to it and it STILL did not lessen the strength for me lol. I couldn't get past a couple sips of it. It's very good, but beware its strength! lol! For food I got the beets and berries salad which was delicious and perfect with my first polar bear drink. My husband got the carbonara which he is now OBSSESSED with and will only order that dish lol. My dad ordered the halibut and said it was so good. It wasn't an overloaded amount but enough for him to finish it all and fill up! For the appetizer we ordered the smoked Gouda fries which ended up taking longer than it did for us to get our food so our waitress, Isabella, comped it and gave us a free dessert! She was so kind and the epitome of what customer service is. The fries, unfortunately, had very little Gouda only drizzled on top of the giant potato wedges and a mountain of green onions on it. They were still very good but should be labeled as just fries. This was the only reason it did not get 5 stars. For the free dessert we got the creme brulee which is always my favorite. They made it soooo well! It was so creamy and they used real vanilla beans which always makes this dish top tier! I can't wait to come back! Forgot my phone at home so no photos...this time!

There isn't a massive saturation of craft breweries in Alaska like in states like Washington,…read moreOregon, California and Colorado but there are quite a bit more breweries in the state than you may think too. Arkose Brewing was a brewery Steve got to try when we were visiting Alaska last year. We shared the Mandarina Moose Grapefruit IPA which was pretty good. Perhaps not the best grapefruit IPA I have stumbled across but not bad. The cirtus notes and malty flavor made it enjoyable enough. If I ever do get to try beer from this brewery again I think I'd like to try a stout or a porter and get a take of this brewery's version of those beer styles.

This, of course, was after I had tried a sampler with 6 of their beers. COOLEST THING: Every Thursday they do a small batch release. When I was there it was a Coconut Cranberry Macaroon Porter. And it was DELICIOUS. You ever hear people say "this is a beer for the non-beer drinkers?" Well, this is the place to go for them. The red and the stout were smooth and sweet. The Snarly was hoppy IPA but without the heavy bitterness in the back end. Above the taps the customer will find the beers on tap broken down by style. When I was there, they had light/Belgian, malty/dark, IPAS, and Barleywines. The space is clean and crisp. Lots of art and color, too. There is merchandise on sale and beer in both bottles and growlers to go. HIGHLY recommend Arkose.
