We visited the Brewery as a shore excursion on our cruise. It was a great experience for us because…read morewe really wanted something low-key and easy. The brewer who did our tour was super enthusiastic and fun to hang out with. He made sure our glasses were topped off and gave a great talk about the workings of the brewery and his passion for beer. We got to try three 8-oz samples and a full pint, all included with the tour. The beer was good and the root beer was great. I highly recommend that you make sure to try the root beer and the coffee stout; they were the most delicious. The lighter beers were good too, but not as flavorful. The tour was too short, though. Our day in Skagway was quite long, and this only filled part of the afternoon. And it could easily have been longer, too, since getting people to chug four glasses of beer in less than an hour really rushes the experience. The bus company that took us to and from the brewery was also very good. The drivers talked extensively about the town and its history, even fielding impromptu questions.

This is a neat looking facility WAAAY out on the edge of town (follow Klondike Hwy across the…read moreriver). The place is a brewery that apparently also does tours, food, and, from what we inferred, a bit of live music from time to time. We were only there long enough to taste beer, so I can really only speak to that. We did a tasting of six beers, and I can't say I much cared for any of them. A lot of them had a sour, funky kind of thing happening, which, if it was intentional, was just not to my taste. Some of the heavier ones were okay (bigger flavors masked some of the funky), but we couldn't finish the lighter ones because of it. At least the service was good.

Is definitely recommend the Mac and cheese for sure. The salmon sandwich is also amazing. The first food is a bar and the second floor is more of a restaurant. My biggest criticism is that there are signs that say there's no WiFi, however, in a town with limited phone service, this restaurant has a QR code linking to the website and a QR code to rate it on Google, but not good enough service to connect. If you're gonna ask to connect to the website or rate the restaurant, make it possible.

You will find this one and only charming liquor store to suit all your needs while in port. Comparable prices to all the other liquor stores in Alaska.

But what's not to like, the one guy working was friendly and during off season he probably doesn't get much business. Thanks for serving us.

We got lots of information about the meads and ciders. My favorite was the cinnamon crisp cider - but I like sweet drinks. My boyfriend wished there were a few beers since he isn't as in to sweet drinks as I am. There were dryer meads and ciders but for him they didn't work. I loved the sweet ones- the cranberry, the blueberry and the cinnamon. Anyway, it's such a to fun place give it a try!

New scale I just came up with for breweries! It's 1 to 10 on how traditional they are…read more A "1" would be a brewery that only makes a pale ale, a porter, a stout, a blonde, and an occasional IPA. (the most traditional, for an American craft brewery, at least) A "10" would be a brewery that makes marshmallow aged imperial seltzer sours. (Non-traditional to the point of parody) This isn't a scale for how "good" a brewery is, just for the types of beers you might find there. If you like classic American styles, a "1" would be the best. If you like sour milkshape apricot IPAs, a "10" would be best. I fall somewhere in middle, but leaning towards less-traditional. I would put Haines at a 4. The beers they make here are solid, but pretty safe. I loved everything I had, but the hoppy lager may have been my favorite! I love lagers, I love hops, these two never meet enough for my tastes! A huge disclaimer though (and they almost lost a star for these) is how brutally stubborn and rigid some of their policies are: - No tasters...this is...the reason lots of people go to breweries. This sounds like a law that Alaska would make to punish breweries with but this brewery whips themselves with this restriction. - 7pm closing time. Speaking of self-flagellation, this brewery closes an hour earlier than the already-early-state-mandated closing time of 8pm. It's pretty silly that the sun sets after 9:30pm in Haines, and the brewery closes at 7. - No growler fills for any growler but theirs. The reason given is cleanliness and not guaranteeing beer quality. However, the main thing that destroys beer quality these days is not microbes, it's oxygen, and they do not CO2 purge their growlers, so these are going to go bad in a week or two just like any other brewery...whether you buy a growler from them or not. The building and location, are awesome. They have a bright and sunny beer garden in the back. The building is new and squeaky clean, with high ceilings. I wish I could've gone when they had the old, folksy location though!

We had two meals: dinner, and then breakfast the following morning. The grilled veggie sandwich with fries was OK, but nothing special. But the halibut and chips (got onion rings instead) were stupendous, just out of this world good! Huge chunks of halibut, looking like fritters. But oh so good, and a great value for the amount of fish you get. For breakfast, standard fare is good - my wife had 2 eggs over medium, hash browns and a biscuit, and I had 3 eggs over easy, hash browns, rye toast, and link sausages. Both were great. And then there are the people - so nice, so involved with their customers. They've been there for a long time, and they know how to run a great business. If you do nothing else, get the halibut and chips. Sadly, my substantial tip (which appeared on my credit card slip) did not get entered into their machine after breakfast - they lost out on a big tip (or perhaps chose not to enter it?).
