    14+% higher price charged than their live online menu from their own web page.
    Matt H.

    Ambiance - overlit and sterile for a brewpub, in my opinion. Food - salty. So salty, in fact, that I lost my appetite for dessert. My chowder was pretty salty, but my burger's saltiness hit me like a ton of bricks and made me actually feel bad afterward. I'm sure the fact that I got it without a bun also made it worse. Prices - High, and I was charged 14+% more than the live menu straight from their website home page for my burger. Service - Server did not accommodate me by matching the online menu prices. Seemed annoyed that I even mentioned it. I picked out my choice online before I arrived.

    Best Blackened Chicken Wrap I've ever had. I can still taste the spices. I would like the recipe. The price was beyond reasonable also. Beautiful view of Big Lake too.

    Pretzel Bites

    I was so surprised at how spacious it is inside. Geeat comfy place to hang out. Had fabulous service. Started with the Pretzel Bites, which were smaller than I thought (6 pieces) at first... but then you taste the cheese and get transported to HEAVEN!! The cheese was TO DIE FOR. So much so I ordered a side to go with my hamburger haha. Burgers were delicious. Especially once I asked for an extra side of that beer cheese after I ordered it without normal cheese basically the beer cheese is perfection. Will be back!

    Heard good things, so I was disappointed. First was sat at a dirty table (we didn't actually sit at it, but the hostess walked away, so we just waited for the waitress). Sat down, ordered our drinks, which one came, one didn't, so I had to get up again to get my own drink. Ordered a burger with no onions, it came with onions, and on a plate so small you couldn't really put them to the side. Burger was dry and no condiments on it. Prob won't be back.

    First off the view is to die for. Great little brewery in Big Lake. Ordered the cobb salad and it was ok...would prefer to not have to scrape black olives off but that's just me but then again, I would rather come here for the lake views!

    French martini!

Ample parking, easy access, and the kind of brewery where you feel welcome whether you're a lifelong Alaskan or just passing through. Pro tip: Arrive with an appetite and an open mind. Get a sampler flight of the beers, ask the bartender what's new or seasonal, and don't hesitate to pair it with something from the kitchen--this one's worth the stop. All told: If craft beer is part of your travel plan (or if you simply want a great local spot for food & drink), Matanuska Brewing Company in Palmer should be high on your list. Cheers to that!

Mantanuska Brewery is the latest brewery I got to try for the first time and it was an enjoyable first time experience. Steve and I got one beer from this brewery on two separate occasions and I liked it both times. The Deep Powder Porter was the name of the beer we had. What I liked about this beer was that it was very smooth which made it an easy one to drink. There is a malty sweetness going on here with roasty, caramel and cocoa flavors. Untappd had the beet as a feature with this beer as "brilliant " and I can see that going on with this porter but I might call it "alive" as this porter wasn't a dull one at all to drink but instead it was a fun one.

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

Their lager was outstanding and the Hefe was very good. Service was awesome. So a guy walks by with a cheesesteak. Smelled great. I said where did you get that ? He says the food truck on the side of the building. He added that it was the best he has ever had. Being from Philly, I was skeptical. So on the way out, my wife and I decide to give it a try. We order, and I say to the owner, you know, the key to a Philly cheesesteak is the Amaroso rolls. He pulls down the bag if rolls, and they are Amaroso rolls. I'm stunned. Never thought I would see this in Alaska. I just finished my cheesesteak 5 minutes ago. Run to Odd Man Rush brewery and have a beer and a cheesesteak. Mammoth Cheesesteak Co. is only there on Thursdays and Fridays. I'll be there tomorrow.
