    A little off the beaten path, very popular with locals- you won't be disappointed! Delicious beer, specializing in flavorful sours. We were there on a Wednesday night and it was hopping, no pun intended. Food truck on premises made dinner a snap. Dog friendly (love!) & cool swag too.

    This awesome little brewery specializes in Belgians and sours. They have nuts for sale also, the perfect compliment. On some days they have food trucks, see their social media for their rotating schedule. I was finally able to visit recently, and partake in their beer slushy. It was a passion fruit mango sour and it was amazing. I was told to look out for the headache but I didn't experience one. The woman helping me was welcoming and warm. Their space is relaxing and quaint. I also tried their Blanca and it was the perfect Belgian. I can't wait to return!

    Best spot for sour beers! We got two flights, and tried nearly all their beers on tap! The Citrasaurous (grapefruit radler) and Framb Was (framboise) most, and got a growler to bring back home. Wasn't the biggest fan of their heavy Christmas ales, but curious what other seasonal beers they do! Love the salmon themed board the flights came out on and their salmon shaped taps. Will be back when in Anchorage!

    I've been here a handful of times and there is a reason I keep coming back. The staff is friendly. The ambiance is cozy. The on-site food truck is usually good. But most importantly, the beer is delicious. Plenty of bottles to go. Not a ton of parking. The local art for sale is hip, but not cheap. In the warmer months, the outdoor seating area is very limited and doesn't offer a great deal of shade. Plan accordingly.

    Good beer, friendly service and a great food truck out front. I stopped in yesterday for a drink while brewery hopping and enjoyed my time there.

    What a great local brewery! The beer is delicious, the tasting room is beautiful and the staff are awesome. I tried a flight and they were all delicious. I am not the biggest IPA fan, so it was great to see so many non-IPA options on the board. The tasting room was very inviting with quite a few table for groups of friends to gather. Can't wait for my next visit!

    Great beers!

    This is the closest Anchorage has to an all-round microbrewery I could make my own: - Affordable prices (sorry Anchorage Brewing Company) - Can do any style well - Offers super hoppy options (sorry Midnight Sun) - Good food on site - No TV's - Fun conversation with strangers It's located in the smallish space that used to be occupied by King St Brewing. Turnagain seems to be able to do a much more diverse docket of beers than King St ever could. The menu is divided into "American", "Belgian", and "Sours". I'm not much into Belgian beer these days, but I can't definitely vouch for the American and the Sours. I got an "Atlantic Haze", it was a great, hoppy, juicy take on this Heady Topper-inspired style. I also had a "Framb Was", a raspberry sour that wasn't at all sweet (exactly what I was looking for) with a decent pucker-factor. Bummed it took me so long to come here, I'll definitely be back!

    Beer menu as of 6/22/19. Huge kudos for brewing a special PRIDE beer. Love that!

    As others have mentioned this is where King street used to be located. The building isn't huge, but when the upstairs is open there are additional seating options. It can get crowded downstairs especially since the bar area is located right by the entry way. That area is also super small, and can't accommodate many patrons at once. I love their name, and logo. It's very creative and Alaskan. I'm conflicted on my star rating for this brewery. I really wanted to like it, but unfortunately my experience was just ok. I can solidly say it was a 3.5. I like that they have a good variety of beer styles, and a fairly large selection. I was impressed that they had 12 beers on tap. They have their menu split into 3 categories which I like; makes the selection process more streamlined. I do not like that their menu gives no description beyond the beer style. One of the categories is Belgians, which is one of my favorite beer styles. I ordered the Taiga tripel, but it was just ok. It lacked complexity in mouth feel and taste that tripels typically have. Definitely have had better at other local breweries. The other two categories are American and Sour. I enjoy a good fruit sour so I had to try the famed Framb was raspberry sour. It was pretty tasty. I haven't had a beer like that around Anchorage before so kudos to them on putting out a unique sour. It wasn't overly sweet even though it's packed with raspberry juice, and had a good pucker. I think the main issue with my experience was the place was packed. There was probably 30 runners in there from the mayor's marathon. So I couldn't really look at their menu because it's located right by the serving area. I was rushed ordering because there was always a line, couldn't really ask the bartender any questions about the beer etc. This is no fault of the brewery, but it's a small place so it's not really equipped to handle a group like that plus other customers. Service wasn't bad, they were trying damn hard to accommodate everyone. But it definitely of dampens the microbrewery experience when it feels like you're at a bar on a Saturday night. Maybe should've been a "closed for a private event for a few hours" type of thing. I don't know maybe I'm being too harsh with my rating, but I left the brewery feeling pretty "meh". Definitely will give them another try though, and hopefully my opinion will change!!

    This I located in the old King Street Brewery. Be warned: they don't have the popcorn machine!! Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. You can get a flight up to 6 beers. Seating downstairs and upstairs. A lot of sour beers! Also offer two non-alcoholic child friendly drinks (lemonade)

    Tristan B.

    The space is a little lowkey and has a neighborhood feel to it. It definitely doesn't have the grandeur or polish of Anchorage Brewing or King Street but if you are looking for a quieter jaunt this is definitely for you. The beers themselves are excellent. I am a huge fan of Belgian beers in generally, particularly sours. They had a way array on tap, for a reasonable price to boot. They don't serve food onsite but tend to have a food truck going next door. I'll definitely stop in again next time I'm in anchorage.

    Cozy little brewery next to Taku Lake. Perfect for an evening visit and a drink after a stroll around the lake or after biking. I tried the Citrusaurus which has a wonderful grapefruit taste and is nicely sweet. I ended up taking home a growler and enjoy a little more. I'll be back soon!

    Beer flight. With a grapefruit soda.

    Well this place is amazing. Have a wide variety of Sours and Belgians. The pride and passion beer that they did for Pride Month is amazing. It is sour but not too sour. Very flavorful and refreshing for sure. It's always great stopping in here and chatting with people here. Always a great time and sometimes it's a great place to just come and have a beer by yourself.

    Matthew M.

    Awesome brewery in Anchorage making some of the best beer! Small taproom but with visiting. 13 beers on tap. Six sours, a hazy IPA, and five Belgians. The Rhu Fram was definitely my favorite, wow. Tasters available. Friendly staff. No food. Definitely recommend stopping by for a flight!

In cooler weather, they also have outdoor fire pits which looked like a ton of fun. Inside, there was plenty of seating amongst the brewery apparatus. And, while the beer line was long, the staff was friendly and very knowledgeable. This stop is definitely one to add to your beer list when traveling in the area!

I was in beautiful Anchorage and…read morewanted to grab some lunch. 49th state brewing was perfect because it wasn't far from my hotel and because it was so cold outside, I didn't want my walk to exceed 15 minutes. I was really hungry so I got there right when they opened at 11 a.m. I was able to be seated immediately and opted to sit upstairs where the tables were lower as compared to downstairs where the tables were high tops. Off the bat the food is phenomenal. For starters I got their popular handmade Bavarian pretzel. It was perfectly seasoned with butter and salt and the pretzel itself was soft and fluffy. It came with a side of cheese which was just as tasty. I was a little nervous it would taste like the melted cheese you eat at an amusement park- but this cheese had fantastic quality. One really neat thing about this brewery is they make their own fountain drinks! I tried the raspberry one and as you can see they aren't shy about the portions! The drink was really good. It had a great flavor to it, and a nice balance. The raspberry wasn't overpowering which I'm grateful for. For my entree I had the Yak burger that came with a side of tater tots. My waiter recommended I get it cooked at medium to keep it juicy. Typically I'm a medium well to well done type of girl, but I decided to trust his judgement and he was right! The burger was huge, messy, and delicious. The medium was definitely a good call. It was juicy but not so red where it would be off putting! Overall, I had a really incredible dining experience at 49th state brewing. And the prices were unbelievably reasonable. My meal came out to about $52 (not including my tip). I would love to come back when it's a bit warmer and sit outside- the views from the restaurant are phenomenal. Also, shout out to my waiter! I didn't get his name but he was so kind and the service was excellent!

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.

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.
