12 Best Craft Breweries in Anchorage

“The duke of spenard is fantastic“

“Brewerks is the kind of place you hope no one else discovers—but you can’t help telling everyone about it anyway. It’s tucked into an industrial corner of Anchorage with no frills, no fluff—just incredible beer and the kind of atmosphere that feels real. Inside, it’s welcoming in that quiet, unpolished way: barrel tables, a loft above, and Chad (the owner and brewer) probably behind the bar, pouring the beer he made himself. That kind of presence matters. You feel it in the space and in every pour. The beer is creative, clean, and thoughtful. No shortcuts. The hazy IPAs hit just right, the stouts are layered and rich without being overdone, and the rotating sours and goses are genuinely interesting—not trendy for the sake of it. You can tell he’s brewing for flavor, not followers. It’s a place where the beer speaks first, and then the people do—and both are worth listening to. If you like places where you can actually hear yourself think, where the beer is the centerpiece without needing to be flashy, and where the owner still cares enough to look you in the eye—go to Brewerks. It’s one of the best things happening in Anchorage.“

“Good, really clean beers. Good selection.“

“These are some of the best beers I have had in Anchorage. The Variety and skill in these beers is absolutely Amazing! And they owners are just the sweetest awesomest people; I may only make it there every so often but Cindy remembers me every time :)“

“Nice, spacious interior with great brews! They have a pizza oven which wasn’t running when I was there. Hope it’s fired up soon!“

“Magnetic North was perhaps our favorite Alaska brewery. Everything about Magnetic North – the food, beer, and service – is wonderful.“

“Great place to relax and enjoy a craft beer or wine or hydromel. Awesome staff and crazy cool owners. Got to get Bucks cookies on Sundays🤘🏻😍😍😍😍“

“I’ve been loving the Blueberry Mary Kombucha! I need to try more flavors but this one has been an awesome treat.“

“Incredible beer, awesome venue, dog friendly, and they also have Familia! Absolutely everything about this place is legendary. Thank you for giving the locals, like us, and those that travel in a solid and worthwhile experience!“

“Had a great time here. Great selection of beers. Food was delicious and large portion sizes. I had the Mediterranean Melt. Wish the chips were housemade but still good.

They didn’t have any gluten free beers for my friend, but plenty of cocktails and other drinks.“

“had a great Valentines lunch with the wifey, food was great and Cassidy was a great server!“

“Terrible service, brought friends from outside of state and it was embarrassing after telling them what a "great" place. Halibut was over cooked and too much batter. The waitress made a RUDE remark about a server who dropped a plate of food. We were basically ignored. It wasn't even busy, mid-afternoon. SORRY, I still have gift cards to spend because I don't really want to go back. disappointed 😞“
