14 Best Craft Breweries in Anchorage

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

“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.“

“Lee, Buck and Sarah all took great care of us last night (and every time we drop in). The brews are always great and diverse in flavor and options. That’s one of the things I love most about RR is that they’ve got something for everyone. Whether you love stouts, IPA’s pilsners, mead, or even crave a good N/A option…. They have it!! Great atmosphere, personalized experience and just top notch care and love for what they do. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Good, really clean beers. Good selection.“

“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!“

“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 :)“

“The duke of spenard is fantastic“

“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!“

“Stopped into the new brewery on a Saturday. Nice aposphere in the seating area, with super nice staff and an open view of the brewery area. A little disappointing they only had 4 beers on tap (1 Golden, 1 Smash IPA, 1 fruited tart, and 1 Baltic porter) but they just opened up so will let that slide. The Smash was simple but highlighted the Citra hops nicely with good head retention. The fruited sour was refreshing with pretty good Blueberry and lemon flavor, good balance of tartness with fruit flavor and sweetness. The golden ale was not my favorite but was simple with a malty backbone but I didn't like the mouth feel or overall flavor. I would like to try more beers to determine my full impression of them, but everyone has to start somewere and excited to see this new brewery grow and find their niche in the beer world! 3.5/5 stars“

“I thoroughly enjoyed a Mango Heatwave mocktail, tonight, with my dinner. Fresh and fruity, with enough heat to know it's not playing around, but not lingering, so you'd regret it. I love how all of the flavors are pure and intense, and not covered up with chemicals and things we cannot identify.“

“Great food Great beer Nicky on D1 does an awesome job! His crew is the best Visiting from Illinois and I highly recommend“

“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 😞“

“They were friendly and welcoming, had a great selection, and everything I tried was top notch. The entire place was sparkling clean as well (even the bathroom). I'll definitely be back if I'm in the area again!“
