We enjoy coming here as a family. The atmosphere is amazing and very kid friendly. They also have drinks that kids can enjoy while we enjoy a beer or seltzer. Views are also amazing!

Waiting an hour and a half for terrible food. Walk in, order your drinks at the counter on the right then go left and order your food at another counter. Bus your own table. Both POS systems request a tip for the service but no real service rendered.

Tourists beware! This place has awesome beer cans with stickers on them. Saw them on Instagram and made a special trip while on a cruise out to this brewery to support their efforts. Couldn't regret the wasted time more!

We went straight to the cans in the brewery, picked out the ones that had stickers on them, showed our (very out of state) IDs, my wife ordered a drink, and headed out to the patio. We were about to sit down at a table, three cans in hand, and an employee comes out and tells us she wants to wipe the table off before we sit at it, and proceeds to do so. Thought that was nice, but then she says "oh by the way those cans are for off site consumption only"... What the heck!? There was no signage, we were clearly from out of town, there should have been a warning at purchase time at a minimum. Told the lady that would have been nice to know before we ordered it and that we were on a cruise so we couldn't take the cans with us and she just shrugged her shoulders. Asked where we could drink them and she suggested going to a beach and drinking out in public. Asked her if it was legal there and she just shrugged her shoulders, said don't get caught, and walked away. Absolutely horrible experience and somewhere I couldn't recommend to tourists less.

We went in to get the cool beer cans with stickers on them. There was no signage we saw that told us we couldn't drink the cans on-sight and we weren't warned at the counter either even though we were just getting one each and had out of state licenses that made it obvious we weren't local. When we went out to drink them on the patio we got followed by an employee and shoo-d off saying that we weren't allowed to drink them there even though we were on a cruise and don't really have anywhere else to legally drink them and can't bring them onto the ship.

Warning people about that rule or removing the rule altogether would have made it a much better experience but it felt that we were intentionally unwelcome as tourists.

I love the beer and the food here! Miso cod at a brewery!

You cannot go wrong with the food, beer, or view at the forbidden peak brewery! I went here for dinner and got a flight with amazing beers, a wonderful poke bowl and steak, and then to top it all off they have a patio that over looks Auke Bay that is beautiful. I highly recommended going here if you are in the area!

Food is great! Many options. Staff was great to interact with! Fish was good! I loved the rain ball ice and pineapple seltzer! Delicious. Taylor was great at the bar!

The food was pretty good overall. Beatiful view, however we arrived at about 1:45 PM and didn't get our food until 2:50 PM. Come to find out we weren't waiting on the Alaskan rockfish Burgers (which were cold by the time we got them) but we were waiting on a kids hotdog, which quite frankly wasn't anything super special. The family said the rest of the food was good, and I could confirm the fries were great. I do not want to slam this business because there are 0 other reviews that talk about speed, so it was likely just a difficult day. This experience was just frustrating because we got off the cruise ship with 5 hours to spare, but after getting our excursion canceled and fumbling around for transportation for an hour, an hour long wait for lunch was not what we needed.

A wonderful selection of taps, t-shirts, and various other brewery merch. The atmosphere is very nice and Pacific Northwest. There is ample seating, a large and readable menu, and friendly folks working behind the bar.

We stopped here on the way back towards Juneau and didn't regret it. We had the Steak and fries meal as well as the helote bowl and they were awesome.

It was also a nice open place that our kids of 1, 4, and 5 could be in comfortably and not both anyone.

Today the customer service by the new gal sucks. I like this place and considers myself a regular, having visited the brewery multiple times and spread the word around about Forbidden Peak. However, today I ordered Flight, IPA beer and non-alcoholic Root Bear. The IPA was so good, but the Non-alcoholic Root Bear tasted like it was watered down and my friend didn’t like it after a sip. I informed the gal whom I ordered from, and asked if she could change it to a lemonade. She said yes and poured lemon soda, but then she wanted to charge me for it. Then she said I have to pay for the replacement drink. I said, you agreed earlier because my friend and I tasted it and it had weird taste so we’re supposed to get a replacement drink without paying for a replacement drink. She said no. Then I saw her throw both drinks in the sink. Horrible customer service. Truly HORRIBLE.
