Alaskan Brewing Company

Alaskan Brewing Company Review

If you're a beer fan, look for Alaskan Brewing Company. These tasty brews, including Alaskan Amber, Pale Ale, IPA, White, Stout, and Freeride APA, are brewed and bottled in Juneau. You can visit the brewery (and get free samples of the goods) 11 to 6 daily May through September, with 20-minute tours every half hour. Between October and April tours take place Tuesday through Saturday, 11 to 5:30. This is no designer brewery—it's in Juneau's industrial area, and there is no upscale cafe-bar attached—but the gift shop sells T-shirts and beer paraphernalia. You can also visit the brewery's Downtown Depot, on Franklin Street; though you can't sample the beer here, you can find out more about the brewing process and purchase Alaskan Brewing Company gear—or catch a shuttle to the brewery itself for $7.50 each way. Shuttles run hourly in the summer.
