Handcrafted Beers in Anchorage

The Midnight Sun Brewing Company has been in operation since 1995. Their "art marries science" approach to brewing has created some of the most delicious craft beers in Alaska, and throughout the country. The brewers use Alaska as their inspiration for brewing bold, quality beers of award-winning quality. Many of the beers are available on draft throughout Alaska, and the beers ship in bottles to Alaska and Oregon. The South Anchorage brewery offers tours and most guests are impressed by all of the hard work that goes into brewing beer. Within the 10,000-square feet of the space is the brewery, the corporate offices, the warehouse, and brewery store. Midnight Sun produces about 10,000 barrels worth of beer each year. The tours are free of charge and are offered every Thursday evening at 6 pm. They brew seasonal beers, as well as a variety of specialty beers that are only offered on the occasional basis. On "any given Friday" the brewery may debut a new beer and if you are interested in visiting for a particular debut, you should view their website for details. There is a gift shop on premises that offer a to-go bar on Fridays and Saturdays from 4-8 pm and a loft from 11 am to 8 pm daily. The loft is a great place to visit before or after your tour. The shop features beer for sale, growlers, cases, and kegs, as well as some fun souvenirs including glassware, t-shirts, caps, and koozies.
