COVID is long gone, no one is wearing masks, but this policy remains. All I can think of is that it's some sort of anti-homeless-people initiative or some other way to keep "unsavory" people out of the store. They still are the best place for the best ethanol-containing beverages and it's their store, they can do whatever they want, I just have no idea why they are adding additional friction to the shopping experience. One other thing: no more chilled cans of wine, you'll have to go to Brown Jug for that now. Why? I have no idea. Canned wine probably has 10X the demand as Sake and...that ethanol containing beverage has a massive cooler dedicated to it.

Instead of continuing to monitor the old bush orders email address and notifying customers of this change, they allowed it to become an email black hole. After my second order attempt in months, I called them only to be told by a Brown Jug employee that "Gold Rush was supposed to notify their customers". Further, although it seemed like they were able to get into the email account after that, and I sent updated copies of my license and liquor permit, they apparently lack the capability to provide a pre-shipping subtotal... either that, or they just decided my request was unreasonable and they don't want to do business with me any more. I might never find out; they still haven't called me back, and I'd sooner order from someone else. Problem is, it looks like Liquor Stores USA North is attempting to buy up all the liquor stores in Anchorage, so you'll soon not have a choice but to put up with their bullshit.

Clearly labeled sections make finding your spirit of choice a breeze and the low shelves makes finding people even easier. My friends split up upon entering but keeping track of each other was simple enough. And the selection! Wow. I saw alcohol here that I can't find anywhere. I immediately regretted not having more time in Anchorage for surely I'd pick up more. Everyone was so friendly here too! Employees were polite but not over bearing. The only downside is the price. We were on a hunt so we went here and then immediately to other stores. We were surprised to find identical product (same brand, type, size) $10 cheaper elsewhere. For the hard to find stuff Gold Rush is the spot, but for everything else there's cheaper elsewhere.

Perhaps the best way to describe La Bodega is as a boutique liquor store. Every bottle is on the…read moreshelf because the owners think you will enjoy it, and it shows. This has always been my first choice when looking for seasonal and limited-release beers and should be your first choice as well. La Bodega (previously Yukon Spirits) appeared on my radar because it's the only place in Anchorage that encourages buying individual bottles of beer. Per-bottle prices are usually the six-pack price divided by six, and they have a box-full of empty six-packs for convenience. Warts: the selection varies, so if you like it you'd better stock up, and they don't have sales, so Brown Jug is the better deal if there's a sale on the beer or wine you want. This being Anchorage, though, I am willing to look the other way if it means that I can have easy access to this much quality beer. Between La Bodega and the Brown Jug Warehouse, Old Seward between 36th and Tudor is definitely the place to be for fans of beer and wine. Located near Natural Pantry. There's an outside entrance, as they are open somewhat later than the mall stores.

I personally loved the mango cider, and tigers blood was another popular one for our party. Remember to save room for dessert because the whisky bread pudding is phenomenal.

Thanks to him, we found two we loved: raspberry cosmic crush and fruit punch. We also had the smoked salmon spread, which was absolutely delicious along with capers on the side. The half Apricot, half Call of the Wild pizza was incredible. The manager kindly let us know they were having issues with the oven and offered to comp the pizza, but honestly there was no way we were letting them do that .....it was that good. The ambience was great, the staff was friendly and attentive, and everyone continuously checked in to make sure we were doing well. The decor of the place gives it such a charming atmosphere, and by the end of the night we were happily enjoying cider flights and soaking it all in. We came here based on a recommendation from a friend in Alaska, and now I highly, highly recommend it too.
