Perfect stop after a day at Denali. The place is huge with indoor and outdoor seating. It was big time raining when we were there so the outdoor area was shutdown. They have about 20 beers on tap from IPAs, lagers, sours, ciders and everything in between. We all ordered flights to try as many as possible. There's a giant pizza oven and the pizzas were really good. They are personal pizzas and I honestly wish they were classic small, medium, large options. The merch section is huge and honestly for Alaska it will be the cheapest shirt you find. I love my new shirt for $25. The whole place is fun and clean and again the perfect place for a long day outside. And great for big groups too read more

Husband and I have been Alaskan residents for the past 4 years now? We decided to do a weekend getaway and happened to spot this place. Like any other brewery here in Alaska, we went in kind of with the assumption like it would be any other place. How we were so wrong. As a former Yelp Elite, these food reviews and experiences do a lot for visitors, travelers, and even residents who decide to be tourists for a day. Customer service is an all time necessity. People come to Alaska for many reasons, but for many it's for the experience and nature. Dropping by these restaurants or cafes make or break a lot for travelers, so here's my 100% candid experience. First, the atmosphere of the brewery is 100% top notch. It's clean, it's beautiful and it's very comfortable. Tables are available inside and outside and although I came with just my husband, plenty of people were here with children. I'd say it's a family friendly place. Second, beer is not served on tap. Beer is served from a can. It's the same with a lot of things from their menu, served from a can. Idk, I was surprised. So here is my experience. My husband and I walked right up to the bar and I had asked is they could do a whiskey mule, and my husband asked for a Bavarian beer. Unfortunately, the gentleman who was serving us was completely not customer friendly AT ALL. A young lady was literally serving another couple their "most expensive whiskey". The couple offered us a taste of the whiskey and I had expressed how good it was! My husband and I took a moment to look over the menu, look at the line of whiskeys they had on display, and we were waiting for someone to help us. The gentleman behind the bar took a minute before helping us, and when he did, 1) he barely said a word, 2) told us "everything is precanned, we don't make anything. The customer service at the bar was awful. I think managers caught on and excused the gentleman from the bar right after us. We happened to order a pizza the same time and the people in the kitchen were AMAZING. Super helpful and friendly. Customer service goes a long way. I sincerely hope this place takes these reviews into consideration. For travelers and visitors, perhaps getting the drinks and food to go, and have fun elsewhere. read more

Denali Brewing Co is a nice place to stop in and eat in Talkeetna. Our waitress was very friendly, the sweet potato fries were scrumptious, and the beer menu is expansive. I'd recommend DBC to anyone stopping in to Talkeetna. read more

Denali Brewing Company - Breweries Near Me - Talkeetna, Alaska

First time visiting the tasting room while in Talkeetna. We had tried Abaddon the night before with dinner and my partner wanted a growler to take back home after our trip. First this is a nice building and set up. Big roomy parking lot, outside seating, large inside. They sell food here too, which we were unaware but thought that was pretty cool. So why the 3 stars? Like I stated above it was our first visit. We saw Abaddon on the digital border and got excited and ordered a growler. The woman at the register was very snarky with us that can logo next to the names means there is NO draft available. While I understand that, tone and deliverance make a huge difference to me. I admit I didn't even notice the cans next to some of the names. I did not say anything about the interaction, but my partner brought it up and validated my experience. We did pick up a 4 pack of Abbadon and we decided to try the Mother Ale in the growler as we both like pale ales. We should've tasted it first. It was very bitter and we both didn't enjoy it. I'm not sure I'll return. There are plenty of other good, friendly breweries within the state with a lot of yummy beer.. read more

Of course we hit this location off season! Serve your self (order here, pick up here and clean up) however they have a good selection of beer, ciders and cocktails! Food overall is general fare: pizza, sandwiches, and salad. Nothing you can't find anywhere else read more

Food was delicious and Jess our waitress was great. We had the brisket and the salmon. Salmon was so fresh and tender. Brisket was good well without being overdone. Yum. The smoked cod chowder was to die for and you have to have the brownie. They make all their food and it was awesome. Jess was the best, great service and great sense of humor. Loved her read more

Every time I'm going through Talkeetna, I need to stop at the Denali Brewing company! There brewery continues to grow and their variety of IPA's, stouts and ciders is hard to make in the state.

This taproom used to be super small, but last year they completely revamped the space! It now has a restaurant with Woodfire pizza, salads & bar bites. You can sample all of their products which include their craft beer, mead, cider, and craft cocktails with their in-house distilled spirits. The space is much larger with ample seating inside & done picnic tables outdoors. There is also a big bar space for tasting & ordering. Denali Brewing has certainly expanded their drink offerings from just their beers. They have some really delicious and innovative products on the menu. I absolutely love their canned cocktails, and really enjoy their mead. The food menu isn't super large, but their pizzas are actually very good. I feel as if there's definitely a surplus of pizza restaurants in Talkeetna, but they're not all good. The pizza here actually impressed me. It's wood fired, and the crust has a great flavor & texture. Toppings were abundant & the pizza sauce was good. I also really enjoyed the kale salad. It was a great portion size for $12 and super flavorful. If you don't want to deal with going "into town" when visiting Talkeetna this is an excellent option for good food & libations. read more

Great lunch and super craft beer. We will be back next time in Anchorage. Self service, but easy to navigate.

Would have stayed for more than a beer, maybe have eaten or bought some merch but the gal behind the counter was the rudest person. We drank our beer and left. read more

Denali Brewing was one of few quality stops near our lake-house rental. Once we finished all the brew we hauled in with us, we stopped in, 10minutes before closing on a weekday. The employees were not only welcoming but completely unfazed. We were still given great customer service. They wanted us to try everything but we knew they were about to close (and we were on our way to pick-up Thai food), so just wanted to purchase a pack of cans real fast. We chose a chill lager that was both refreshing and smooth. Mission accomplished. Can't wait to return to try their pizza, meads, and other rotating tap options. read more

A must when you are in Talkeetna! We had no luck finding a restaurant in Talkeetna town area that was opened. So we were calling restaurants in the surrounding area and Denali Brewing was the only one opened. We didn't have much expectation but man I wish I have found out about this place earlier. This brewery has a huge tasting room with modern decor. When you step in you see an open kitchen on your left. Just head straight to the staff at the back to order your drinks and food. Besides beers they also have a good selections of cocktails and ciders. I'm not kidding I haven't had a cocktail this good in a while. Just keep in mind they do keep track of how many drinks you have ordered. Drink sensibly. We ordered buffalo drumsticks, mezze platter and pepperoni pizza. The drumsticks tasted much better than most buffalo wings I have tried. The drumsticks were oven roasted so were not greasy at all and the sauce was not overpowering. Pizza was very delicious. You could tell all the ingredients were of high quality. I usually just eat one slice of pizza at a time but I finished the while pie by myself it was just so good. Staff was also friendly. I had a great night here. This brewery will be another reason why I have to visit Talkeetna again. read more

Must stop in! My husband and I had an unfortunate run in with COLD burgers just down the street so our expectations were somewhat low, hot food. The Denali Brewing Company exceeded every expectation. The establishment is kept clean, everything you need is at the table and the servers are speedy. From the beginning, walking back to our seat, BAM, we see a dog so already a win, both the beers we selected were delicious and so were the burgers. Looking at the reviews we may look into their pizza next time. Stop in! read more

Stopped by after a hike to enjoy the Denali Brewing Company. Walked up to the counter and the man who asked what we wanted was a complete jerk. Asked if they had a whiskey mule and I think he didn't even know that they have a mule. He was so rude it ruined the entire event. Tired of these small town people treating their customers like a problem. You should probably go get a different job. read more

On our drive from Fairbanks back to Anchorage, we decided to spend the night in Talkeetna. Before checking into our accommodations, we stopped at Denali Brewing Co. to enjoy a pint or two. When we arrived, we were the only customers but the staff was more than willing to start a fire outside for us. By the time we left, there were several other patrons and we enjoyed chatting and hanging out with the locals. Due to COVID-19, they are only offering outdoor seating. Since it was a chilly day, they do have several fire pits placed around, ready to be lit. The staff informed us that they are working on a tasting room and hoping that it will be done by Thanksgiving so that they can follow social distancing mandates while serving customers indoors. I thoroughly enjoyed their blonde ale called Mother Ale. My husband was a fan of their red ale (I believe). They have awesome merchandise ranging from shirts and sweatshirts to beanies as well as products made by local artists. We enjoyed their beer so much we ended up having dinner at their restaurant which is located in downtown Talkeetna. read more

I'm surprised you dont have to cook your own food. Stand behind a register and collect the money. No service at all. Get your own water, beer, food but pay premium prices. 10 oz beers! Draft no less! Joke. read more

Heading back from Denali to Anchorage we stopped by for a bite and a beer. I found out that they not only make beer and tasted some nice mead. Ordered a pizza, a salad and a couple of beers (not pints offered?) 12 oz pours. We enjoyed the IPAs. Food didn't take long. Pizza is individual size, salad pretty big. Both tasty. Definitely recommended! read more

They have a huge selection of alcohol on tap. The spruce tip gin was really good. I didn't like any of the beers we tried. They all were extremely bitter with overtones of whatever style they were supposed to be. Great store though. We also tried the mule. Husband liked the sharp gingery flavor. I didn't like that it has no fizz. read more

Other than the beer, it's good! I stopped by here on my drive to Anchorage from Denali. The place is pretty cool and had outdoor and indoor seating. They were not requiring people to wear masks either! They have a wide variety of beers, seltzer's, ciders, and even draft cocktails! I decided to get the blueberry mojito draft cocktail and was really impressed! It was fresh and came with a lime to squeeze which really made all the flavors come out! I also ordered the mezze appetizer and the meat lovers pizza. Both did not disappoint! I would order these again in a heartbeat if I ever came back! They also had a ton of merchandise for sale and the prices seemed reasonable. I didn't spend too much time here but loved everything about it! read more

UPDATE: the owner contacted me and let me know that the oppressive brewery laws are to blame for my only negative of this place. You are only allowed a maximum of 36oz in one sitting at a brewery. On a personal note, I've noticed other breweries being very diligent on monitoring how many beers you've had lately. Turns out this has always been the law, it's just now being very strictly enforced. The 12oz "pints" are so you can have 3*12oz = 36oz beers rather than 2*16oz= 32oz (and a dangling 4oz beer leftover). Makes sense to me, awarding my 5th star now! Great locals-only spot! Seriously, I live in Anchorage, have been to Talkeetna dozens of times and...I'm only just now visiting. Why? No idea. This is way more of an actual brewery that the "downtown" brewpub. They've got lots of limited-edition beers on tap, a lot like Moose's Tooth. They are also generous in letting you sample before you commit to a pint. Speaking of pints...the pints here seem...a little small. Surely they aren't actually 16oz? That's the only reason they don't get 5-stars, weird move guys. read more

Man this place was great. We enjoyed all the drinks we had, and the beer was tasty as could be! The food was also spectacular as well. The pizza was so good, I still want to have more, and I am in Texas. I would consider walking up there for the pizza--yep, that good. Bartenders were great, service was great, awesome gift store. A wonderful stop driving down into Talkeetna. read more

We ordered 2 ham and cheese panini sandwiches for $32. It came with pickle spear and a small bag of chips. This was a huge let down, because I could have fixed the same thing at my house. Nothing special about it at all and extremely bland. We also had to move from were we originally sat down because of Salmonberry tour group wanted our table. We should have just left. I guess the tourists get priority over residents. read more

Of all the breweries we visited in Alaska, this was my favorite. Being from Denver, we know good beer. This is good beer. I got a flight and enjoyed everything. Flanders red ale is my favorite and the gose was my next favorite. Between me and my husband, we tried a lot of beers and were pleased with every single one. The bartenders were also attentive and friendly. We also went on the brewery tour which was really chill and enjoyable! Highly recommend this place if you find yourself in the area. read more

We came in right at last call but that didn't stop them from being very helpful. We had not eaten yet and they don't have food but we tried some beer and ended up purchasing a growler to go. They were also helpful about recommending that we go to their location in town that was open longer and that was a full restaurant. I really appreciated the care they took to explain the different types of beer and to let us sample the ones we were curious about. It was also quite busy because it was last call and they were trying to close, but that shows the care and attention that they gave to us, which is why I'm giving them a five star rating. Even though we didn't hang out, we felt very welcome and received very good service from the staff here. And the beer was great! We decided on a sour beer but this local brewery provides many different types of good beer, as we tasted. read more

We walked in with 10 minutes to close. We thought we had an our and 10 minutes but found out this was different than Denali Brewpub. The new hazy IPA they had just put on draft that day was to die for. One of the best hazy's I've had. The Mother Ale we got was okay. Wouldn't get that one again, but with such a good hazy I would just get 2 of them next time. We got two self sized pizzas as well. They were okay. Not the best, but edible. The staff was awesome. Most places are annoyed when you walk in with 10 minutes to close and I would never knowingly do that. The guy explained we looked at their other brewery that was in town and that it happened a lot. He said no sweat about ordering with only 10 minutes left, that they would be there far past close any way. They were very accomodating and super friendly. read more

While on a 300 miles road trip to nowhere in particular we saw Denali off the side of the road and they were actually open!! So we pulled a Dukes of Hazzard trophy worthy u-turn. We traverse the iced over parking lot to enter a little slice of heaven. The waitstaff was very friendly and informed me that I could only legally enjoy 3 beers which was tracked on some goobermint mandated card with check boxes. I have and IPA and a stout. My wife dainty enjoys her Huckleberry Collins (2 thumbs up from her). While I am eyeballing a cool tshirt a dude (employee) driving a laptop, spreadsheet and a cell strolls over to offer me a free taste of their home made Spruce Gin. Historically I am a beer, bourbon and Scott guy. However being an ex sailor I typically don't turn down free booze. Shockingly the Gin was good, really good. Well played Mr Laptop as I now have to pray the bottle I bought makes it back home unbroken in my luggage. PS. Buy more of the burgundy colored t-shirts Mr Laptop. I already have too many black colored booze, sexual innuendo and firearms related t-shirts already. read more

It's not too hard to imagine yourself heading in for a beer when trying to make it to catch a glimpse of Denali on your way to Talkeetna. ::typical tourist:: The place looks huge, but there's really just cocktails, spirits, and beers. Not much space inside other than buying some items they sell, but the drinks speak for themselves. We were lucky to have Fireside Grill right in the lot. Their curry popcorn was incredible and we also tried their gourmet popsicle and that was also ACE. Definitely a place to check out on your way to Denali! read more

In the area fishing and lucked upon this spot. A brewery through and through from the outside but when you enter the tasting/dining room a completely different feel. A beautiful and large room with ample seating, shirts, glasses, etc for purchase. They have an open kitchen serving primarily pizza, soup and salads. Across the room they have a bar with several selections on tap as well as canned. There's also plenty of seating outdoors and you have bring your furry friends too! I had the meat lovers pizza which was piled with ample meats and cheese atop a crunchy crust with soft inside. Not the best pizza in Alaska but that's not what you come to Denali Brewing for. All the beer flavors and pours were generous and tasty. Only thing better than buying it in Anchorage is getting it at the source. A great spot to relax after a day on the water, enjoying great food and beverages. I'll be back next time I'm in the area for sure! read more
