    The very best Root "Bear" you will ever drink!
    Naomi S.

    Ate here a while back and had their Root Beer and it was absolutely delicious. Today we went solely for the Root Beer. I asked about to-go and they canned them for me. My husband couldn't wait until we got home and I had mine with dinner. I was trying to figure out out to take some to my mom in PA.

    This was a fun spot. Good beer. Nice sized gift shop with interesting things. Place was clean and the service was good. We ate at the place inside the brewery and thought it was good.

    If you're looking to get away from the crowds in Juneau, this is your spot. We were taken here by a local and enjoyed the water views and large, spacious taproom. They also offer outdoor seating with modern fire pits. There's a window to order food that's separate from the brewery yet located inside. We were helped by the friendly staff and enjoyed our tasting flights.

    Flight. The first is a seltzer, my +1 was a Porter. All very good. Loved the Bigfoot theme.

    We stopped in after a long day in downtown Juneau to relax away from the cruise crowds. Located across from the ferry port and near Mendenhall glacier (Tongass National Forest), the brewery does a brisk business but it's pleasantly busy and didn't feel crowded. The large outdoor space helps, although the weather wasn't particularly good the day we went for seating outdoors. The beer list is very good both in number of beers and diversity of styles-something for everyone! There were even several seltzers on tap. I got a flight +1 because of my inability to make a decision. The person helping us was made great suggestions and even found a solution for filling my non beer drinking friend's last spot on her flight. Food is available and looked fantastic but we were drinking only for our visit. The ramen looked especially good for the chilly drizzly day.

    Stopped in for a few beers and some food to go. Bartenders and wait staff were great at recommending beers and food. The taproom was beautiful. Beers I really loved. Good place

    I liked this brewery, but I didn't love it. Despite some other reviewers complaining about the beers being too heavily loaded with edgy styles (sours and hazies)...I kind of have the opposite complaint. The beers here were really good, I just wish there were some more modern styles available. But maybe this is just a function of the time of year I was here. (early January) The space is big and beautiful and the service is great. The location is about as far from downtown Juneau as you can get. Locals probably like it this way. But if you're not a local, you're going to pay some big bucks in Lyft fees to get here! I recommend coming here before going to the airport. For me, the highlight of this place is the food. A separate business, Red Spruce AK, is situated inside. They a small number of thoughtful items with an insane amount of variety between them, check 'em out: https://www.yelp.com/biz/red-spruce-ak-juneau

    Tried the cranrazz and watermelon hard cider. Both were crisp and refreshing. Amazing views of Auke Bay.

    Happened to stop in when a seasonal event and artist pop up was happening.

    I'm not a beer drinker but the food is great here (menu is short) and they have a house rootbeer. Nice vibe.

    While visiting Juneau again we of course stopped by the brewery, better day as it was not raining but rather a nice cool early evening. Drinks , tried some of the local beers again, very good nice & cold , tall glass hard to go wrong. This time around we tried some food they have an in house vendor on property this is nice & convenient. We tried the Burger & Fries, good burger , fries could be better had too much seasoning. also tried the Fried rice, not bad if you like spicy it had quite the kick, best thing for me was the Pretzel oh man super soft, great on it's own good with the cheese dip. One of the best things about this is of course the lovely scenery outside, nice views while sipping on some good beer.

It was peak lunch time and the advice from the cruise was apt in that it wasn't difficult to get a table. Between both buildings, they do have plenty of seating, which is a mix of bar sitting and high-top tables. I really do like the vibe of the building as it does have that relaxed, pub feel. Definitely better than waiting in line elsewhere. Of course, we did try some food and the king crab. Just opted for one pound and that was more than we needed to get our fix. It was succulent and delicious and if you are like us where you just want to try it, 1 pound for 2 people is just fine given the price ($99 a pound(!), which is cheaper than the more touristy places). We topped it off with a side of the delicious fries (Beer Cheese Hop Salt Fries) and a few pints, it made for quite the perfect afternoon in Juneau. So if you are looking to get in your King Crab fix and not break the bank, while also finding a place a bit more relaxed, highly recommend the Alaskan Brewing Public House.

    Went to Alaskan Brewing Public House on Franklin Street in Juneau. Right downtown by the ships. Big…read moreopen room with that high wood beam ceiling and the metal stools. Pretty packed with other cruise folks. We just got one order of fish and chips and split it. Menu says 8 ounces of Alaskan halibut in a gluten free batter they make with their lemon lime spruce tip seltzer. Came as two pieces. Batter was crisp and golden brown like it should be. Fish inside was white and flaky. Fries are the hop salt fries. Little cup of tartar and a lemon wedge. The fish was good. I will give them that. But $38 for two pieces of fish and some fries is ridiculously stupid. That is just price gouging for the cruise crowd. Really disappointed we paid that. Service was moderate at best. Nobody was rude. Nobody was all that on it either. And watch out for the birds. They have pigeons walking around on the wood floor inside the building. One was pecking crumbs right by the glass where the kegs are. They take off and flap over the tables too. Feathers and the occasional bird doo doo. There is no way somebody hasnt gotten splattered at some point. Would eat the fish again if it was half the price. Not rushing back at $38.

At first it was okay experience, we got on a school bus that brought us to Mendenhall Glacier Visitor Center, we got only one hour to walk around, it was good but wish that we have 30 more minutes. We did see the Nugget Fall, it was amazing. Then they brought to do the Whale watching, this was amazing, we have the perfect weather. The boat that we were on was nice and clean, also it was steady that no one just seasick or anything. At a moment our boat captain did couple of faster turns, it felt great didn't even felt like anything happened. Yes we saw lots of whales and it was great to see our tour guide and captain excited with us to see the amount of whales. Also once we stopped we were able to go outside of boat to see the whale. The best part is really our Captain Austin, he was amazing. My elderly mom was not able to move that much so he make sure that we parked the boat on the side where she can watch it. Also, with his great experience he can predict around when or where the whale will come out. It was amazing. The tour group with Jake the party bus and our captain Austin, they are some of the best. Also we were cutting close to get back on the cruise, Jake dropped us off right in front of the cruise with 15 mins left to spare.
