    Excellent food!
    Mary A.

    We had a great visit to the brewery. The food truck we ordered from was excellent and the beer, cider and root beer we tried were all delicious. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. We were excited to see a moose and her calf eating on the side of the parking lot which was a real treat. The brewery has really nice seating areas, many with fire pits which was really nice.

    Was staying at the resort and decided to take a 30 min walk to come try the drinks and also the food trucks that are scheduled. Staff was nice and place is clean and roomy. The drink options are wide and varied. The ones I had were great. Would come back again if I had the time.

    A quaint brewery in the heart of Girdwood. They have unique decor that goes with the skiing/snowboarding vibe. They have 3 food trucks outside to order food. They were very helpful and built the flight with their most popular beers. We enjoyed a bit of relaxing time with AMAZING views! This place just has very beautiful views to the surrounding mountains! Be prepared to show ID for alcoholic beverages, but they do have 4 non alcoholic options (2 beers, 1 root beer and 1 kombucha). This is a very casual place that can be family friendly for after hitting the slopes.

    Loved it! Four of us visited Girdwood while in the area for dinner later at the Double Musky Inn. We each had a tap beer and sat outside on benches, shaded by an tent-like shelter. What an amazing August day. Sunny and warm (not hot). Relaxing outdoors with some good brews. Had we not had dinner plans, we may have opted to eat from the several food trucks here at Girdwood. I'd definitely come back to Girdwood Brewing Company.

    Chill | merch | flight Chill: Overall, the vibe of the brewery is chill. It's close to the ski slope and has a pretty no-frills approach with two sitting areas for groups to unite and fellowship. If you want a place to chill, have a beer, and talk, it's a great spot. Merch: they have tons of merch hats, beanies, tees, sweaters, hoodies, and flannels, all with the Girdwood emblem on them, so if you want a keepsake from your time on the slopes of the city of Girdwood, there's a great place to stop in have a drink and grab a souvenir. Flight: I had a beer flight, and I had a range of items at a cider logger, a tropical IPA, and another dark stout. All were tasty. They have various items on tap, and The Staff is very knowledgeable about the pros and cons of each drink. The prices are surprisingly reasonable, given Alaska's proximity to the slopes. Pro Tip: Try their in-house root beer. I had 2 cups of it, which was pretty delicious--some of the best root beer I've had in Alaska. Pro tip: the parking lot is a good barometer for space. The parking lot is packed then the brewery is packed, and vice versa.

    Great beer! Had the stout and loved it!! Fun ambiance and food trucks outside. Staff were great. Also good merch selection

    I love visiting Girdwood Brewing whenever I'm in Girdwood or driving through. Their bar tenders are always knowledgeable and kind and there's always seating inside or outside. The fire pits outside make it a fantastic place to sit in the summer and winter. Their beer selection is great and provides options for people who do/don't like IPAs or other types of beers. They tend to have a great selection of food trucks outside as well. Although anchorage has a great selection of breweries, Girdwood Brewing is a fantastic option to and always worth the stop in

    Girdwood brewing is a must if you're in the area! They have a run rotation of seasonal and adventurous styles as well as their classics. Fun patio in the summer and food truck rotation all week long!

    Great brewery and outdoor seating options! Dog friendly!! They also have food trucks outside with tasty options! I tried the bagel place which was delicious!!

    Samplers and a stout!
    Tiffany R.

    Went to girdwood brewing for the first time last week. I love the vibe inside and out. They had amazing food trucks parked outside and they had my favorite beer: SOURS I will definitely come back when I want to get out of Anchorage. The service was great!

    The seltski and HippySpeedball were really good. The seltski was a lemony seltzer and the hippyspeedball was a coffee beer. We got food from the food trucks and I really enjoyed the sandwiches from the hungry deckhand.

    We flew out to Anchorage for a weekend at Alyeska. Of course, we had to stop at the local brewery in Girdwood. The beer was excellent, and there were two food trucks onsite. We just couldn't find a comfortable spot to chill for awhile--- so we made it a quick stop.

    I've been to about 15 of Alaska's supposed 40 breweries and this one is up there as one my favorites. The taps seem to constantly rotate. The place is usually packed. People tend to share bench space outside and inside, which inevitably generates small talk, or good conversation if you're feeling up to it. This place is very dog friendly. There are routinely at least one - sometimes two - food trucks on premises (Alaska state law does not allow breweries to serve their own food). Kombucha is the only non-alcoholic beverage for the non-beer drinkers.

One of the best beers I've had so far is A deal with the devil double oaked! This beer is made to enjoy! On the sweet side with a hint of caramel or toffee. A sample since glass is plenty for me! It's never really busy when I stop by so it's usually pretty quiet which makes for great opportunities to talk to staff members. They all are so patient, which is appreciated! They have a way to always suggest the best beer depending on what you are in the mood for. All in all, this brewery is a great place to meet up with friends or family.

Unfortunately, they do not offer beer flights, so Colby created his own half-glass sampler, which did the trick. The brewery itself was pretty neat, with large beer barrels incorporated into the décor, including one that guests can actually sit in. Their beer selection was on the smaller side, but we felt the prices were fair. I ordered the Blind Berry Cider, which had a pleasantly tart flavor, though it leaned toward the extra sour side. We thought this spot was great for Instagram photos and a worthwhile stop if you have some extra time while you're in town. Overall, it was okay. I do wish we had known about the outdoor seating options beforehand, as we found the indoor seating area to be somewhat limited. The glassware was pretty cool as well, with several different sizes available. The bathrooms were clean, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. We would definitely return if we find ourselves back in town again.

Enough to keep seeking new ones out but even then that wouldn't last too terribly long and especially if I lived there. Midnight Sun Brewing is one of the Alaskan ones I tried a while back and I felt that the beer I had was very solid and enjoyable. In fact Alaska in general thus far I have enjoyed the breweries there considerably. The beer I had from this brewery was the Panty Peeler which is a Belgian Tripel. A good beer for sure and is a good pairing with fish and chips or a burger. Flavor highlights with this beer are sweet, strong and fruity but all in a well balanced way. The beer goes down smooth and is light bodied. A good beer to start for me with this brewery. I'd loved to try more of their beer options. Love the brewery's swag and have a t-shirt or two and would love to score a hoodie that I had my eye on but it was out of stock so I'll try back later.

They kept not coming up in the IG search results...weird. I initially was worried they went out of business because it said their IG page was down. I warned the birthday girl that maybe that had suddenly closed and joked "unless I'm blocked, lol" to which she replied "they blocked you!" So weird and so sad. Never in my 267 brewery reviews on Yelp has a brewery blocked me from their IG. (that I know of, lol) My only interactions with them on IG are to re-share their reels so my friends know what beers they have on tap or what food truck is out front. I guess if I had to guess it would be that my 3-star review about their being the only brewery in Anchorage that doesn't allow you to taste their beer first must've struck such a nerve that they researched to find what IG account is connected to my Yelp account, and then blocked me. Really disappointing, I always thought the owner/brewer seemed cool but I guess he has thin skin. Their Anchorage-style Pilsner is still one of the best beers in town, hopefully I'll get a pint tonight. Last night I had a west coast IPA and a Cold IPA. Both were good. The fact that you have 3 different IPAs on tap combined with a 3 drink limit by the state of Alaska...really speaks to why tastes are helpful. Still the worst name of any brewery. It sounds like a Temu beer kit that makes murky booze your friends pretend to like.
