Excellent! On the last day of the trip, we came to HooDoo in the evening, as it's highly recommended. This is a craft beer bar with an amazing atmosphere--highly recommend the 2014 vintage BarleyWine. It's incredibly sweet! read more

REALLY BAD BEERS!!! I usually don't come to post the bad reviews but this time I felt like I had to! This brewery had amazing rating so we went there with very high hopes. We got their beer flight to taste everything on tap and I was so surprised that not a single one was drinkable!!! Every beer tasted so bad!!! All the flavors were off, there was no fizz, h azy was really bitter. I would recommend staying away from this brewery!! read more

Cute spot with a decent beer selection. They have a nice outdoor patio and some seating inside. Staff were friendly. This brewery is where lots of locals were hanging out. read more

HooDoo is not to miss when in Fairbanks. Great selection of brews, indoor and outdoor seating including fire pits, and weekly food trucks. Staff super friendly and knowledgeable. read more

I love Hoo Doo! It's such a refreshing, modern vibe for Fairbanks full of funny, smart, friendly social folks! You'll always come away from a busy day at Hoo Doo having had many fun conversations with perfect strangers who are always happy to chat! Their beer dejection is a bit limited and I wish they would offer a cider and a sour, but that's just a preference. The beer is great! The atmosphere is modern, inviting and beautiful! Rotating food trucks are a thing at Fairbanks area breweries and for a good reason! Because they are fun and are a great way for a brewery to offer food to their guests. In cooler weather the outdoor fire pits are marvelous along with outdoor string lights to further enhance the warmth of the setting. read more

Nice varieties and ambience outside with the fires, great thai food truck for the food!

Great place to hang out. This place gets packed with no seating unless you go outside. The fire pits were pretty. I stood by it to keep myself warm. The place has a nice atmosphere with great beer. Wish they have more seats though. read more

MENU AND FOOD: HooDoo Brewing company has a rather limited selection of beer on tap. SERVICE AND ATMOSPHERE: Service was quick and efficient. Their indoor and outdoor decor were appropriate and appealing. They have fit pits outside on their patio! PARKING: They have plenty of parking in their lot. IMPRESSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS: We both got a flight of beers after a long drive back from Castner Glacier an hour before closing. However, we realized both flights were pretty much identical given the options of beers available. Overall, we would be back for their ambience, but not necessarily for the beer list. read more

So we came in with high expectations because we had their Kölsch at a bar in Anchorage and it was excellent. We tried all other beers in a flight, and they were just ok. English Mild was above average, but nothing really stood out. Very friendly service and fun signage :) read more

Cool brewery with a great outdoor space. Hoodoo clearly has a lot of stuff in order--mostly solid beer, great vibe, excellent and omnipresent merch. It was incredibly crowded for a Tuesday night, and struck me as a popular local spot, for good reason. I did a tasting flight, and the beer was good, though some areas could stand some improvement. Decent gose, surprisingly impressive ESB (not normally my style), excellent stout. On the other hand, the IPA was a bit bland and the Weissbeer very disappointing, with an overpowering and slightly off-putting (to me) banana flavor. My biggest issue with the brewery itself... perhaps you can chalk this up to culture shock, but I really did not appreciate the fact that you just line up to order a beer as if queuing up to get into a club. Sorry, but it is just weird to wait on a line like you're at a grocery store just to order a beer, and frankly just seems un-American to have a bar that does not handle customers as they sidle up to the bar. Inefficient and just demonstrates some poor bar culture, IMHO. The other unfortunate part of my experience here is that I arrived at 6:15, and the food truck for the day--The Alaskan Cheesesteak Company--was out of bread and essentially unable to provide any sustenance beyond fries. I had planned and timed my visit specifically to cover dinner. The brewery was crowded, but not absurdly so. I can't really completely hold the brewery to fault, but... this definitely impacted my experience and made me leave earlier than planned to get an actual meal before getting too drunk! I mean, I love a good brewery and I expect most people would have a great experience here on most nights. There were just enough issues so that my experience here was not optimal. read more

Came here after an amazing dog sledding adventure, and it was the perfect way to unwind! The beer was fantastic, and the vibe was warm, friendly, and inviting. Loved the cozy atmosphere and great service--definitely a spot we'll return to next time we are in Fairbanks! read more

Want to stay nice and warm and feel good on the inside.. this is the place to try! We ordered a flight of beers ( the barley wine is strong and good lol) and I had the stout which was really good and a nice size! Just needed one lol the fire place outside was very much appreciated as well! Our lady that took our order was friendly and helpful especially since we aren't from Alaska and helped us choose some food flavors. read more

Came here during a really cold night. We went inside and the staff was welcoming and friendly. Not a huge list of beers so it was easy to pick, especially when they allow you to taste before making your choice. I went with their BAVARIAN WEISSBIER. I really liked the subtle banana taste and the cloves made it feel like winter. After paying is when we got a bit of bad news... because of Covid they have a max capacity of people allowed in their taproom. So, we were allowed to come in and buy the beer but would have to stay outside to drink it. At first it was fun, with their firepits, but there was not sitting arrangement next to them (maybe for safety reasons but during Alaska winter it's too cold to be far from the fire). So we had to stand in minus 14 (and wind) weather, drinking a cold beer. After a bit it got tiresome, boring, and very cold so we ended up not having a second one. Really liked the place, the vibe and the beer but wish they had thought/ planned better the outside. Just make sure you check their site before going, if you want to enjoy some beers there. Found out later you can reserve your spot in the taproom ;) read more

On our last night in Fairbanks, we made our way to HooDoo Brewing Company to enjoy some local craft beer. Luckily, I looked them up ahead of time and saw that a reservation was needed in order to be guaranteed indoor seating. This is an extra safety measures they are taking due to COVID-19. Since the temperature in Fairbanks was -20° outside, my husband and I did not want to risk having to stand outside by a fire with our beer. I made a reservation for the two of us for 4:30 PM. The entire brewery was at capacity, given the COVID-19 restrictions. I thoroughly enjoyed their pumpkin beer and ended up drinking only that. My husband tried their Hefeweizen and enjoyed it as well as one of their IPAs. There was a food truck parked outside, which we ended up enjoying for dinner. Their indoor seating may be limited right now, but there is plenty of patio space with several fire pits. There was plenty of parking available and their beer is tremendous. read more

Good beer, beautiful facility with seating inside and out and friendly staff. Besides the two or three beer rule, this place is great. read more

HooDoo Brewing Company - a pint of beer - Breweries Near Me - Fairbanks, Alaska

Updated review, 1 year after my first! HooDoo is still a treat. Things have changed a lot since I was last here. (I'm a fair-weather summer Alaska traveler) HooDoo has expanded their outdoor seating, added a pallet fence to enclose it, and put up a nice big semi-permanent tent for extra shade. Their Covid prevention practices make me feel safe, even as a health care provider and there were MANY people when I went. No current indoor seating, and as you enter you are given an assigned seat to enjoy with your group. Masks are required unless eating or drinking. Social distancing enforced while waiting in line. I also think my favorite beer has changed to the Gose- an easy drinking sour with a hint of salt. read more

Tonight was my 1st at HooDoo Brewing Company & there was a large Friday evening crowd. There was a wait to order beers put the people watching kept us entertained. We ordered the Bauarian Weissbier, New England IPA & HooDoo Stout of the 3 the stout was the best we even brought a 4pack home for later. The on-site food truck tonight (Arctic Habanero) was available but the wait after ordering was way long & several groups didn't get their food until way past closing. The beer crowd was pleasant, staff friendly, seating plentiful. All in all a enjoyable time. read more

One of my favorite parts about visiting the 49th state, was the amazing beer and brewery scene offered. HooDoo is either my first or second favorite of the breweries I has the pleasure of enjoying. Tastes a bunch of their beers but just know that at some point, state laws prohibit you from consuming over a certain amount. That part didn't feel very Alaska but the hospitality and awesome vibe definitely did. Staff here were super nice and accommodating through health restrictions. The burger food truck available the day I went was delicious and even though I'm a dramatically cold Californian, I enjoyed drinking my beer by the fire pit. Wish I could've stopped by again, definitely hit this spot up if you make it to Fairbanks. read more

Place has a cult following. I had a few different types of their beer, it just doesn't hit like it should. They short change everyone on how they fill up glasses of beer. Should never be an inch or more of head. Staff need to be trained or maybe the supervisors need to be trained. Their merch game is legit though and they have a ton of seating mostly outside which I could see pose a problem at some point. No desire to go back. read more

If you like beers that's an Awesome place in Fairbanks, we had a great tour provided by the owner, Bobby showed us the entire brewing process and in the end we could try their fresh IPA straight from the tank! Strongly recommend making a reservation in advance and taking the tour! After the tour we got some more beers from the taproom and enjoyed at the patio area. Beer recommendation: Kolsher IPA Both taste amazing!!! read more

Fun place to gather with friends. Servers at the bar were attentive and knowledgeable. Enjoyed the flight of beers. Food truck looked awesome as well. Hope to get one of the HD/BC shirts next time (out of the XLs!!!). read more

Excellent local beers on tap. Tasty food trucks outside by the beer garden. Nice place to kick back for a bit and unwind.

Excellent local craft brewery! Came on a Wednesday around 4PM and it was pretty crowded. Love that there's a fire pit outside to hang around (it was about 20F when I went). I heard that you have to make an appointment to sit inside, but it looked a little bit too crowded for comfort comfort anyway. Masks are required upon entry, but it doesn't seem too COVID-safe since nobody was wearing a mask or sitting spaced apart--it looks like most of the locals that were there didn't really care or maybe I'm just used to Los Angeles's distancing measures. The outside fire pit is super spaced out though! My favorite was the cream ale! I took only a couple sips of my boyfriend's flight because I had to drive, but I'm glad we made this stop during our trip! read more

Well I made it. Just had the flight of beers for the day, amazing! Finished her off with a 16oz IPA. Great place to get some local beers hang out and mingle. Pro tip- get there early if you want a seat. There is outdoor seating but right now it's -4 and I am not from here, lol. Enjoy! You will love it. read more

Hits all of the notes. Tons of outdoor spacious seating, delicious beers, and modern space. I can definitely see how their ordering system would not be ideal (one long, long line at one point), but I was lucky enough to hit good timing. They also had a super yummy food truck outside with rice bowls that we demolished. I could easily hang out here for hours and drink until sunset. read more

Look Ma! I finally found a cool place in Fairbanks! This is a hip, chill brewery in a semi-industrial part of town. Which is to say: it's a craft brewery. Like many breweries in the 49th state, they don't serve food. They do often have a foodcart here though. I thought the beer was above average and I appreciated that they brew lagers in addtion to ales. Must-visit if you're in Fairbanks. read more

Unfortunately letdown, the drinks and atmosphere weren't great. I was here on a Thursday night to try it out and wanted to leave because it was so crowded, feels more like a party bar than a brewery setting. Tried the common and kölsch and they both didn't impress. read more

The place to go for a beer in Fairbanks, hands down. Excellent selection. Try the Kolsch. The environment, even in the cold of winter, is enjoyable. Bring some Thai food from Bhan Thai and go out here for a beer. read more

Very cool spot with a variety of beers. They had two food trucks the day we visited. Great service and plenty of space to sit or stand. Kid friendly. Would be a great spot for Friday afternoon or weekend get together with friends. read more

Great atmosphere- friendly staff and patrons. Junior hockey day, so little kids underneath all the tables (refurbished cable reels?). In house food truck service (-30 below). Even so, no wind made the outdoor fire pit an experience. Introduced to a strange Alaskan law, which says no more than 36 oz at a time (not about safety - seemed to be businesses squabbling about the breweries popping up in the State. Great beer, by the way. read more

Great beer! The atmosphere is amazing with indoor and outdoor seating! I highly recommend grabbing a beer from here

I was so looking forward to visiting this brewery. We arrived and first I noticed the Oktoberfest decoration over the outdoor area. Great for adventurous groups to want to defy the cold weather of early October. The indoor is a brewery (DUH!) with nice tables and a small bar area. We ordered two flights. Six beers were available that day. My favorites Stout, IPA and the Oktoberfest. They also sell merchandise with their logos (by the year). Got a handsome 2018 t-shirt with an Oktoberfest moose imprint. Special mention to the attentive ladies behind the bar! read more

Great atmosphere, lotsa locals, and 'beer tasting'? This place was the bomb. On a Tuesday afternoon around 4pm there was a line snaking out the door. Friendly staff kept things moving, even with them chatting and handing out small tasters. There's a two-beer limit as -technically- this is a brewery, not a bar. Great range of beers on tap, a taste for most palates. I tried the banana weiss but wasn't a fan, the saison was more to my taste. Outside there were benches and tables in the all-day sun. Kids and adults enjoying the weather. Food wise, there was a cheesesteak food truck pulled up alongside. Separate review. read more
