Massive space in downtown, we had a awesome time eating on the outside upper patio protected from light rain by umbrellas. Super busy on this Sunday, I imagine with cruise traffic it's not unusual. We arrived at 4pm and had a 20 minute wait for a table of 8. While waiting we enjoyed the nitro stout and their blonde lager. Staff were friendly and informative. We tried their most popular options which were the yak burger and Krabby grilled cheese sandwich. Both were delicious and massive portions. Would consider starting with sharing portions. Kids loved their signature burgers orders. For my second beer I really enjoyed the Smok lager, really very smoky and massive pour. Highly recommend this spot

We were still there when she did so used their restroom. Not a pretty sight and had to get someone to clean up which turned out to be the manager. She was not very polite or considerate to my daughter and granddaughter. The place is a typical brewhouse atmosphere and my lunch was fine. The server was very nice and was making sure GF items on the tacos were ok. It must have been the cooks in the back not paying attention to her food.

Midnight Sun is tucked away and a bit off the beaten path and is literally just among warehouses. I love me a veggie and pesto sandwich, but mine needed balsamic or something to make it taste less dry. I also thing it being "panini style" on focaccia bread is a mistake because the bread was crumbly and I wonder if they have it on focaccia to differentiate it from the other sandwiches *shrug* My wife loved her pork sandwich the "Sweet Cheeks". If we're ever back in alaska, we'll return. How has this place been around 30 years? One of their anniversary brews said that. Craft beer was a thing in Alaska in the 90s?

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.

This brewery blocked me on Instagram…read more Before I headed there last night for a dear friend's birthday and I wanted to check to see if there would be a foodtruck. 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.

Staff Friendly. Beer is good…read more Place is well set up and feels like a brewery. Name made by AI? I would like the name more if you actualy had brew classes or offered me the ability to do some of the werks.

I can't say enough good things about the brewery…read more I absolutely love their beers. The owner does a really good job creating local ingredients. And working with the community. I have absolutely enjoyed every time. I have come in and love getting their sour starter pack of bottles. It's a great variety of what they have to offer with some of their greats! The high bush cranberry that they have currently is just fantastic. I know that they just came out with a white stout which they do every year and it's delicious. I haven't had this year but I can tell you from years previously it's one of the best beers of the winter. The place is clean and well kept with a beautiful sitting area upstairs and some fantastic chairs downstairs great place to come sit hang out and enjoy yourself. Did you get food trucks from time to time. Honestly, just talking with the owner makes me so happy and going to any of the events that they have to offer is such a learning experience. If you want to learn about beer, this is definitely a place to come hang out.

I had a hazy IPA brewed with Sabro...which is my favorite hop...and one that barely anyone in Anchorage seems to want to use. It was tropical, creamy, and delicious! The Kolsch was a little buttery though, might need some more time in the oven. The crowd and the vibe here were rowdy and fun.
