About a 45 minute drive south of Anchorage, Girdwood boasts one of the best breweries we've ever been to! In fact we bring many guests here from all over the world on our guiding job, and many of them comment that their brews are the best tasting they've ever had!

Started as a homegrown business, this place still carries that down home local feel right in the heart of the outdoorsy community of Girdwood. They collab with a sampling of the areas local food trucks who rotate through the brewery to provide some amazing food as well!

Known for its stunning mountain views and outdoor vibes, this spot offers a cozy atmosphere where locals and visitors alike can kick back with a cold brew. They craft a variety of beers, from hoppy IPAs to rich stouts, all made with quality ingredients. The brewery often features seasonal selections that highlight local flavors, making each visit a unique experience. With a welcoming taproom and a spacious outdoor area, it's a great place to relax after a day of exploring the beautiful Alaskan wilderness. Plus, they frequently host events and food trucks, adding to the community feel that makes Girdwood Brewing a favorite hangout.

We love their inside seating and also their outdoor seating areas around firepits! Oh and in case you wondered, they are open year round... Girdwood is a ski town after-all!
