Making a trip soon. Looking for any good info on the best brews/breweries to locate while in either city. Will only be in each for a day. Looking for sours, wilds, farmhouse, saisons, and bretts first. IPA's are ok too. Any help would be appreciated.
In Anchorage, as long as you're not there on a monday or tuesday, go to Anchorage Brewing. will hit what you want. Otherwise, there's not a ton. Maybe Resolution for some saison.
If you have only a day in each, how much information are you realistically going to even need? Go to Anchorage in Anchorage, and Alibi Room in Vancouver. You'll love Four Winds Brewery (~30 minutes outside of Vancouver, BC). They distribute throughout the city, but a trip out to the tasting room is always nice.
also, if you want something else in ANC, here's the list i came up with recently: Anchorage/Seward, AK May 27-31
Central City makes some great beers. They're located in one of Vancouver's suburbs - Richmond or Surrey, I forget which. They bottle, so you should be able to pick up their stuff without having to go to the brewery (which I think is also a distillery). I'm presuming you are aware of Midnight Sun in Anchorage, which should definitely be on your radar.
