Question, at Ted Steven’s Airport there is 49th State Brewing. Do they have cans to go? Or is it only taps and food? We will be flying out Monday late evening and will probably have dinner and pours before boarding our flight. Just curious if we can bring cans purchased at the airport.
Our last night in Anchorage before heading back to hop triangle heaven, home. After picking up our car rental yesterday at Ted Steven International Airport we had time to kill before checking into our AirBnB so we ended up at 49th State Brewing. This place was huge. Had a full pour of the Solstice IPA and a flight of 4 ipas, including newly brewed Dankorage. The most dank weed heavy ipa I’ve had ever. If you only time for one brewery to visit while in Anchorage this would be it. This was our favorite. I ended up ordering a YAK burger and glad I did. The Dankorage was a perfect pairing with the Yak. After our hikes today we stopped by Anchorage Brewing. Not busy at all. Smaller than what I expected. All hazy ipas. Pretty confusing to find. The back looked like the front and the front looked like the back. Across the street was King St Brewery. Did not stop in. After dinner we hit up the Koot, Chilkoot Charlie. Had a great time at the Koot. Not the best taps but good enough. We got a really nice tour of Koot.he In the late 80’s and early 90’s I visited the Koot. True, this is not a craft beer bar, but has 8 bars with craft beer on tap. We got a personal tour of the entire venue, including the Bird Room and upstairs. I know @blackcloud did not include the KOOT in his post, but his place is probably one of Anchorage oldest dive bars which has 8 different bars throughout. If you go to Koots it does get very busy. We enjoyed Koots very much. But it’s not for everyone.
To answer my own question, yes. There is another 49th State inside the terminal gated area that serves food, taps nd cans to go. Across from them is Silver Gulch Brewing and Denali St Distillary. Ted Steven’s makes LAX look like crap as far as beer is concerned.
@dcgunman sorry i missed you in juneau! i’m out of town for work and haven’t been checking in. sounds like you had a good trip!
Freshly back from the Haines beer fest and found out about a new-ish brewery that I've missed: Palmer Brewing - Had a handful of their offerings and all of them were great. If you're headed through the valley, I'd say they're worth a stop!
We ended up at Palmer Alehouse on Monday after we checked out of our AirBnB in Anchorage. We had 13 hours to kill before our red eye out to mainland. The Alehouse was great with good food and a big taplist. Had a Denali Brewing ipa on draft, Twister something, and one more from another Alaska brewery which I don’t remember now.
