Bleeding Heart Brewery

Stopped in as AK tourists deciding to check out a place that looked a little more interesting then the usual Brewpub... very impressed with the vibe. Nice outdoor patio but we ate inside. Warning the root beer is the sassafras variety so our kids were a little taken aback. I had the chicken salad it was great though a bit spicy, see why they serve the dressing on the side but I went all in. My wife got the Peruvian chicken which was great. My son's a mac and cheese Aficionado and he really liked the bacon mac and cheese. My son got the CBR and said quote "it was really good actually". So this place is a bit more pricey than some other places but the food was delicious. Beers a little more limited in variety than other places, great to support the local Brewery.

Cool hang with lots great funky decor. Some vegetarian option, big open area with homie feel. Lots different beer with nonalcoholic options

This is our favorite brewery in Alaska. The staff is amazing and the atmosphere is fun with a Palmer vibe. They have a wonderful variety of always rotating taps and it never feels like their menu is stuck in one beer genre or another like some breweries. The food here is also excellent. My family likes to come on sundays for their brunch menu it has something for each of us to love.

Support your local Brewers! We had the Valley Trash: Dirty Blonde (unfiltered blond with Kolsch yeast) on the left and Mommy Juice (Imperial hard seltzer aged in a Cognac barrel) on the right. What an amazing place! We have driven past many times but our timing was always off. GREAT place to relax and tell lies about your adventures on the many beautiful trails in the area. Big enough for weddings, events and end of year parties. Many stained glass and rustic furniture art works on display for purchase. Support Local Artists too. The menu(see pictures for beer, cider and food menus as of 04May25, May the Fourth be with you) So glad we finally made it in here, Looking forward to many more visits. The outdoor seating and bike friendly parking is particularly appealing to outdoor adventure. I can see planning a gran fondo around stopping here on the way out and back. The open layout is conducive to many small groups of 10 to eight sharing the space without gettting loud. The laid back folksie music sets the vibe while the Knick-nacks and signage from bygone days in the Mat-Su valley take you back to times when the pace of life was a little slower. A quick head count showed about 50 people, at 150 it would still not seem crowded. Happy to add another Alaskan Local Brewery to the list. So many breweries, so little time. 😀 I don’t know if I will be able to visit, enjoy and document all of our Alaskan micro-brews, but damn it, I’m gonna give it one hellava try. BHB, thanks for all you do, we shall return.

Great brews, delicious food, and chill vibes. Bleeding Heart has a lot of places to sit, a mini library, and uses local coffee and berries to flavor their drinks. Our favorites were the “grounds for divorce” coffee stout and the “mommy issues” sour. My husband got a CBR sandwich with a generous side of the soup, while I had the soup as my meal. The spicy sausage, bacon, and kale soup was soothing after a long Alaskan hike.

One of the most unique and extensive beer selections I’ve seen in Palmer, Alaska! It’s a super creative, welcoming space with great vibes. They offer tasty food, custom-made clothing, and locally roasted coffee—and the crowd is so friendly. Highly recommend! I feel lucky to have discovered this gem. Plus, I scored a vintage mechanic’s shirt with the Bleeding Heart Brewery logo and a technician’s name. ✌️🫀🍻

Love this microbrewery! Great beer, service and food! It is a must stop when in Palmer!

Out of all of the breweries that I’ve had in Alaska this one comes in at #7. Absolutely, hands down, they have the best coffee porter in the state. They need a award for their Grounds for Divorce coffee porter, it’s rich, complex with just the right amount of coffee flavor! I was also surprised by their Basic Bit** sour. One of my favorite parts about this brewery is their relaxed, comfy environment that is so inviting to bring your friends and just sit down and enjoy a cold one! They have outside sitting as well which is great. They offer food as well which was very good!

Bleeding Heart Brewery absolutely nailed it. I stopped in for lunch and had the prosciutto mac & cheese, and wow--this is hands down one of the best mac & cheeses I've ever had. Rich, creamy, perfectly balanced, and the prosciutto takes it to another level without overpowering the dish. I've also had their brunch, and the salmon with cream cheese and capers deserves a shoutout. The salmon is not dry (which is rare), and the bagel is toasted just right--not overly crunchy, just perfect. The outdoor seating is awesome, especially if you ride. This is easily one of the better spots to pull up on a motorcycle and enjoy a solid meal. Bonus points for the atmosphere. And the staff? Absolutely unreal--in the best way. Crazy friendly, welcoming, and they genuinely go out of their way to make you feel like part of their crew instead of just another customer. Great food, great vibes, great people. I'll be back--often.

Awesome vibe!!! Food is unique, well composed, and tasty. Beer isn't too bad either. ;) Would come here over and over. Wish their clothing had some logos that were full color (would live to advertise for them).

Nice cozy atmosphere and great location. Inside quirky details and seating give a fun vibe, or go outside to the patio. Delicious beers and good service.

Awesome vibe & spot! Can't wait to come back! I had their kombucha and it was super tasty!

This super cute Palmer brewery definitely lived up to the hype. We stopped by early on a Sunday morning. They were serving a yummy brunch but unfortunately we didn't have the time to partake. We needed a few tasters to be able to fill a few growlers. Blood Brothers and Brojito is what we chose. Bleeding Heart definitely has the most unique and largest selection of beer on-tap that I've seen in Alaska thus far. Employees were warm and helpful. Their indoor and outdoor space is a vibe worth experiencing. The only con is you have to use a port-a-potty in the parking lot to relieve yourself...I held it till our next stop. We can't wait to return.

This tiny place packs a punch. It's too classy to be a dive. But it's also eclectic and intriguing and, all around, just awesome. I was telling a friend about it the other day and, I was so animated, he said I should treat it like a coffee shop. Just go and read, journal, hang out. I had not envisioned it that way, but it made perfect sense when he said it. Their motto, "Drink like you give a damn!" sort of sums them up in a phrase. I appreciate they are friendly. I appreciate they have "normal" beers and they also have exciting beers that push boundaries and flavor patterns. I appreciate they have a simple menu that is always changing (though I could eat their banh mi any day of the week). They always seems legitimately excited about the food they are serving and it is always really, REALLY good. They chef is welcoming and kind and he seems to really enjoy cooking. I appreciate the outdoor seating in the summer and the comfy benches and seats indoors. Notables - Bleeding Heart is closed on Monday's. It's possible to walk through a gate and get to Matanuska Brewing. Alaska Pickers share this space with Bleeding Heart and, when the hours line up, you can peruse the shop while you sip on a beer.

Favorite spot after a long day. The food is so good and clean. I love the kombucha (non alcoholic) on tap. They have a living room atmosphere and sell local art as well as plants and cool gifts. Love the vibes.

The place doesn't look like a brewery from the outside. We weren't even sure how or where to enter. (Apparently the small door off the parking lot is sufficient, or you can walk around the left side.) Once we figured it out, we found the interior was... eclectic. There were some creative seating options, but not a lot available. Thankfully it was a lovely day when we went, so we sat outdoors. The line to order was long, and they were out of a few beers we wanted to try. Substitutions had to be made. A second flight later on allowed us to taste the root beer, purple nurple, and kombucha. The purple nurple was the best of that lineup. The staff was kind. The food was alright. We enjoyed the Cubano, but the accompanying mac and cheese was cold. We ordered some kind of caprese thing that was nice but unbalanced, with more toast pieces than tomato, basil, and cheese. The napkin provided on the plate was covered in balsamic. It was a novel experience, but not one we deemed worth repeating on our own steam.

We've been here before and enjoyed it. When we saw the updated menu we decided to check it out again. We split the Cuban-Mi sandwich with a side of Prosciutto Mac & Cheese. She had the Beet IPA and I had the Shmurple Heart: All Crayons IPA. The sandwich was ok with nicely toasted bread, gooey cheese and a little vegetable to complete the hybrid. The Mac & Cheese? Wow! I'll get a full order next time. The Shmurple Heart IPA is made with locally farmed purple carrots and was a tasty dark IPA. The Red Beet IPA was flavorful with a good finish. Service was good, the vibe was good and we enjoyed the pub-like ambiance of couches and tables. It was here we felt inspired to plan a future brewery crawl to sample the various micro-brews here in Palmer. We will definitely be back!

We went in on a recommendation. We enjoyed the beers, and were surprised they served food. The plan wasn't to eat there, but after looking over the menu we did. We hade the soba noodles. Wow, so good. The fan fried tofu was so flavorful. The noodles were so good. I had the bratwurst with kimchi and it paired well together. Definitely would go back.

We ended up here on a recommendation from a tour guide from a nearby atv tour (shout out to Hailey). This place wasn't even on our radar, but I'm so glad we went. These were the best beers we had during our trip to Alaska. The flavors were on point and the vibes at the brewery were immaculate. And the food was so good! I was struggling as a vegetarian in AK, but Bleeding Heart came thru with really solid and delicious veggie options. We were here on the last week of their summer menu and I got soba noodles with tofu. So flavorful and well executed. Hands down the best meal I had in weeks time. Loved this brewery so much.

Food and beer were excellent, as was the laid back atmosphere. Highly recommend a stop

Always impressed never disappointed! Great laid back atmosphere, very comfortable. Food is so creative, if you are tired of the same ol stuff come here for something new! The staff is excellent!

During our visit to Anchorage from LA we took a day trip to Palmer. Bleeding Heart Brewery was our first stop and it didn't disappoint. It is a cozy brewery with a great selection. You feel comfortable as soon as you walk in and the staff is helpful in getting you the best beer for your taste. We ordered the cheese charcuterie board with two flights of beer. We tried all but one of the beers in their selection and they were all great or not something we've tried before. The beer selection is smaller than most breweries with about 15 total but good nonetheless. The look of the brewery itself is unique and super kiche in a good way. The brewery is connected to a thrift shop where we ended up getting some music cassettes and a vintage postcard. It was a fun little stop in our day.

Delicious food, relaxed atmosphere and friendly/knowledgeable service. What's not to love.

Industrial setting brewery. Attached to what appears to be a pretty awesome antique store. Unfortunately they're closed! Beer was decent. Staff would be better if they were more friendly.

Bleeding Heart has finally reopened in their new space! Not going to lie I miss the charm of the farm. This new space is gorgeous, and if I've never been to the farm I wouldn't know the difference. I just feel like the farm perfectly encapsulated the quirkiness of this brewery. None the less I am excited for their journey in this new location. They deserve all the success! The beer is still amazing, and some of the most creative brews in the state. The space is very nice, and they share the building with Alaska pickers so you can get some shopping done too while on site. Bigger space means bigger brewing capacity, and they have the tap list to prove it! I didn't try their food menu, but I am excited to go back to sample some bites and see where they go with the food side of things. Excited to have BHB beers back in my life so I can continue drinking like I give a damn!

I want nothing more than support local breweries, but I was a bit underwhelmed with Bleeding Heart. TBH it was probably closer to a two-star experience. Located adjacent to Matanuska in Palmer, this cozy place offers some limited seating inside along with outdoor picnic tables and heaters. The beer list was different than most breweries these days, which could be good or bad depending on your preferences. No IPAs or lighter ales, but several non-beer options for the one who prefer some trying else. The Guillermo el Hippopotamo was tasty (stout with hiracha). They serve brunch until 7 on Sundays. I ordered the chicken and waffles, which were "meh" at best. Come for the beer I suppose, but be prepared for weed smoke drifting in and dirty silverware.

Our group of 6 stopped into Bleeding Heart for a quick drink after a long day's drive. We were visiting in early June and were very pleased with the drink options! They had beers for all preferences and I found the two I ordered to be delicious. I ordered my drinks at the bar and then sat on one of the open couches in the main warehouse area. The bartenders were friendly and offered samples of various beers before I committed to one. The overall feel of the brewery is very laid back and welcoming. The space is relaxing and allows for groups of varying sizes. I would come back here for a drink next time I'm in Palmer.

Stopped in for a late lunch and was extremely happy to have a couple vegetarian options. Opted for the tofu Banh Mi sandwich and chose the Mac and cheese. Both were phenomenal. The beer was great as well!

Great service from the young lady at the tasting. Nice atmosphere and great food. Not the kind you find at most tap rooms. Also a nice little store inside.

Sophisticated, delicious beers paired with well above average food. I don't even like zucchini and I gobbled these up.

Best brewery in the state? Maybe. Smallest brewery in the state? Definitely Worth a stop? Absolutely. About the top points: - The beers here are inventive and daring. Weird ingredients and powerful hops abound. But, don't worry, they also have some "safe" stuff here for all you 'plebs out there. - Their brewing setup is tiny. It's slightly bigger than my old homebrewing setup. This is probably why you don't see their amazing beers on tap in Anchorage. (expand, please, we're dyin' down here!) - The brewery is located right next to working farmland. You'll drink beer among the chickens, gaze out at the mountains, and watch some happy cows. GO HERE!

Amazing! I tried their kombucha and it was awesome. And the hanging lights made the place feel welcoming. But was not so welcoming was that not a lot of people had a smile on their face.

Liked every beer here. Had two flights with seven different beers and one seltzer so that's really saying something! Also had the charcuterie cheese plate, bratwurst, half order Mac & cheese, and the pork chop salad special. Specials rotate often. Intimate and cool seating inside, super sun outside, fantastic view of mountains and Palmer water tower.

The beer here is really good! Super limited seating inside. But they do offer pretzels. I really liked the beer. Very friendly staff. I happened to swing in on a day they had an event happening so it was very crowded. Hey had a bon fire going on so you could take your drink outside.

Very creative brews, sodas, and food. Loved the "who's Brad" homemade cherry cola, "lady parts" brew with hibiscus was tart and tasty, and one I can't remember with orange and cardamom. These accompanied the basil cheesecake with blueberry compote- hella good. All this and you can chill in cool casual furniture and browse antiques. Winning combination guys, keep up the great work!

Thoughtfully crafted beers that are a delight to the palate and senses Chefs create delicious pairings--including vegan choices @bleedingheart has my

Absoultly fantastic food! Great beer and an excellent personalities for the staff! 100% recomend this place!

Excellent beer, music, and customer service. Would absolutely recommend this brewery to anyone.

Beer was great! We enjoyed the mac n cheese as well! Not a ton of seating but liked the atmosphere.

I love this place!! There's a little shop connected and it's cheap and when your done shopping u can come in and get something to eat!! and there's no worrys cause the have gf foods and vegan stuff too. The gf Mac and cheese is to die for in my opinion. But the only thing I wish they had sprite and more sodas but other than that totally think this is the place to be!!

so I have been busy settling down into work and stuff and going out today was a good break. My colleague and good friend from work(who has been living here in Alaska for over 20 years) took me on a tour and the first stop was the Bleeding Heart brewery. This place is literally in the middle of a farm, next to a barn-with chickens running around and cows grazing right behind you while you gulp down some awesome beer. I don't rmbr the names but I tried quite a few of them and they were all really good. I am definitely going back...

Everything about this place screams happiness. The Prosciutto Mac and spring rolls complimented my nitro amber ale amazingly. I'll definitely be back, the staff is friendly and great too!

Service and atmosphere was cold, but so was the beer and that was good. Next time I will just by beer to go.

I apprexiate the rotating kitchen menu- the bacon wrapped dates rival Grape Tap and that's saying A LOT! The soup 'a L' ail is the best hot baby food I've ever tasted!

Best beers we had in Alaska. 49 state brewery doesn't even compare. Nice atmosphere with plenty of seating outside if the inside gets busy.

Amazing! We've been to microbrews all over the country. As far as Vermont and many in SoCal. This is one of our favorites. Gorgeous farm setting. Not one of those annoying strip mall breweries. Very tasty and unique beers. Been to over a dozen Alaska microbrews and this is one of our favorites if not our favorite.

Your search will be rewarded. Just a bit off the beaten path, but well worth the extra effort. For the designated driver in your group, you must treat yourself to the best root beer under the northern lights. Standing room only when we visited. Exclusive distribution means you won't find these microbrews anywhere but here and locally. Bring your friends!

My friend and I decided to stop here after spending a rainy day in Palmer and a visit to Bleeding Heart really turned our trip around. After visiting a bunch of Alaskan Breweries (Seward, Denali, 49er, Kenai) we never expected this brewery would knock our socks off, but it did. We did a tasting flight and fell in love with the beet IPA and black IPA. The coffee stout was on point. Super nice guys running the place and stunning location.

Good beer. Good environment. I look forward to more pints with this inspiring crew. And tasting their expanding Menu.

Honestly it's the coolest brewery that happens to be almost in my back yard. Nothing like a cold night next to a bonfire with some good beer. Not many better ways to drink beer in my book. They have something for Just about any IBU pallet. Just get it here and meet them and try a sampler. Nothing they have is bad.

This is one of the best breweries in Alaska. First they have cows right next to the brewery ok I know what your thinking cows stink. NOPE not these they always have a fire outside the door to sit next to or enjoy. Plus they have great beer selection. Always a must stop if your in the area.

Sit with the hens and the cows in this little brewery in farm country! Oh, and excellent IPA.

Interesting locale for a brewery! The beers are solid and they have quite a few different options on tap which is nice. The seating is a little tricky though, so sidle on up to that guy on the bench and get comfy. You'll be talking about cows, werewolves, or something interesting in no time!

Literally had no expectations. My cousin was headed here so I came down for a beer- was so so impressed. Loved the vibe. Owners seem very friendly. Beet IPA was great. Also tried the Valley Trash Blonde and the Grounds for Divorce- some great stuff. Could easily compete with the microbrews of Northern Cali and Oregon. Small beginnings here in Palmer but awesome beer.

Our favorite brewery from our impromptu Valley brewery tour. The staff was really friendly and the beer was interesting and well executed. Our favorites were Freudian Sip, the beet IPA, the zucchini nut brown, and Unattainable Childhood Happiness (hilarious name for a beer that tastes like Capri sun). Don't miss!!

This place is literally on a farm. If you aren't comfortable around chickens or the smell of manure, probably don't want to hang out here. If that's good with you, it's a really cool place to hang out. Either way, the beer is good. You won't be disappointed.
