"A timber-framed, walkable taproom near the base offering a wide selection of craft beers (plus root beer and kombucha) and a rotating lineup of food trucks—ranging from crepes and ramen to pizza and Mexican—making it a casual après spot for a beer and rotating bites." - Evie Carrick

"Located in Girdwood near Alyeska, this dog-friendly beer garden offers views of the slopes and is a pleasant off-mountain spot for après activities." - Bailey Berg
Loved the apri-ski vibe. Great beers to be enjoyed inside, outside in the sun, or under a tent by a small FirePit. It’s all good. Also liked the two food truck options! Lots of “swag” to but as well!

Thoroughly enjoyed this quick stop just a couple of miles off the Seward highway in Girdwood. Excellent beer and 2 food trucks when I visited. We got a simple but delicious rice bowl. There was also a pizza truck. Would recommend!

Great beer selection. Lots of seating. Good food. Must visit on your trip down or up the most beautiful highway drive ever.

Loved this spot at the base of Alyeska Ski Resort!
Jammed with ski bunnies this craft brewery has some great beers on taps for even the most discerning palettes!
Lots of places to sit down and enjoy the many beers they have on tap!
The place is very clean and they have food trucks outside if you have the munchies (tried HIGH FIVE HAND PIES - it was their first day and it was pretty good!)
Staff are friendly and are pretty chill and get their crowd!
A popular beer here was their FUNKBERRY PIE!
Tried a flight here with the following:
NO WOMAN NO CRYO
FUNKBERRY PIE
DOWN THE CHUTE
HIPPY SPEED BALL
Each of them were pretty good!
On a side note - they have really cool apparel (which is a bit pricey but thats to be expected).
The place has plenty of parking and off the Seward Highway (which is pretty breathtaking).
All in all and really awesome experience that everyone should experience!

Nice atmosphere & outdoor seating. Very limited food options to only 2 trucks & the food was okay.

Girdwood Brewing Company delivers the atmosphere, ambiance, and of course the alcohol! The Malty Amber is well worth the scenic trip to experience and best enjoyed with friends!
