Frommer's Review

Beer lovers and aspiring capitalists will enjoy the tour of Alaska's most popular craft brewery. Now too big to be called "micro," the brewery started small in 1986 when Geoff and Marcy Larson had the idea of bringing a local gold-rush-era brew back to life. It worked, and now Alaskan Amber and several other brews are everywhere in Alaska and many places down the West Coast, and the brewery has won a long list of national and international awards for its brews. The short, free tour, which starts every half-hour, is fairly interesting, with views of the brewing equipment behind glass and an amazing worldwide beer bottle collection, but it's the tasting that makes it fun. They serve free samples of half a dozen beers, often creating an impromptu party in the lobby. Identification is required.
