Our Story

BREWED WITH
ALASKA PRIDE

Born on the Parks Highway in the heart of McKinley Park, 49th State Brewery was built on a simple belief: Alaska deserves world-class craft beer. Not something shipped in from the lower 48 — beer brewed right here, with the same boldness and resilience that defines life in the Last Frontier.

Every batch is crafted in small quantities using locally sourced ingredients and pure Alaskan water. Our brewmaster draws inspiration from the wilderness surrounding us — the crisp mountain air, the midnight sun, the untamed spirit of the north — and pours it all into every glass.

OUR BEERS

From hop-forward IPAs to rich, velvety stouts — every beer is a tribute to Alaska's untamed character. Rotating seasonal releases keep things exciting year-round.

Northern Star IPA - hoppy golden ale
SIGNATURE
IPA 6.8% ABV

NORTHERN STAR IPA

A bold West Coast–style IPA with citrus and pine notes, finished crisp and dry. Brewed with Alaskan-grown hops and glacier-filtered water.

Midnight Sun Stout - dark robust stout
STAFF FAVE
STOUT 7.2% ABV

MIDNIGHT SUN STOUT

Rich, roasty, and impossibly smooth. Dark chocolate and coffee notes meet a velvety head. Perfect for long Alaskan winters.

Frontier Pilsner - crisp golden lager
YEAR-ROUND
LAGER 5.0% ABV

FRONTIER PILSNER

Crisp, clean, and dangerously drinkable. A German-style pilsner with a bright hop finish that captures the clarity of an Alaskan summer day.

Denali Amber Ale - copper colored ale
AMBER ALE 5.5% ABV

DENALI AMBER ALE

Caramel malt sweetness balanced by a gentle hop bite. Copper-colored and approachable — the beer that brought us here.

Glacier Wheat - hazy wheat beer
SEASONAL
WHEAT 4.8% ABV

GLACIER WHEAT

Hazy, refreshing, and subtly fruity. A German-inspired wheat ale with notes of banana and clove — like a glacier melt in a glass.

Bushwhacker Porter - dark smoky porter
PORTER 6.0% ABV

BUSHWHACKER PORTER

Smoky, earthy, and deeply satisfying. A robust porter with hints of espresso and burnt caramel — built for the backcountry.

Our tap list rotates seasonally. Call ahead to check what's pouring today.
