About

At Big Swig our philosophy and our outlook on life are one in the same: drink good beer with good friends. It’s really that simple. That’s why it’s important to us that you get more out of our tours than the beer tastings. We want you to leave your time with us feeling like you’ve connected with Alaska and, most importantly, with the people who call this breathtaking state home.

WE LOOK FORWARD TO RAISING OUR GLASS WITH YOU.
