Local Ingredients Power Anchorage's Beer, Wine, and Spirits

No matter what fills the glass at the end, they all start with a superpowered ingredient: crystal-clear glacial water sourced from nearby Eklutna Lake. Besides fresh glacier-fed lake water, Anchorage wineries, distilleries, and meaderies tap into locally sourced ingredients ranging from Delta Junction barley and Matanuska Valley wheat to Alaska-grown berries and fruit. Combine those fresh Alaska flavors with time-tested methods and innovative, creative recipes, and you have a rainbow of unique drinks overflowing with Anchorage character.

Sip a flight on premises; many producers have their own tasting rooms or restaurants. You can also take home a bottle or can to savor later or give as a gift.
