About 49th State Brewing - Anchorage
49th State’s downtown Anchorage brewpub was acquired at the end of 2015 and opened July 4th, 2016. Originally an Elk’s Lodge building built in 1917, it grew over the decades into a local social club. The three story property located on the water with a view of the Alaska range hosted a private bar, dining area, bowling lanes, and ballroom which made it the gathering place in Anchorage. In 1996, Snow Goose Restaurant and Sleeping Lady Brewing Co took ownership and transformed it into a brewery and commercial restaurant that fit right in with Alaska’s great tradition of brewing.
Now, with 49th State Brewing in residence, the brewpub has added an additional 500BBLs of beer to annual production and maintains a bustling restaurant with two dining rooms, two rooftop patios, a theater, 3 private dining spaces, and a gift shop in this 30,000 sq. ft. space.
