Brewery Profile

Alaskan Brewing Co. Depot

A downtown stop connected to Juneau’s best-known brewery, the Depot presents Alaskan Brewing Company from a visitor-facing angle rather than as the production site. The company was founded in 1986 by Marcy and Geoff Larson and is described as the first brewery in Juneau since Prohibition, giving it a clear place in the city’s modern beer history. A visitor walking into the Depot should expect access to the brewery’s beverage lineup along with a broad selection of branded merchandise. It is one of three Juneau locations operated by the independently owned company, separate from the Brewery and Business Office and the Tasting Room near the airport.

Travelers in this part of Alaska often look for something tied to place: a local beer to try, a can to bring back to lodging, or a piece of brewery merchandise that reflects the trip without requiring a long detour. The Depot fits that pattern because it is downtown and connected to a brewery whose products are distributed well beyond Juneau. The lineup includes beers such as Alaskan Amber and the WILDNESS ale, as well as hard seltzers and canned cocktails developed through Alaskan Distilling Company. For visitors comparing regional producers, the stop offers a snapshot of a company that has grown from a Juneau brewery into a brand available across 25 states.

Practical expectations should stay simple. The Depot is the downtown location for merchandise and beverages; the Tasting Room, near the airport, is the year-round place associated with access to the latest products. If the day’s specific pours, package availability, or current releases matter, the taproom is the place to confirm those details, since they can change and are not listed here. The Depot makes the most sense for visitors already spending time downtown who want an Alaskan Brewing Company stop without going out to the airport area. Those interested in the broader operation should note that the company also maintains its Brewery and Business Office in Juneau, but the Depot’s known role is retail- and beverage-focused rather than a described production tour site.

Founded in 1986 by Marcy and Geoff Larson, Alaskan Brewing Company revived Juneau's brewing tradition as the first brewery in the city since Prohibition. The independently owned brewery produces a range of beers, including varieties such as Alaskan Amber and the WILDNESS ale, as well as hard seltzers and canned cocktails developed through its Alaskan Distilling Company. Distributed across 25 states, the brewery operates three locations in Juneau: the Brewery and Business Office, the Tasting Room, and the Depot. The Depot, situated downtown, offers a broad selection of branded merchandise alongside their beverage lineup. The Tasting Room, located near the airport, is open year-round, providing access to their latest products.
