Brewery Profile

Bearpaw River Brewing Company

In Wasilla’s craft beer landscape, Bearpaw River Brewing Company gives visitors two ways to encounter its beer. The original taproom is on Palmer-Wasilla Highway, while the newer Railroad Avenue site combines a brewery with a pizza restaurant. A visitor walking in should expect a beer-focused stop built around current draft options, packaged beer, and growler fills rather than a fixed list that never changes. The brewery makes year-round beers alongside seasonal releases and limited one-off brews, so the tap list can reflect both familiar choices and shorter-run batches. Beer is available on draft and in cans, bottles, and growlers, with 5-gallon kegs offered for pickup.

Travelers moving through this part of Alaska often look for places that feel useful as well as local: somewhere to try regional beer, get a meal, and compare lighter and darker styles after a day on the road or outdoors. Bearpaw River fits that kind of stop because it produces both ales and lagers and does not appear to organize its identity around only one narrow style. The range of year-round, seasonal, and limited beers gives visitors room to sample what is available that day, while the Railroad Avenue menu broadens the visit beyond beer. Pizzas with varied toppings, salads, craft sodas, and kombucha make the newer location a practical choice for mixed groups, including people who may not be drinking beer.

For planning, the main distinction is between the two Wasilla addresses. The Palmer-Wasilla Highway location is the original taproom, and the Railroad Avenue location is the larger food-and-brewery stop with the pizza restaurant. Anyone looking for the current draft lineup, packaged formats, growler availability, or keg pickup details should confirm directly with the taproom, since the brewery’s offerings include rotating seasonal and one-off releases. The Railroad Avenue site is the one to choose if a meal is part of the visit, while the original taproom is the straightforward option for focusing on the beer itself. As with many small breweries, the day’s pours are best treated as current information rather than a permanent menu.
