Brewery Profile

Magnetic North Brewing Co

In Anchorage’s craft beer landscape, a visit to 8861 Golovin Street puts travelers at the source for beers they may also see around town. Magnetic North Brewing Co’s taproom is the direct point of contact for its core lineup and whatever is rotating at the moment, while its packaged products and draft accounts extend into local liquor stores and restaurants in Anchorage and the Mat-Su Valley. A visitor walking in should expect a brewery-centered stop rather than a fully described restaurant or entertainment venue: the main draw is checking the current pours, comparing familiar styles with more limited releases, and getting a clearer sense of what the brewery is sending out into the local market.

The beer list gives a useful cross-section for travelers who want to sample Alaska-made beer without being limited to one style. Staple offerings include Whatever Oats Your Boat, an oatmeal stout; Hazy Train, a Hazy IPA; Blue Collar, an American lager; Yard Work, a Kölsch; and Staple, an American IPA. Those cover several of the categories many visitors look for after a day in and around Anchorage: something hop-forward, something lighter, and something darker or maltier. The rotating side of the program broadens the visit further, with pastry stouts, barleywines, fruited and smoothie sours, and hard seltzers among the types the brewery has featured. That range makes the taproom a practical stop for mixed groups, especially when some people want familiar craft styles and others are looking for sweeter, stronger, or more experimental pours.

For planning, the taproom is open Thursday through Sunday, with winter hours noted by the brewery, so visitors should confirm the current schedule before making the trip. The taproom is also the place to verify the day’s draft list, since rotating releases can change and not every beer will necessarily be available at the same time. Magnetic North Brewing Co offers merchandise for purchase, and it also offers brewing classes, which may be of interest to visitors who want more than a tasting stop; availability and timing should be checked directly with the brewery. Travelers staying elsewhere in Anchorage may still encounter the beer through local liquor stores or restaurant taps, but visiting the taproom is the most direct way to see the current selection and ask what is fresh, limited, or newly released.

Magnetic North Brewing Company, based in Anchorage, Alaska, produces a range of craft beers including staple offerings like the oatmeal stout Whatever Oats Your Boat, the Hazy IPA Hazy Train, American Lager Blue Collar, Kolsch Yard Work, and American IPA Staple. Beyond flagship brews, the brewery maintains a rotating selection that features pastry stouts, barleywines, fruited and smoothie sours, as well as hard seltzers. Their products are available in their taproom, local liquor stores, and on tap at restaurants throughout Anchorage and the Mat-Su Valley. The brewery operates a taproom open Thursday through Sunday with specific winter hours. Located at 8861 Golovin Street, Magnetic North Brewing Co also offers brewing classes and merchandise for purchase.
