Brewery Profile

Silver Gulch Brewing Co

About 11 miles north of Fairbanks, the Fox brewpub gives visitors a beer stop with a clear place in Interior Alaska’s small but distinctive brewing scene. Silver Gulch Brewing & Bottling Co. has been operating since 1998 and is owned by lifelong Alaskans Glenn Brady and Chilkoot Ward. Its best-known distinction is geographic: it is the northernmost brewery in the United States. A visitor walking in should expect a working brewpub rather than only a sampling counter, with Silver Gulch beers served alongside a food menu built around house-made brick oven pizzas and substantial meals. The setting connects the brewery to Fox and the Fairbanks area, rather than to a generic destination taproom.

Travelers in this part of Alaska often look for stops that reflect the region’s scale, climate, and local resources. Silver Gulch fits that pattern through its use of water sourced from Silver Gulch Spring and through beers that include names tied to northern Alaska and deep cold. The known lineup includes Coldfoot Pilsner and 40 Below Imperial Stout, which points to a range from a lighter lager style to a stronger, darker beer. For visitors driving north from Fairbanks or exploring the area around Fox, the brewery can serve as both a meal stop and a chance to try beer made close to its water source. It also offers a way to experience an Alaska brewery outside the larger urban setting.

Practical planning is straightforward but should still be checked before setting out, since current hours, seasonal schedules, and the day’s tap list can change. The Fox location is the brewpub, where visitors can confirm what is pouring and order food from the kitchen. Those passing through Anchorage may also encounter the company in a different format: Silver Gulch operates a restaurant serving Alaskan fare at Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport. That airport location is separate from the Fox brewery experience, so travelers specifically interested in the brewery itself should plan for the drive north of Fairbanks. For beer-focused visitors, the taproom is the place to confirm the day’s pours, ask what is available from the current lineup, and pair a pint with the brewpub’s pizzas or larger meals.
