Denali Brewing

The feel

Denali Brewing is an employee-owned brewery at the base of North America's highest mountain, and the Main Street brewpub in Talkeetna is the place to sit down. The food is farm-to-table from a full kitchen, and there is a big sunny deck and a wooden patio with a shade sail. Leashed dogs are welcome on the patio, and the pub works well for families.

The flagship beers are Mother Ale, Twister Creek IPA, Chuli Stout and Single Engine Red, and the seasonal pours change with the year: Denali Lager in summer, Uncle Dunkel in fall and Tree Run Winter Ale in winter.
