Valdez Brewing

The feel

Valdez Brewing is a craft brewery and taproom at 141 Galena Drive, near the small boat harbor. Everything is brewed on site on a 7-barrel system: generally 9 beers on tap, all made in Valdez, plus 2 homemade sodas for anyone not drinking alcohol.

The taproom has a spacious patio, and both are dog friendly. A food truck, Poor Betty's, is on site, and you can carry the food inside.

Come on a cruise ship day if you want an early pint, since the taproom opens at 10am. The patio is the pick in warmer months.
