49th State Brewing Company

Top choice in Denali National Park & Preserve


You can have the best evening out in Denali at this multifarious place which is 1) a brewpub brewing its own fine ales; 2) a wonderful flame-grilled restaurant; 3) a live-music venue; and 4) a dedicated purveyor of dozens of whiskeys. A celebratory atmosphere is generated at the communal tables both inside and out, where fun games shorten the wait for your food.

Also out front is the famous Magic Bus from the Sean Penn film Into the Wild. The actual bus used by Chris McCandless is 28 miles along the nearby Stampede Trail. Brewery tours with free tastings take place on Fridays at 4pm.
