Silver Gulch

Brewery
Save
Silver Gulch has a claim quite unlike any other, in that it is America’s most northern brewery. And, as guests have to travel so far to get there, it even comes with its very own restaurant. The brewery creates four regular beers, all of which can be enjoyed in bottle or draught form. Of course, trying all that beer is hungry work, which is why the traditionally decorated restaurant, serves nothing but hearty Alaskan fare.
