AK Beer Week, Jan 12 – 21, 2018
This is an exciting time of year that not only brings out year-round support from local beer aficionados, but beer-seeking geeks from the Outside as well.
AK Beer Week boosts our winter economy with travel and hospitality dollars, but it also promotes this great state as a destination for craft beer, and all the other local things involved in the enjoyment of craft beer: food, service, lodging, and activities.
AK Beer Week is anchored by the Great Alaska Beer and Barley Wine Festival that takes place this year on Jan 19 and 20 at the Egan Center in Anchorage.
This year’s AK Beer Week runs Fri Jan 12 through Sun Jan 21 with craft beer-centric events throughout the entire state. That’s TEN DAYS of CRAFT BEER.
