Forbidden Peak Brewery

(Auke Bay, Juneau, AK)

Scooter’s 1648th bar, first visited in 2023.

Forbidden Peak Brewery, Juneau

This was the brewery closest to our vacation rental house, and I stopped in here just after opening on a Friday.

This has an expansive seating area both inside and out, with a great view overlooking the bay from both locations. Indoors has a large fireplace for the colder months, a well stocked gift shop, and a separate window in the back for ordering food. In accordance with Alaska’s still-looney brewery laws (even after a 2022 attempt at reform), there is no seating permitted at the bar.

I had the Golden North (pale lager), Statter Oatmeal Stout, Nitro 7 Black (oatmeal stout nitro), Barrel Aged Imperial Brown W/ Cacao Nibs, AukNess (black lager), and Red Spruce (amber ale with locally-picked spruce tips).

Handy tip: Park in the lot on the west side of the building to avoid a lengthy walk of shame around to the correct entrance.
