Cooper Landing Brewing Company - Cooper Landing, Alaska

beerventurers

Named after the town, Cooper Landing Brewing Company offers a low-key, fishing themed, brewery experience. Just a 15-minute detour off the Seward Highway if you're headed to Seward, or conveniently along the route if you're headed to Homer.

Our top beer pick here is Ma's Rhubarb Crunch, a fruited pastry sour with rhubarb, lactose, and strawberry, aged on Madagascar vanilla and cinnamon. This beer delivers a delightful blend of tartness and sweetness, reminiscent of a homemade dessert. Even a couple of weeks later, the rhubarb flavor is still palpable when thinking about it.

On the brewery grounds, they have a weird and quirky piece of infrastructure. That weird spaceship looking thing is an emergency capsule, probably from some boat or a drilling operation. And yes, you can sit in it! The rest of the brewery exudes a fishing cabin vibe. The large outdoor space includes a small music stage for live bands, however we were not fortunate enough to visit during a show. We also enjoyed their logo, which humorously depicts a salmon drinking a beer.

Love stopping at this brewery everytime I’m in town. Great bear (just wish they’d have their dark beer option more often…), great atmosphere and seating, several fire pits outside, and the food that is served there is good too. Make sure you check out the schedule of events that happen there too with live music.

Great beers and awesome atmosphere. Love the patio. They have something for all.

Wish I coulda tried the food but we came in kinda late on a Monday night. They have great beer - tried the seltzer (super good) and the sour. Yum!

Great little stop after fishing.

Excellent beer selections and the food is good.

Friendly atmosphere, all around a great end to a beautiful day, down at the Russian River.

Thanks

Great atmosphere and outdoor seating. We enjoyed the beer options as well. We had a burger and pretzels. The pretzels were great. The burger was okay.

Family owned and argued over microbrewery located in the Kenai Peninsula. They have awesome beers and seltzer on draft. The Rally burger offered by the Blue Yeti Cafe located in house is phenomenal! You have to stop by for a cold bevy and some food if you’re headed through the Peninsula. The brewery offers Alaskana fishing vibes. There is outdoor and indoor seating. They started doing events this summer; offering a concert once a month. Highly recommend that you make this a destination to add to your Alaska journeys. I was absolutely just amazed how wonderful the staff are; friendly, efficient, and hard workers. The beers on draft are excellent and there is something dir everyone. It is family friendly; allowing kids and dogs.

Please. Do yourself a favor and make
This the perfect lunch or dinner stop when driving from Anchorage to Seward or Anchorage to Soldotna and beyond. You won’t regret it.

Cozy feel, good food, and good homemade beer/seltzer! This place feels and looks fairly new. Their drinks are homemade and they’re only allowed to serve you 36 ounces per Alaska state law. The food menu is light, but it’s quality food! My favorite is their rally burger. During peak times the wait for food can be pretty long as they make everything fresh. My family and I stop here every-time we head down to the Kenai. Time we’ll spent for a great little meal!
