Haines Brewing Company
For years friends trekked across tide flats and through coastal forests to our home, for the taste of Paul’s fine brews. Then with the encouragment of local folks, and growing from those homebrew recipes, we took the leap to open the brewery. Starting off with dairy tanks from the midwest for fermenters, we scrubbed off the old butter and Paul started brewing. We grew quickly, exchanged the dairy tanks for closed fermenters, and now regional demand is more than Paul can supply. All our beers start with organic base malts, and use no filtering or pasteurizing, to produce one of Alaska’s finest hand-crafted beers.
Currently, in our location in Dalton City at the Southeast Alaska State Fairgrounds in Haines Alaska, we have several beers available on tap. Beer can be purchased by the sample glass or pint to consume on premise, or by the liter or half gallon to go.
