This is their seasonal Belgian Wit, it's one of my favorites. |
Owner "Jerry!" |
I found myself talking with a guy who's the biggest Kodiak fan ever, who comes up once a year or so for work. His name was Mike and he works on tugboats. So naturally, he was deemed Tugboat Mike. Not to his face, of course.

Film crew and hippie Feeding Alaska pilot guy |
I guess this was a little in town departure for them. Not much hunting and foraging to do at the old brewery. Foraging for beer? Ha. Again, hippie-tastic. This guy in the blue hat with the crazy beard was the main guy from the pilot. I'll have to check out the first episode because I was totally in the background shot for about 10 minutes. Kind of funny that I might get some screen time. You'd think if anyone would be on a reality show, it would be the hubby on Coast Guard Alaska!
Another cool thing about the atmosphere is that they have rotating local artist displays, and the space is filled with vintage fishing gear and Kodiak-related historical pieces. So it's a brewery, but has all kinds of neat fishing and Kodiak-centric things to check out while you're there.
This Christmas, the hubby surprised me with a beautiful photo print by a local artist of one of the first canneries on Kodiak in Moser Bay. I love the print, the colors are fantastic. The reason why I'm bringing it up is because the exact same print is a full sized mural on one of the walls in the brewery. Another reason I love this place! This is it:
I just LOVE the colors |
These are some of the permanent art and rotating exhibits displayed throughout the brewery:
For those adventurous folks that come up to pay us a visit while we're here, you can count on a visit or two to the Kodiak Island Brewing Company. (I'm talking to you, Christine and Mick!) It's another Kodiak favorite of mine that will have to be shared with anyone who braves the looong and expensive flights to get here. Oh, and here's another reason to love the brewery. - It's dog friendly. So if we feel like it, Pugbulls can come along. These two wudgers were patiently waiting for their person when we were heading out:
I guess I should make it a goal to taste all the beers they have to offer. I've made my way through trying at least 4 or 5 of them so far. New challenge!
Ta-ta for now.
Love the combo of corrugated aluminum walls, growlers & wooden kegs |
