Since 1936, Alaska's State Fair is traditionally the last blast of summer, with concerts, record-setting giant vegetables, beautiful flower gardens, vendors, food, carnival, exhibits, animals and contests.

Palmer is Alaska at its Best; Arkose is Beer at its Best

First Craft Beer Brewery, Taproom & Bottle Shop in Palmer

Since our humble beginnings in 2011, several other breweries have opened after us making Palmer a true beer destination. After enjoying all that the beautiful outdoors has to offer, stop by and try the beers that are all brewed right here and are available to enjoy in the Art-inspired taproom with the best Beertenders around.

For to-go, we offer bottles, growler fills and kegs to enjoy at home or give as gifts.

If you don’t find Arkose on tap at restaurants and bars in Alaska, demand it! You are our best influencer!

We brew for you and want you to have it wherever you are in this Great State of Alaska.

The Independence Mines, now Independence Mine State Historic Park, is the site of a former gold mining operation in the Talkeetna Mountains, across Hatcher Pass from Palmer, Alaska.

The area's mining history dates to at least 1897, when active claims were reported in the vicinity of Fishook Creek.
