Haines Brewing Co

Haines Brewing Company, Inc., established June 21, 1999

~  owned and operated by Paul Wheeler & Jeanne Kitayama  ~

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 encouragement 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 and exchanged the dairy tanks for closed fermenters. All our beers use no filtering or pasteurizing to produce one of Alaska’s finest hand-crafted beers.

Fresh seasonal and flagship brews are on tap, and during the right season we also offer vintage ales to savor in snifter glasses. Alaska brewery laws allow patrons to consume 36 oz/person/day on premise, and purchase beer to go by the liter or half gallon growler.
