Baranof Island Brewing Co. is owned, operated, sampled and sold by Sitkan beer lovers, Rick and Suzan. When they opened the brewery in 2010, enthusiastic townspeople drank up the supply so quickly, they immediately had to ramp up the capacity of their operations. Now that they can keep the thirsty locals satisfied (look for BIBCo. on tap at local restaurants), they are ready to share with you their passion for really good hand-crafted beer. Brew nerds will appreciate that every unfiltered 310-gallon batch is a combination of pure, glacier-fed Alaskan water and a blend of gourmet malts and hops, lovingly selected by our brew master. Garden variety beer fans can look forward to a cold tasty pint after a busy day exploring and young visitors can kick back with a micro root beer. Please note that the brewery is a tasting room and not a bar. In accordance with Alaska state law, we are happy to offer you up to 36 ounces of beer per person for purchase while you are at the brewery. To find us at 215 Smith Street: Ask someone to point you in the direction of Sawmill Creek Road. Keep the ocean on your right, then turn left at Smith Street (NAPA Auto Parts is on the corner). 1/4 mile (1/2km) up the road, you will find the brewery on your left! It's a 1.5 mile (2.5km) walk from the roundabout in the middle of town, and if you go to Totem Park or the Raptor Center, you're halfway there!
