Denali Brewpub and Denali Brewing Company are both located in the beautiful village of Talkeetna, Alaska. Nestled at the base of Denali (formerly known as Mt. McKinley), Talkeetna begins to awaken in the early Spring. The sleepy village stretches and yawns as climbers from all over the world arrive to make their attempt at summiting "The High One". Soon after, the train whistle blows, the town fully wakens and visitors descend, turning Talkeetna into a bustling center of activity! Denali Brewing is an employee-owned company and we pride ourselves on our culture of teamwork. We all share the same goal here. To serve delicious food and beverages to our customers and have a great time doing it! Here at Denali Brewpub and at our Tasting Room, we prepare food using locally grown when possible. Our season is May through September, could possibly work into year-round employment. Denali Brewpub has a very welcoming, fun, and busy environment.

At Denali Brewing Company, we work hard and play hard - and we think it's important to have fun doing both!

In addition to employee meal discounts, we offer discounted employee pricing on draft beverages, to-go beverages, cocktails, meads, ciders and generous merchandise discounts at Denali Brewpub and Denali Brewing Company Tasting Room. Most local tour and adventure companies offer significant discounts or comps to employees of Denali Brewing Company.

We do not provide employee housing, but maintain relationships with local landlords. We will provide a list of contacts to help with making housing arrangements.
Opportunities for adventure abound, with world-class outdoor activities available seven days a week. Explore the trails on foot, by bike, or on an ATV. Take in the scenic beauty on a flightseeing or jetboat tour. Zipline and rappel through the northern boreal forest, experience the glacier-fed rivers on a rafting adventure, or "mush on" with a dog sled tour. Denali State Park is only a 45 minute drive away. The hiking options are plentiful, beautiful and easily accessed. Denali Arts Council provides live music concerts in the park on Friday evenings, as well as a variety of theater performances, art shows, and other entertainment. There are a number of music festivals throughout the season and local establishments feature live music most nights of the week. We celebrate the end of each summer season with an employee bash. Throughout the season, we often have groups of employees getting together to set up outings to one of the many area lakes, camping destinations, and other outdoor activities.
Employees are provided a 60% meal discount on days they work.
There is a possibility of camper space available, depending on location needs. Other local landlords may be open to campers for the season. There are two campgrounds located in Talkeetna. There is also a downtown location with four, full hook-up spots available.
