Spirit of Alaska Event

Author: Alaska First Media April 21, 2026 Duration: 3:37

Spirits of Alaska is the cocktail edition of Capital Brewfest—shaken, stirred, and served with a view. Each spring, the Juneau Chamber kicks off visitor season by bringing together Alaska’s craft distilleries for an evening of flavor, fun, and fantastic company at the top of the Tram.

Sip your way through unique spirits, enjoy delicious food, and soak in sweeping views of downtown Juneau as the community gears up for the busy season. With live music, great networking, and a lively crowd, it’s equal parts celebration and connection.

And because we like to keep things interesting—don’t miss the bucket raffle and silent auction, all in support of the Chamber’s work in our community.


Come for the cocktails. Stay for the view. Leave with a new favorite spirit.
