La Bodega (formerly Yukon Spirits)

This place has now changed names....it is the Bodega Liquor store (I guess the name change was 3 months ago). Larger selection of Belgian beers than the Brown Jugs in town, and you can buy singles of local and PNW brews. That are two positives. But the selection is rather ecclectic, and the staff is just OK.

When I walked in, I was surprised. From all the recommendations I’d gotten from others, I was expecting a rather large store, but this place is tiny. The small size doesn’t seem to matter though as beer takes up 3/4 of the space and wines only get half a wall down the length of the store and liquor only gets a small shelving area near the cash register. Good selection and this place lets you break up six packs to make your own making it a lot easier do a sampling of local breweries.

Great selection for a small city. Many of the best of the West coast’s breweries are represented here - Deschutes, Full Sail, Alaskan, Pike, Bridgeport, Fish, Stone to name a few. Have a good selection of Belgians as well - I was able to pick up a Rochefort 8, believe they had the 6 and 10 as well. All are sold as singles and the prices are clearly marked so there is no confusion at the cash register and the prices are reasonable - some were as low as $1.35 per bottle. Owner was very friendly and familiar with Ratebeer.com. A must stop if in the Anchorage area.

Small place, but it has a really nice selection of micros (those from Alaska and the PNW, as well as breweries such as Stone, Avery, etc.) and imports, with a strong Belgian slant. The owners / employees are really cool, too. After talking to them, it sounds like they have some new stuff coming in (more Belgians and maybe even some New Belgium brews). The place is kind of hard to find, tucked away in a corner of a strip mall (with an inside area). It’s really close to Moose’s Tooth. Overall, it was a pretty good stop, and I doubt you’d find a better selection in Anchorage.
