This is the place where you buy you liquor! Since Fred Meyer does not sell individual drink, this liquor store was perfect for my boyfriend. The Brown Jug in Fairbanks was much bigger than the one in Anchorage, but it’s the same. They even sell Alaskan smoked salmon and other Alaskan products. The workers even give you recommendations and suggestions which drinks are the best to buy. It’s just like BeVmo! :D

The Granddaddy of the Brown Jugs! I’m not sure what the history behind Brown Jug is… but when I first moved to Alaska it was strongly suggested that I go there for all my frosty brew needs. I was not disappointed! The Jug consistently has some of the best prices around and seems to have different items on sale nearly every week. They also have a sort of buyer’s reward program that gives you 10% off your first purchase! This Brown Jug is huge. If they don’t have it here, they probably don’t ship it up to Alaska. They also fill growlers here! They have a ton of stuff on tap! Oh, the staff here are also very helpful and knowledgeable about their alcohol!

So this review is actually about the Brown Jug on Muldoon, at Takatnu. So my boyfriend and I went out to a restaurant to enjoy a steak dinner for my birthday. Over he dinner, he indulged in a single margarita, I refrained from drinking. After, we went shopping at target for over an hour. We planned to go grab a bottle of wine, go home, and relax to a new movie we had just picked up. Alas, when we arrive at the store, the larger, older, lady behind the counter slowly rose to help us.(slowly, as she looked like she was upset to be getting up from her sitting position) She rang us up, checked our ID’s, and then I told her it was my birthday. She suddenly glared at us, and WITHNOCONCERNFOROUREMBARRASSMENT around OTHER customers, denied the sale, loudly, and accusingly. She said we had been drinking and couldn’t sell to us. We attempted to reason with her for a second, as we were OBVIOUSLY not NEARLY close to intoxicated, but soon felt so upset over how rude she was being that we left. Normally, we would totally understand. however, we were 100% sober and it was OBVIOUS. We were annoyed, but were even MORE angry when she proceeded to call ALL the other Brown Jugs in the vicinity and tell them not to serve us. Then, the another Brown Jug didn’t even stop to evaluate us, they just conformed to her incorrect word without taking the time to even look at us, Since were SOBER, I’d like to wonder why we were discriminated against. Perhaps Brown Jug is RACIST, or perhaps their associates have a POWER issue. We have seen PLENTY of drunken people as we patronized Brown Jug. If this company decided to suddenly step up and stop that, they picked the wrong customers to discriminate against. Lastly, the competing place down the road(Fred Meyers Store), was four dollars CHEAPER. We even asked the cashier, do we look drunk to you? She LAUGHED and said not at all. So since our wine is cheaper there anyway, we will not be returning to this discriminating establishment. Sincerly, Once loyal, now ex-customers.

This Brown Jug was far bigger than most and they had a great selection of beers. The attendant at the growler station wasn’t the warmest of people but I got the help I needed. They had our beer in stock and that works for me!

I think this is my favorite Brown Jug because it has a wide variety of beers, knowledgable wine staff, plenty of wine to choose from, and an area to fill up growlers. Staff are generally quick and efficient. Parking can be a bit of a pain sometimes, but overall it’s quick in and out.

The place to get the wine you’re looking for. I imagine if they don’t have it here, it’s not in anchorage. Great central location. I was amazed how big the place was and how well it was stocked.
