I stopped by this Brown Jug to pick up some refreshments on our way up to the Denali area. Their selection was better than I expected and their prices were OK. Their Makers Mark 1.75L was $54.99 a similar price to what Id pay at an ABC store in North Carolina and 1.75L Captain Morgan was around $30.99, a bit higher than what Id pay at home. Considering all meals and groceries I purchased in Alaska were much higher than I pay at home the liquor was probably a good price for the area and actually cheaper than I expected. I would shop here again.
There are plenty of liquor stores in Anchorage, but the Brown Jug Warehouse is known for having the biggest and best selection of beers, wines, and liquor. My wife and I bought all our alcohol for our wedding in one stop. The employees not only located all the varieties of wine and beer, but they also had them ready for pickup. We had a discount for buying in bulk, so that money went towards the honeymoon. If youre planning a party call ahead and youll save time and money.If this review was helpful please click the Like button.
Thanks to the young man for being such an awesome employee for Brown Jug Warehouse. Didnt catch his name, but was very helpful.
Great experience Daniel helped us find a great beer for a wedding gift and super knowledgeable and helpful!
Best liquor selection in the city. You can find many rare beers here, and a healthy assortment of just about everything else.
Just need to give a free bottle every 10 bottles that would be awesome
I understand that there will be people excited about the mask mandate being lifted today. However, I find it highly unprofessional that an employee, possibly a manager, just shouted from the cash register that there will be new signage about masks, that it will be up to the individual if they would like to, and I quote, as it fing should have been from the beginning. Again, I understand that people are excited, but the last part of his announcement off-putting, as a customer, and not what I want to hear when shopping.
Easily, the best wine selection in town. The staff is always courteous and very helpful. They have an excellent selection of beer and liquor as well as a growler bar.
Nice clean place, alot of variety to choose from
Great customer service. Clean and the best selection of beer,wine and spirits.
I love coming to this location. Excellent selection and the staff are always friendly and helpful.
The staff are knowledgeable and very helpful. They are also very friendly. Five stars!
Great store selection for spirits and wine with very friendly staff. Only issue I had was that they may not have the very specific expensive stuff like the Glenmorangie Signet I was looking for, also they do have (but rarely) inventory troubles (missing listed products) with a very few that Ive experienced. Overall its a solid place.
Brown jug has the worst uppermanagment!!! Im going to leave it at that..
I had never been inside and wow this place is huge. Couldnt find what I wanted but the staff was great and helped me, they took me to the product I was looking for instead of just telling me.
Quite simply, the best selection of any type of drink youre looking for in the Anchorage area. La Bodega might have some more obscure beers, but the Brown Jug Warehouse Store has the absolute best selection of whiskies (scotch and otherwise) in the city.
I would have liked more local craft brews.
Very helpful staff when looking for unique wines and spirits. Amazing inventory!
Everything and more. Excellent
This place is huge and has excellent service!
Helpful and knowiedgeful staff, i love shopping for high end whiskey and exotics. Today moscow mules, 40 year old highland whiskey.
Lots of alcohol, good for bulk shopping or just a can
Best selection in town! Good prices and have to occasional clearance deals.
Great place to find great beverages
Was refused service because the cashier asked me who I wanted to win the super bowl. I wonder how much money the business is losing out on because of the guy on the liquor store side’s personal decisions. This must be addressed.
Employees are professional, courteous and very helpful... theres always good sales and closeout deals too!
Great prices but they reduced inventory. They do offer a Clearance rack with an assortment if reduced price spirits. I like to try possibly a different brand of liquor I enjoy. Or a party situation. Nice. Helpful staff usually more than one checkout stand. They didnt have exactly what I wanted but there was alternate voices or it would of been a 5 star.
Well stocked store.
Fair prizes good selection go buy your beer
Prices are decent. Was extremely busy for 430 pm on a Friday.
Great selection, friendly peeps ! 😁
Love the variety!
Didnt have the tequila i was looking for
Love going to this Brown Jug the staff is very helpful and friendly they have staff for each department wether its fine, beer, liquor etc... They always know what your looking for even if you just describe what the packaging or color is if you didnt know the name.Katrina the general manager is awesome she helps out with literally everything she helps customers find items from each department never redirects a person to one of her other employees, if theres a big line forming she help on the cash registers. Always keeps a positive and friendly attitude when I see her. She is extremely professional and very personable. Being a store manager can be tough considering the size of the store dealing with large amounts of inventory and staff from top to bottom she exhausts all areas of being a face of a store with that amount of responsibility with outstanding control and ability not to crack under pressure. She is all around solid.Great work Brown Jug thanks for the help. 👍
Good store with a fab inventory.
Used to be a great place, now its just depressing. The staff all look grumpy and sad working there. Overall appearance looks worse too. Dirty.
Decent selection and prices. Clean store. Attentive staff.
Please enforce your mask policies on EVERYONE WHO COMES IN. several people in there without, And to the older lady who works there with the clear mask that looks like a horse trough, THOSE DONT WORK and I SAW you wipe your nose with your hand and KEEP ON GOING. No sanitizer, no hand washing. Is this business really doing everything it can to protect our community??? Nope. Lost our buisness permanently.
Pretty much anything you need in the alcohol world
Big, open store, easy to find categories. Clean.
Has it all. Their wine group has some treasures in the basement 😉 only place in ANC I found Chilean Pisco
Very helpful staff.
Decent prices and good selection.
Easy to find what you need
This place does bush orders
Ecellant for all liquor and wines chamoaign
Only complaint (and its a small one) is they never stock the limited editions of Guniess.Other than that this place is amazing.Its clean, the staff is knowledgeable and they always apply a veterans discount just by checking my ID.Plus they beat any of the other prices around town.
This Brown Jug is by far my favourite one in Anchorage. They have a wonderful selection of spirits, wines and beers. They also have a great selection of craft beers from around the state of Alaska. I love their import selection as well, as they carry one of my favourite German beers. Their prices are competitive and fair. I tend to find their staff friendly and kind.
Wow what a great beer store super nice employs specially at the growler section guys stayed late for me even though they were closing down already to fill a growler love the customer service love the prices
Best selection that I can find in town but I think that the employees should be more focused on customer service (as someone who worked retail for years). I often have a tough time finding help and am sometimes too shy to ask.The cashiers do well, in my opinion, though. I love how chatty they are. I think it makes us, as customers, feel good when they make comments on our selections. Even if they say theyre not a fan, I like hearing their opinions.
Best place to go for the hard to find brews, wines, and spirits. If you cant find it here, it will be hard to find anywhere else except maybe the brewery itself. Amazing growler bar with a rotating list of options. If you like to try new drinks, youll love this stop just fire the sheer size. I should also note that the guys who run the growler bar usually know beer really, really well.
These were some of the friendliest sales associates Ive met. 4 or 5 different employees offered to help me, made gift suggestions, and went to find stuff for me. Not at all the typical liquor store experience. I very seldom give 5star reviews. I feel you have to really go and above average, to warrant 5stars. These employees were definitely 5+!
Great selection, prices, and the staff is always helpful and friendly.
Heres where to buy your liquor in AK
Great selection.
Greeted & offered assistance by two wonderful ladies! Good prices! They know how to please Alaskans!
This place have no respect for their customers! They talk down on you, and treat you with disrespect! It was my first time going there, being that Im new to Anchorage Alaska. They ID EVERYONE yep even me and Im 61? Then if you are with someone, and they are next in line, and you are waiting for them. They will tell you, like you are a child, wait outside for your friend? The most hurtful things is seeing how they treat the Native people, I swear that I have step back in time, shameful!
Always in stock and workers will help bring your stuff to car if you bulk purchase.
Staff was friendly and helpful to get me the tobacco tubes I needed!
One of the bigger brown jugs in Anchorage. Pretty sure my husband got lost in there today 🤣
I was seeking answers to my Rum questions and the were very helpfulness, though some are much more knowledgeable than others. All were very helpful. They have a HUGE selection of wines and liquor.... Im sure the largest in the state. Its worth the extra miles and time to go there and get ALL you spirits needs met.... Cheers
Huge selection reasonably prices. Found exactly what I desired for after work fun. Would recommend
Nice place. Everything i wanted and more. Crown royal was doing a promo to embroider crown bags with purchase.. Very cool. Ill go here if looking for a special bottle.
This Brown Jug is a great place to stock up an all your alcohol needs. Wide selection with helpful staff on hand to get you in and out.
Awesome team!I went in last week and was not only greeted enthusiastically by two employees, they both then went out of their way to help!Shoutout to Sherman at the growler station for friendly conversation and knowledgeable beer recommendations, and one of the cashiers who ran from the register to the literally back of the store to grab something I was unable to find myself.I’ve had a couple small hiccups here and there at a couple of the other BJ locations, but you guys have repeatedly been awesome— and it’s hard to beat your huge selection! 😃
Great selection, reasonable prices.
Great growler bar (not quite as many as the one at 9200 Old Seward and sometimes this location is more expensive). All in all great location and convenient. They did start asking for my ID in the back of the store too; kind of annoying as you have to show it to check out (wee bit of overkill i think)
Never been to one of these before. I was thoroughly impressed. Huge selection of just about anything you can think of or just go explore. The staff (especially Tony) was super friendly and very willing to ask any questions you might have. Will stop by again on my way through Anchorage.
Very helpful and knowledgeable staff
So many varieties of things. I even had to buy limited edition holiday Smirnoff as gifts.
Always helpful finding what I need.
The employees here are wonderful and a pleasure to do business with!
An overwhelming amount of booze. Good prices, great variety and selection. All the flavors of White Claw. Aint no laws, baby.
Great selection of craft brews. As well there is a large selection of well priced beers available on tap so long as you have a growler (you can buy one there). Is one of the best places in town if you are looking for some variety.
Great selection of beer wine and booze! I always end up getting more than I went in for cause there a just so many fun things!
This place always has friendly staff and an extensive selection. Usually very clean and open late. They price match if you bring in an ad or receipt from the last couple weeks.
Great selection and good prices
The associate was very friendly.
The usual
Great service! Even with three Thanksgiving chaos, Elisha gave fast & freindly service & the staff was knowledgeable.
Helpful staff.
Good selection of spirits, liquors and beers. On tap selection for growlers was only of local brews, the selectopn of cigars was vary limited and definitely over priced. Staff pretty much chose to ignore me, as I stood by tap selection to ask questions.... those were only down side of this store.
Loved the growler station with 16 different beers on tap. The wine section is large and complete with gifts and decor. The staff is knowledgeable, helpful, and fun.
Fast, fun and friendly staff.
The staff is so nice and i always have an easy time getting help if i need it.
Great selection of spirits. Excellent access and pricing.
The big store has almost anything you want.. But I asked the one employee if they has sambuca he said yes and took me to the wines lol no its not a wine.. They have cools beer and gift sets too.. Its a fun store to look around
If heaven were on earth, this store would reside on one of the main avenues. The folks that work here are just amazing and supremely helpful.
All you need in one place.
Great selection of craft beer, liquor, and wine. Growler bar and knowledgeable staff. They frequently have special events, discounts, and sales.
Nice selection, great location, friendly and knowledgeable staff, always clean and neat.
Well organized, friendly and helpful staff.
Great place to get you liquid refreshments
