Awesome Day! We had a wonderful day with Bryan and Big Swig Tours. He was informative and knowledgeable about the area as we started our drive from Seward. We lunched at Alyeska and had wonderful views from the tram and even got to see a wedding up top! Then we moved on to Girdwood Brewing Company where Bryan provided all of the info and descriptions for the beer tasting. He shared his knowledge of the brewery while we tasted the good beer. He even knew about the wood Timbers used in the building. The brewer sat with us and talked for quite a while. We moved on to the Anchorage Distillery where we had a great behind the scenes tour followed by an awesome Maple Old Fashioned. We spent time with the team there and shared cocktail recipes and stories. What a great group….they never rushed us or got impatient with our questions. We had a wonderful, fun time. Then we moved on to the Double Shovel Cider Company. It was only the second time we had tasted cider and it was lovely!! We tasted 5 selections and I can honestly say we finished every one of them. We will definitely visit all of these places on future trips to Alaska and we are ordering some small batch whiskey from the distillery! Bryan was a great host all day and we thoroughly enjoyed spending time with him at each of these places.

This was such an amazing way to get from Seward to Anchorage. Bryan was personal, friendly and so informative along the way. At each place we stopped, it felt like we were hanging out with friends. Absolutely could not recommend this experience more- we loved it! Thank you Bryan for an amazing day!

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Brian. We were picked up promptly at the port of Seward in a very comfortable van with plenty of room for luggage. The accommodations were very comfortable. He provided great info about the terrain and communities we passed on the way. We stopped at the Aleyska resort and had a wonderful lunch at the top of the team. We also went to the Girdwood Brewing Company and enjoyed learning about their beers - all delicious. We loved Anchorage Distilling and their flavored vodkas. We finished at Double Shovel Cider which was great too. Brian made excellent dining recommendations and we had a great tour. 10/10 recommend!
