Overview

The Homer Brewing Company is a craft brewery based in Homer, Alaska, near the southern end of the Kenai Peninsula. Founded on September 21, 1996, it specializes in unfiltered, unpasteurized, cask-conditioned beers. Its products are sold in 64 US fluid ounce growlers, 20 US fluid ounce bottles, and on tap at many local establishments. The brewery operates in a small community that had a 2010 population of 5,003 and shares the local alcoholic-beverage scene with a winery and Grace Ridge Brewing Co. As a small independent producer, Homer Brewing represents the regional craft-beer movement in Alaska, emphasizing traditional cask-conditioning and minimal processing rather than mass-market distribution.
