Event details

In Haines, late May feels like a postcard: snow still clings to the peaks above the Chilkat Inlet while daylight stretches long enough for a proper brewers’ dinner and a full afternoon tasting session. Come for the pours, stay for the place—this is an easy base for coastal walks, glacier viewpoints, and small-town Alaska at its friendliest.
