Delicious pacific rim offerings. We had: spring rolls, Nashville hot cauliflower, 3 meat (like happy family) with vermicelli noodles, and ribs and finished with banana foster spring rolls. One of our folks had many allergies, which were accommodated. Our server Kerry was fantastic!!

Stayed in the resort to go fishing. So after a day on the water going to Timbers was a great way to relax with great selection of beers on tap and some good wines. The dinners we enjoyed were wonderfully prepared and delicious. The chili Salmon, the halibut, and their steaks were all done to perfection. I can't forget the local oysters were incredibly good. The staff were all friendly and professional and made the meals that much more enjoyable.

About the restaurant
You will know the moment you walk in that this is not your typical brew pub. The scent of the alder wood grill and wood fired oven, the energy of the sparking exhibition cooking line and the glow of the brewery delight your senses. The BrewHouse features rotisserie grilled meats, the freshest Alaskan seafood, brick oven pizza and award winning hand crafted ales. The BrewHouse is Anchorage’s downtown landmark restaurant-“Where Alaskans meet Alaskans”.

Food (seafood pasta, Alaskan fish & chips and calamari appetizer) was fairly good except for the coconut shrimp appetizer and the seafood risotto. Batter on the shrimp was over thick and burnt. Seafood risotto was thick and pasty. Service could have been a little better on the drinks. One person was omitted when our server asked only the gentleman next to her if he wanted another beer. We had to ask for refills on water.
