Bleeding Heart Brewery - Palmer, Alaska

Fun, creative decor with a funky vibe. Eclectic style that made you feel right at home. I had the Sasquatch beer and prosciutto mac & cheese. Both were delicious. They even had some unusual beers like the beet beer. It was actually really good, and I don’t like beets.

Support your local Brewers!
We had the Valley Trash: Dirty Blonde (unfiltered blond with Kolsch yeast) on the left and Mommy Juice (Imperial hard seltzer aged in a Cognac barrel) on the right. What an amazing place! We have driven past many times but our timing was always off. GREAT place to relax and tell lies about your adventures on the many beautiful trails in the area. Big enough for weddings, events and end of year parties. Many stained glass and rustic furniture art works on display for purchase. Support Local Artists too. The menu(see pictures for beer, cider and food menus as of 04May25, May the Fourth be with you)
So glad we finally made it in here, Looking forward to many more visits. The outdoor seating and bike friendly parking is particularly appealing to outdoor adventure. I can see planning a gran fondo around stopping here on the way out and back. The open layout is conducive to many small groups of 10 to eight sharing the space without gettting loud. The laid back folksie music sets the vibe while the Knick-nacks and signage from bygone days in the Mat-Su valley take you back to times when the pace of life was a little slower. A quick head count showed about 50 people, at 150 it would still not seem crowded. Happy to add another Alaskan Local Brewery to the list. So many breweries, so little time. 😀 I don’t know if I will be able to visit, enjoy and document all of our Alaskan micro-brews, but damn it, I’m gonna give it one hellava try.

BHB, thanks for all you do, we shall return.

This is our favorite brewery in Alaska. The staff is amazing and the atmosphere is fun with a Palmer vibe. They have a wonderful variety of always rotating taps and it never feels like their menu is stuck in one beer genre or another like some breweries. The food here is also excellent. My family likes to come on sundays for their brunch menu it has something for each of us to love.

Just a quick 12-minute detour from the AK-1/AK-3 split, Bleeding Heart Brewery is a small but mighty stop worth making on your way toward Talkeetna. Billing itself as one of Alaska’s smallest breweries, this place more than makes up for its size with creativity, passion, and heart—qualities they feel many beers lack, but you won’t find missing here.

Their standout brew, "Grounds for Divorce Coffee Porter", is a full-bodied coffee powerhouse with a cheeky name. Rich and smooth, this porter delivers a bold coffee flavor that’s worth any trouble it might stir up. It’s the perfect pint for sipping in their spacious interior or out in their large beer garden.

Bleeding Heart also offers a rotating lunch menu, with highlights like their soup of the week and the Bibimbrat—a Korean-inspired bratwurst that adds a unique twist to the brewery’s offerings. The food pairs beautifully with their imaginative beer lineup, creating an experience that’s anything but ordinary.

Whether you’re a local or just passing through, Bleeding Heart Brewery is the perfect spot to grab a beer and some lunch while soaking in the Alaskan spirit. It’s a place with heart, and it shows in every pint.

If you’re thinking of getting the prosciutto mac and cheese just do it, probably one of the best bites in The Valley, maybe all of Alaska, truly delicious. The beer is great but the selection is just too limited and obscure for my taste - so maybe I suck for that. Just hard to give a 5 star when there is no Pilsner, lager, or IPA (there was an imperial available at time of me writing this) available. I just drank the Valley Trash (an unfiltered kolsch I think?) all night and felt great about it. Been a bunch and will of course be back.

Glass on left Valley Trash beer. Glass on right Mommy Juice a hard seltzer aged in a cognac barrel. Both very tasty!
Sunday brunch of corned beef hash.

Thank you for having vegan options; it's greatly appreciated! The "Grain Train" was delicious.

Love this place. They took what looks like it could have been an old repair shop and filled it with thrift store furniture and eclectic signs making it instantly inviting. Pods are set up through out. For example, in one corner there's three old couches and a coffee table transporting you back to your 1970s living room. There's old kitchen tables, movie theater seats, school desks, a church pew and my favorite: a 1970s chair covered in plastic like my grandma had. Lots of unique beers and food. Thumbs up for the prosciutto Mac-n-cheese.
