Girdwood Brewery Hits License Hurdle

Girdwood Brewing Company’s new location is facing a conditional protest from the Municipality. The issue centers on its restaurant and eating place license and whether certain requirements are fully met.

A conditional protest does not mean it’s shut down. It means there are boxes that still need to be checked before everything moves forward cleanly.

For a town like Girdwood, where tourism, ski traffic, and local hangouts all mix together, a license delay matters. Especially on Alyeska Highway, right in the main flow of visitors heading to the mountain.

If the requirements get satisfied, this likely moves ahead. If not, it could slow things down during a key stretch of the season.

Girdwood always keeps it interesting.
