    HooDoo Brewing Company is a dynamic craft brewery located in Fairbanks, Alaska. We are passionate about brewing exceptional beers while providing a beautiful space for our community to enjoy. We opened our doors on Halloween 2012 and produce a rotation selection of world class ales and lagers for our busy Taproom and Biergarten, while self-distributing our product throughout the state.

    The HooDoo Crew is currently seeking a motivated and positive personality to join our brewing team.
