Odd Man Rush Brewing Co

Wow Eagle River has a great new spot! Love the beer and the root beer! The place is great amazing staff and fun environment. Love the tape wall. Also an amazing geocache is hidden out back *approved by the owners. Great place worth the drive!

Great brewery. A large selection of beers. And a great décor. But I’m pro hockey biased. iPas. We’re on point and the stout was tasty. We will be back. :)

Great to finally have a Brewery in Eagle River and it’s good. Good place to go to get a quick glower fill up or have a few beers. I have been about 6 times and they normally have a new brew to try. You should be able to find a beer in your style. Will continue to go back.

I’ve been here a few times, and each time is more disappointing than the one before. First time I came, 5 stars! I love the atmosphere and the way it’s decorated, but it was crowded as heck. Beers were good, I got my growler and went on my way. The next time I came they didn’t have caps for my growler, so I had to leave beerless and sad. Today I returned with caps for my growler, ready to let OMR redeem itself because the beer is worth it. Turns out they don’t open till 1pm on Sunday, when their Unilocal and Google said noon. I couldn’t wait around for an hour, so once again I left beerless and disappointed. I’m taking away a star for each time I had to leave without their tasty beer, and with a heart full of bummed. 3 stars.

Like most breweries in Alaska that I’ve come to notice, is that they’re usually hidden in places you wouldn’t expect a brewery to be. Odd Man Rush doesn’t stand out but once you go inside it begins to show why it’s unique.
You walk in the door and right in front of you is a set of stairs to go upstairs and sit at tables looking over the main lobby. To the left as you walk in is a wall of cassette tapes! Flashback to the 80’s and 90’s! There’s also a lot of hockey décor as the theme seems to be hockey. The brew names all have to do with the sport and some areas on the walls have hockey sticks and hockey jerseys. However it’s not overwhelmingly HOCKEY, which is makes it welcoming for all. The brews themselves were good, my favorite being the Hefeweizen (wherever I go) and the IPA, and the pumkin ale being pretty good. I ordered the flight and my buddies drank the dark beers while I drank the light beers.
It wasn’t a incredibly special place to be but it was clean and organized and the staff was friendly. I will definitely be back!

Excellent brewery. Great selection of beers. Cool atmosphere. I had the black IPA which was top notch and my wife enjoyed the pumpkin ale and she liked it very much.

A nice addition to Eagle River — and perhaps the answer to the question, «Should we go to Eagle River»? We tried the Vanilla Porter, Pumpkin ale and IPA while there. Porter was a bit too strong on vanilla, IPA was nicely hopped but not overly so, and the pumpkin ale was… neither here nor there.
The good: these guys are going their own road — not following the big hops /​belgian bent of a number of other breweries of late. Location is decked out nicely. The hops lights are a nice touch. Hockey theme is great — maybe someone can hack an arduino or rPi to have the scoreboard function and show the score of games in progress.
The less good: Prices are a bit high for both pours and growlers.
Looking forward to visiting again as the operation grows. I expect it to be a nice cycling destination come sunnier weather.

At long last, Eagle River has its very own brewery!
And I’m happy to report that it’s a great one!
This brewery has a hockey-​theme, but even if you know nothing about hockey (like me), you’ll dig the look of this place.
Things I like:
— classy and cool interior design, including: cassette tape wallpaper, horse-​chewn wood, and stainless steel.
— friendly and helpful staff
Things I’m not a fan of:
— closes at 5pm on Sundays: it took me forever to come here for this very reason!
Maybe it’s just me, but the beer seems to have a more English-​style focus. This means less big, citrusy, grapefruity hops and more mild and earthy hops. Beer is $ 5 for a 12oz poor and you have to buy them one beer at a time.
In «true brewery» fashion, this place does not serve food. Feed yourself somewhere else first.
Definitely worth a stop if you’re in Eagle River or if you’re a brewery aficionado!
If it was in Anchorage, I’d probably be a regular.

I absolutely LOVE this place. Probably because the dudes are living my dream of being a home brewer turned master craft brewing business owner. Oh well, some day…
I love the IPA and I love the options to sample a few beers off nitro. Last time we were there the porter and pumpkin brews were on nitro and both were great.
Seating is limited and there was no food but we saw people having food delivered. I wasn’t expecting there to be food so this wasn’t a big deal to me.
The décor is totally awesome. The hockey sticks, zamboni front end, score board and old cassette tapes so artfully distributed throughout the place were totally awesome.
So why not five stars? Well mainly because I can’t give it 4.5 stars. As much as I want to give this place five stars I simply cannot due to what I feel is a slightly high price point they’re asking for the growlers. At $ 14 for a large growler this will end up being nothing more than a novelty for me, just like Resolution Brewing, Midnight Sun and King Street in Anchorage. I may stop in once in a while when I’m flush with extra cash but I just can’t justify paying that much for a growler when I can get Denali Twister Creek or Broken Tooth Fair Weather at Brown Jug for $ 9 for the same size growler.

Good beers, fair prices, no food or snacks though.
Has a hockey theme, could use a few more tables and chairs on the ground floor.

Awesome beginning to what I’m sure is going to be an epic brewery! Love the flavors that are on tap and there are more to come! Very sports like and unique décor and super chill environment. These guys are going to do good for sure! It is a must stop for your local brew:) Cannot wait to see what is to come from these guys will definitely be returning!
