Join us for a fine dining and wine pairing experience at 49th State Brewing on Tuesday, December 3, 2024, from 6:00 to 9:00 PM. Delight your senses with an exquisite multi-course menu crafted by the chef at 49th State Brewing, each dish paired with thoughtfully selected beverages, and enjoy the stunning ambiance of one of Alaska’s premier venues.

Featured Chef:

Hailing from Chicago, Illinois, Chef Todd Podborny brings his diverse culinary background and passion for sustainable cuisine to his role as Commissary Chef at 49th State Brewing’s Downtown Anchorage Brewpub. A graduate of Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts in Scottsdale, Arizona, Chef Podborny has crafted his skills in kitchens from the San Juan Islands to the Grand Canyon and Florida. His journey northward in 2010 led him to open 49th State Brewing’s Denali Park Brewpub as its first chef, a role that cemented his dedication to the brand and Alaska’s unique culinary scene.

Chef Podborny continues to champion 49th State’s commitment to sustainable, Alaska-grown ingredients. A lifelong sportsman with a passion for hunting and fishing, he takes pride in preparing wild game, bringing his love for Alaska’s outdoors to the dishes he creates. Chef Podborny remains the 49th State’s longest-tenured employee, embodying the spirit of adventure and local connection that defines Alaska’s hospitality industry.

This special evening promises exceptional cuisine and vibrant company and supports a powerful cause. Proceeds from this event benefit the Alaska Hospitality Advocacy Fund — dedicated to protecting and advancing the interests of Alaska’s bars, hotels, restaurants, and retailers. This event plays a crucial role in ensuring sustained advocacy that is essential to Alaska’s hospitality industry, and supporting our efforts to oppose devastating ballot initiatives.
