I will have Beckoa grill some Bourbon basted Salmon & Tri-tip along with a garden salad. Bring some other side and whatever you want to drink. I have lots of wine & and assortment of sodas but very little beer.
Post what you are bringing & others can fill in even more.
Beck usually brings some tasty stuff from Costco.

Make it local beer. Heck, if you are around Saturday afternoon, The Midnight Sun Brewing Company is less than a mile from my house with several to choose from. Definitely worth a visit.

Great Alaska Brewing Company? I had no idea and will have to go next time I'm there. Or are you thinking of Midnight Sun? (They have good food, too.)

If I'm coming from downtown on foot, where would you recommend for to-go beer/wine and a gourmet side or dessert?

You could take PeopleMover bus routes 1 or 2 down Lake Otis to 80th, but with bus service at best every hour and taking almost an hour to do what would be a 15-20-minute drive, that's not a terribly useful method of traveling around ANC.

The People Mover bus system can get you around fairly well and there is a stop at Lake Otis & 80th, a half mile from my house. Both Carr's Quality Centers & Fred Meyer are less than a mile from here and the busses go by both, but I don't know their schedule.

And if you're looking at cabbing it, it's probably $25 each way to and from downtown and/or the airport. If you're already going to be downtown, I can get $41 for a compact car from an off-airport location for the day of 6/8), and if you want to rent at the airport, it's a little over $50--both competitive with the cost of cabs.
