About
Alaska has a rich history of brewing. From the explorers of the 1700s through the Gold Rush, many a thirsty Alaskan has been able to enjoy locally made beers.
In 1986, 28-year-olds Marcy and Geoff Larson reignited that tradition when they opened the Alaskan Brewing Company, the 67th independent brewery in the country and the first brewery in Juneau since Prohibition. Alaskan beers reflect many of the same characteristics of beers that were brewed here during the gold rush era. From the historically based Alaskan Amber recipe to alder-smoked malts and Sitka spruce tips, Alaskan beers reflect Juneau’s local brewing history and innovation.

Taster at Bittercreek. Dark, clear amber, spotty head. Malty aroma, plain and simple. Taste is sweet malts, leather, tobacco, woody with a hit of raisins at the finish. Incredibly smooth for a high ABV beer. Probably an eisbock and not doppelbock as entered here.

355ml bottle, drank in California on Christmas Day 2019. Light haze to the pale golden body, white wisp on top. Hoppy little number with a piney and citrusy presence in both the aroma and taste. Fairly bitter and dry throughout.
