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.

15th Dec 2019, 355ml bottle while in California. Golden/amber body, wispy head, then nothing. Fairly sweet, spiced with something more than a spruce tips that's for sure. Struggled to enjoy this.

On Tap. Clear deep chestnut brown with just a thin skin of tan bubbles. Sweet caramelized toasted malts in the aromas and flavors. Slich smooth and more sweetness. Very tasty, but I dont think it tasted like as much as the claimed 25 IBUs. felt like it needed a bit more. Very tasty

Bottle from SHIG. Cheers ears. Sour berry aroma. Dark amber. Frothy creamy off-white head. Medium sweet. Some underlying bitterness. Rich. Fruit and caramel. Medium bodied. Slick. Fizzy carbonation. Long finish. Rich and sweet rather than saccharine sweet which is fine with me. The kind of lager you'd want to drink on a cold Alaskan night (whatever that means).

Husky IPA from Alaskan Brewing Company

6.2/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 7
355ml bottle; BB 14th Nov 19. Brought back from Alaska by a friend, drank at home on 4th Oct 19. Straw blonde body, wispy white head. Floral aroma with a light citrus twist, taste is grassy and floral with again a citrus leaning. There is a malty base on which the hops feed, it's pleasant without being too interesting, overall a decent IPA but lacks any individuality.
