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.

Icy Bay IPA from Alaskan Brewing Company

6.5/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 5 Flavor 6 Texture 8 Overall 7
Bottle, from Bottle Liquor, Morro Bay, CA. Pours faintly cloudy rich golden with foamy whitish head, faint resinous aroma, medium carbonation, bitter resinous malty taste with faint citrus aroma, thin body, long bitter finish. Not very remarkable, I'd expect much more with so many different hop varieties.

Smoked Porter (2008) from Alaskan Brewing Company

8/10
I think this might be starting to go past its prime. Still heavy smokey of course, but seems to be missing some of the rich meatyness younger ones have, getting a bit flat. Smooth and ashy, really fun to try one this old.
