Description
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.

Draft: Poured coppery with a white head. Aroma is nice fruity, hoppy bouquet. Taste is hops not over powering, with citrus fruit.

Draft at The Pound! in Brighton. Clear chestnut amber color with a finger of off-white head that lingers. Lovely caramel malt aromas with a light bitter hop note. Smooth with herbal hop and light pine with toasted caramel that lingers on the finish.

Sampled from the tap at Red Cow North Loop. Pours near black with a brown head that dissipates slowly to the edges and laces. Aroma has bitter dark grains and roasted malts with a bit of smoke and birch notes supporting. Flavor is bitter dark grain forward as well with roast, smoke and a touch of birch coming through.
