Alaskan
Brewing
 The Alaskan brewing
company is the oldest operating brewery in Alaska, with
their amber beer being
their most popular brand.
They produce two other brands as well, pale ale and
Alaskan frontier
amber. If you enjoy fresh
amber beer, Alaskan brewing is what you
want.
As you may already know, brewing beer in Alaska is
very hard to do.
The coastal community of Juneau doesn't have road
connections to the lower 48 states, so everything arrives and
leaves by water or air, with weather always having
the final say.
In 1986, the Alaskan brewing
company became the 67th brewery to operate in
the United States and the only one to operate in
Alaska. Since that time, Alaskan brewery has received
more than 30 major medals and awards, including
the best beer in the nation award during the 1988
Great American Beer Festival.
The popularity of their
beers has led to a great amount of efforts to keep up
with the demand from consumers. They also hold
the unnofficial record for the production on a 10
barrel brewing system, which produces an amazing 42
batches a week.The Alaskan Brewery offers
several different styles of brew as well, which are
listed below:
1. Amber - This is the
company's flagship beer, based on a turn of the
century recipe that was used to quench the
thirst of the miners during the Gold Rush era. It
provides a smooth, malty, rich taste that goes well
with meals - or friends.
2.Pale -
Pale is fresh, crips, and inviting. Alaskan pale is
great with crab, pawns,and salads. The floral aroma
of the hops is
derived from dry hopping the
tanks during the entire fermentation
process.
3. Stout -
The oatmeal style beer of stout doesn't have the harshness
of other stouts. Great with chocolate and hearty
meals, stout is also ideal to enjoy while walking
in the snow.
4. ESB - If
you like hops, the infusion of hops in this delight will
amaze your nose while the refreshing cascade hops
will provide a wonderful crispness to both the flavor
and the finish. This beer is great with spicy
food, wild game, and other wintery food.
5. Smoked
porter - Very exclusive, Alaskan smoked porter has a world
class reputation for its excellence. Brewed in the
fall, this beer is ideal for storing in the cellar
for later enjoyment.
6. Winter
ale - This tender brew of spruce trees has been used for
brewing in Alaska since the late 1700s
