You gotta love brewery that gives free samples! The Alaskan Brewery was started in Juneau in
the mid-80s and is hugely popular – because it’s darn good beer and because the
brewery tour has free beer samples. The
‘tour’ is really only a short presentation and video about the brewery, then
slide up to the bar in the gift store and sample away.
They make the award-winning Alaskan Smoked
Porter where the barley is smoked over alderwood, just like the salmon is in
these parts. It’s really, really good,
though it’s more of a ‘sipping’ beer - I couldn’t drink a lot! They ship all the raw ingredients up by barge
except the water. The plant recycles
it’s CO2 and they use the spent barley for fuel!
