Brewing with history 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 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. Care for a liquid history lesson? Geoff Larson reveals there is more to a glass of Alaskan Brewery's ales than meets the eye, or taste buds in this video created by the Brewers Association. http://www.craftbeer.com/pages/stories/featured-brewery/show?title=alaskan-brewing-company-juneau-alaska The great American import We brew and package our beer in Juneau, Alaska. Juneau bordered by the Pacific waters of the Inside Passage, the Tongass National Forest sits hard against the 1,500 square-mile Juneau Icefield. Only 50 miles of road run along the shores of the Gastineau Channel and Lynn Canal, making our remote coastal town only accessible by sea or air. Some folks even refer to our beer as the great American import, because it is shipped to the Lower 48 by barge. Brewing beer in Alaska isn't easy, but the Alaskan Brew Crew wouldn’t have it any other way. We have the honor of handcrafting some of the country’s most award-winning beers in one of the most majestic settings on earth. As Alaskans, we pride ourselves on living with the land, not on it. In that spirit, Alaskan has relied on innovation to grow as a company without adversely affecting the local environment we call home. From being the first craft brewery in the country to install a CO2 recovery system and a mash filter press, to the creation of the Coastal CODE, a nonprofit ocean health initiative, the brewery maintains a commitment to environmental stewardship while providing a true “taste of Alaska” to the western states. A flair for life—and beer The Alaskan Brew Crew is a diverse bunch with many interests and talents. Before joining Alaskan Brewing, crew members have held a number of unusual job titles including a tugboat deckhand, cheesemaker, commercial fisherman and horse logger. Our crew has lived and traveled all over the world-from Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, to Berlin to Tanzania. Our adventurous crew lives life to the fullest. Snowboarding in April? Check. Wakeboarding in January? Yep. Kayaking in the shadow of a glacier? You bet. Homebrewing with indigenous plants and berries? Of course. Parasailing on mountain currents, scuba diving for king crab, climbing mountains, fishing for salmon and halibut, whitewater rafting-the list is endless. We employ people who have a flair for life. What keeps the Brew Crew together is a love of where we live and what we do, and that passion shows in our beer.
