This is not the first brewery we toured but it is the first one that I have a photo on record. Just outside the downtown area of Juneau, Alaska, it was one of the most remote breweries were ventured to. Well before we had this hair-brained idea to photograph and review breweries, I still felt it necessary to include the one photo in this blog.
The beer here was incredible on tap but sadly we did not have the same reaction to the bottled version when we bought some at home. But don’t let that stop you from having an Alaskan beer. Though we do not have an official review of their brews (as if any of our reviews are official), we can make a few recommendations.
