Alaskan Brewing Heads To Wisconsin

Alaskan Brewing recently sent out a press release about their 25 Anniversary Ale – Perseverance.  It lands on September 1st.  Even more exciting than an anniversary ale is that Alaskan will soon be distributing to Wisconsin.  Per the release:

We are thrilled to represent Alaskan Brewing Co’s award-winning beers in our markets,” says Mike Frank, President of Middleton’s Frank Beer Distributing, one of Alaskan’s Wisconsin partners.

With the addition of Wisconsin, Alaskan’s second new market entry since 2008, Alaskan beer will be available in a total of 12 states. Alaskan will be entering Wisconsin with their Gold Rush-era inspired Alaskan Amber. Alaskan IPA and White Ale will be available in mid-September, a number of their year-round and seasonal beers will be available in kegs and caseware in the state later this fall.

Perseverance Ale is a Russian Imperial Stout brewed with Alaska birch syrup, fireweed honey and alder-smoked malt — a tribute to all that makes Alaskan beers truly Alaskan.  Available in 22 oz bombers.

Alaskan Brewing Celebrates 25 Years Of Perseverance

Alaskan Brewing Company (Juneau, AK) is celebrating 25 years with a special brew. Perseverance Ale arrives this year – a special imperial stout.

Alaskan Brewing was founded in 1986 by Marcy & Geoff Larson.  At the time they were the 67th brewery in the United States, and the first in Juneau since the dark times aka prohibition.  Copied straight from the brewery bio – 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. The brewery surpassed the 100,000 per year mark in 2005.

Perseverance celebrates the first 25 with this big Russian imperial stout brewed with birch syrup and fireweed honey.

Availability: 22oz bombers.  No draft mention yet.
