Alaskan Brewing Company
Breweriana, Collectibles, Ephemera and Memories
I have visited Alaskan Brewing Company,
in the City of Juneau, Juneau Borough, Alaska, USA.
Brewery/Brewpub Location
- Address: 5429 Shaune Dr., Juneau, AK (map)
- Follow this link for a map of all the breweries and brewpubs I have visited.
Photograph: This is the exterior of the brewery. I think I took this photo on my first visit so it's probably circa 1995. | |
Photograph: This is the tasting room in the Alaskan Brewery where their beers can be sampled after taking the tour. On this occasion I was in Juneau on business and I stopped by the brewery after a hard day of work. This is circa 2000. | |
Vertical Tasting: I've collected and cellared several years of Alaskan Smoked Porter bottles. This was the lineup for a smoked porter vertical tasting not too long ago. It represents the years 2001 through 2007, with the single exception of 2005 when I had a disruption in my source of supply. Fortunately that's not a problem anymore and the collection continues. | |

Back of Coaster. "'You people really know how to make beer.' - James Robertson, Author of The Connoisseur's Guide to Beer Brewing beer in Alaska isn't easy. But we're Alaskans, and Alaskans love a challenge! So when we set out to brew beer back in 1986, we took the challenge all the way -- brew the best beer possible, a beer worthy of being named Alaskan. Try our award winning beer from the Last Frontier! Alaskan Amber Beer * Alaskan Pale Ale * Alaskan Frontier Ale Alaskan Brewing Co." | |

Back of Coaster. "Tell us what you think of our Alaskan ESB or let a friend in on the newest name in Alaskan beer. Also visit our website at www.alaskanbeer.com and send a virtual beer to a friend" | |
Glassware: This Alaskan Brewery pint glass features a full-color version of their Alaskan Amber logo. It captures the essence of Alaska with an early morning scene of a fishing boat silhouetted against temperate rainforested hills in the foreground and snowcapped mountains in the background. While this is a typical scene, given the brewery's location one likely spot would be the Gastineau Channel near Juneau. | |
Glassware: This much simpler design features the brewery logo acid etched on glass. | |
Apparel: The recognizable brewery logo appears over the left, front area on the front of this T-shirt | |
Apparel - Back: While on the back, the Alaskan Amber logo described above appears in large size across the entire shirt. | |
Apparel: Another Juneau scene appears on their Alaskan Pale Ale T-shirt. This view looks suspiciously like Mendenhall Glacier which is located a few miles outside of town. The brewery is located in the same general vicinity. | |
Apparel: This T-shirt commemorates Alaskan's famous and award winning Smoked Porter which comes out every winter near the holidays. The image features the silhouette of reindeer at dusk walking down a slight incline. The Alaskan Smoked Porter can be cellared so it's possible to save bottles for many years and savor how the flavor changes or set up vertical tastings to compare several vintages. |
