Alaskan Brewing Company is adding its first year-round dark beer to their family of award-winning favorites, Alaskan Stout.
For those yearning to satisfy their dark side, Alaskan Brewing Company introduces its first year-round dark beer. In September, the Juneau-based brewery rolls out Alaskan Oatmeal Stout. Made from a complex blend of five malts and flaked oats, the Alaskan Oatmeal Stout is noted for its creamy, semi-sweet, malt taste and rounds out the family of brews offered by Alaskan. Now beer lovers can find a full flavor spectrum from the award-winning brewery including Alaskan Amber, Alaskan Pale, Alaskan Frontier and the seasonal Alaskan Smoked Porter.
First served as a draft in Alaska and Washington, Alaskan Oatmeal Stout quickly gained recognition, garnering awards such as a silver medal at the "Best of the West" competition. The new label will be distributed as supply allows in Alaskan Brewing markets throughout the Pacific Northwest. It will be available on draft, by the case and in 6-packs.
What makes the Alaskan Oatmeal Stout stand out? According to Curtis Holmes, Production Manager, "It's drinkable. It doesn't have the harsh or burnt characters that many people associate with stout beers. The flaked oats go a long way in making it remarkably smooth and well balanced."
For chefs interested in pairing Alaskan Oatmeal Stout with cuisine, the brewery recommends blackened snapper, oysters or desserts such as Black Forest cake.
The Alaskan Brewing Company has been recognized internationally for its line of award-winning beers. Its products have won more Great American Beer Festival medals than those of any other craft brewery. Alaskan Brewing Company is Alaska's oldest operating brewery, founded in 1986.
