Alaskan Brewing moves into a new market for the first time in three years

APRIL 3, 2008
JUNEAU, ALASKA - Alaskan Brewing Co. is pleased to announce that after 20 years of attending and bringing home awards from the Great American Beer Festival in Denver, the brewery will finally begin supplying thirsty consumers in Colorado year round.

Inundated over the years with requests from Colorado consumers, Alaskan Brewing is answering their call with the launch of Alaskan Amber along Colorado’s Front Range in early spring, with the Alaskan Summer Ale, Alaskan Pale and Alaskan Smoked Porter to follow. Fans in Colorado who have previously traveled to neighboring states for Alaskan Beer are excited to hear that the wait is over.

Those that would like to be a part of the excitement can join Alaskan Brewing this spring at several launch events throughout Colorado:

• In Ft. Collins, Alaskan Brewing will be at the Taste of Loveland on Wednesday, April 9.
  
  
• In Denver, Alaskan Brewing is hosting a Smoked Porter Night at Falling Rock on Thursday, April 10th.
  
  
• Alaskan Brewing is pouring at the Breckenridge Beer Festival in Breckenridge on Saturday, April 12th.
  
  
• In Colorado Springs, Alaskan Brewing will be at the Fremont County Brew Ha-Ha on Saturday, May 10th.

Fresh kegs arrived in late-March for delivery to those pubs and restaurants eager to satisfy their taste for adventure with Alaskan Amber. Alaskan Amber’s newly released packaging, with the vivid red and iconic Alaskan commercial fishing boat will also soon appear in retail accounts around Denver, Boulder, Fort Collins and Colorado Springs.
