FAQs

When do you release your seasonal beers?

Look for our popular Alaskan Summer Ale in March and Alaskan Winter Ale in October. Each vintage of our highly prized Smoked Porter is released in November.

Where can I purchase Alaskan beer?
Alaskan beer is available in Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Washington and Wyoming. For those outside our distribution area who yearn for a "taste of Alaska," you may contact the following:

Check out Liquid Solutions. They can send any amount, but they recommend a case or more to even out shipping.

For folks in California - Beverages & More can ship within California only. They carry Alaskan Amber, Alaskan IPA, Alaskan Pale, Alaskan Summer Ale and Alaskan Smoked Porter.

Do you give tours?
Yes, we offer complimentary tours and beer samples! Brewery visitors hear about the history of Alaskan Brewing Co., including how we make our unique and award-winning beers like our our flagship Alaskan Amber and Alaskan Smoked Porter. View our brewing, fermentation and bottling systems. Browse our historical collection and buy great beer gear at our gift shop. Please note that we are not a brewpub, so we do not have a restaurant at the brewery.

I would like to distribute or represent your beer in my area. How can I do that?
All Alaskan Brewing Co. distribution and/or representative inquiries should be mailed to:

Marcy Larson, Co-founder
Alaskan Brewing Co.
5429 Shaune Drive
Juneau, AK 99801

info@alaskanbeer.com

Please include a distributor profile and network, specific marketing area, chain activity, competitive pricing and freight channels.

Do you have logo merchandise?
Yes! You can find access to all our logo merchandise that we have available at our Gear Store. We don't have a color catalog at this time. You may, however, choose to print an order form and mail your order to us or you can call customer service and place your order over the phone at 907-780-5866.

Do you give labels or coasters to collectors?
We love collectors but a brewery our size can't support all your requests. Kindly send requests for current labels or coasters with a self-addressed stamped envelope to:

Alaskan Brewing Co.
Attn: Label/Coaster request
5429 Shaune Dr.
Juneau, AK 99801

International requests must be accompanied by an international postage coupon to cover the mailing. International collectors in Europe can contact Leo Biest by e-mail at alaskan.labels@planet.nl.  The labels are free but he may charge actual shipping.

Please note that we don't always have coasters in stock and we have run out of many of our old seasonal labels, sending our stock to the American Breweriana Association. We will do the best we can to fill your request. Collectors seeking our out of print labels may be interested in contacting American Breweriana Association at their website, regarding membership and what programs are available.  Of particular interest is an excellent label exchange program, email abalabex@aol.com for further information.  We have recently sent them a shipment of all our out-of-print mint labels.
