our highly prized Smoked Porter is released in November.

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.
