 Innovation in taste
Innovation is a hallmark of life in Alaska, and that applies to Alaskan Brewing Co. as well. And innovation has never tasted as good as Alaskan Rough Drafts—small batches of specialty brews made by our Brew Crew and sold on draft only in Alaska.
“The Rough Draft program is an opportunity for our crew to design and brew beers for the pure art of brewing,” says Brent Kesey, Alaskan head brewer. “Every beer we sell started out as a Rough Draft.”
The program is part research and development, part cross-training and all fun. Under the guidance of a brewer, teams of brewery employees from other departments get together to research, discuss and ultimately brew a Rough Draft beer. The program enables everyone from accounting and sales to maintenance and packaging to have the opportunity to brew a specialty beer on our 1-barrel or 10-barrel systems.
 Various styles such as India Pale Ales, Bocks and Dunkels are brewed and sold in kegs for limited distribution, much to the delight of beer fans. Inspiration can come from anywhere—from the pesky Devil’s club shrub to fresh jalapenos to a cup of joe. If you make it to Alaska, check out our latest offering. But do it quickly, because the only thing our varied Rough Drafts have in common is that they don’t last long!
