Alaskan Stout was originally brewed as a Rough Draft for our customers in Alaska. The popularity of the Stout allowed it to become the Brewery’s fourth year round product in the fall of 1998. The beer has garnered two awards at The Best in West: Silver in 1997 for the Dark Beer Category and a Bronze in 1998 for the Strong Stout Category. Alaskan Stout was awarded a Gold at 1998's Great Alaska Beer Festival in the Dark Beer Category. Alaskan Stout is an Oatmeal Stout. The origins of Oatmeal Stout go back hundreds of years when oats were added to Stouts to promote a healthier image than other beers available during that time period. Glacier fed water, Pale, Vienna and Black malts, malted wheat, roast barley, oats, hops and yeast, with no preservatives and no pasteurization are used for Alaksan Stout. The water used comes from the Juneau Ice Field and Southeast Alaska’s abundant rainfall. Golding hops are used to give this beer a traditional flavor. The unique blend of the oats and malts in Alaskan Stout produce a balanced, smooth beer with hints of chocolate, coffee and caramel. Alaskan Stout is well matched with blackened snapper, oysters or desserts like Black Forest Cake.
