Liquid Gold In The Land Of The Midnight Sun
Manage episode 346878786 series 3412428
Gold is the state mineral of Alaska. Sea otters were considered soft gold due to their desired fur pelts. And your podcast hosts and have unofficially named beer as the liquid gold of the Last Frontier State. Beer has always been a large part of this podcast with our episodic beer reviews from local Alaskan breweries and so we decided to dedicate this entire episode to just beer...more specifically, the history of beer in the state of Alaska. Join us as we walk with you through time from the original beers of the Alaskan gold rush to the current state of beers in Alaska. How does one win a guest spot on our podcast? What specialty beers is Alaska known for? And why were brewers the real winners of the gold rush movement? It's the episode you'll crack one open for!
