Alaskan Amber 6-Pk Cans

Description

The name of this beer style comes from the German word alt meaning old. This refers to the aging that alts undergo since they ferment more slowly and at colder temperatures than most ales. Slow fermentation helps condition the flavors in Alaskan Amber, contributing to its overall balance and smoothness. 5.3% ABVFlavorRichly malty and long on the palate, with just enough hop backing to make this beautiful amber colored alt style beer notably well balanced.IngredientsAlaskan Amber is made from glacier-fed water and a generous blend of the finest quality European and Pacific Northwest hop varieties and premium two-row pale and specialty malts.Our water originates in the 1,500 square-mile Juneau Ice Field and the more than 90 inches of rainfall we receive each year.HistoryAlaskan Amber is based on a recipe from a turn-of-the-century brewery in the Juneau area. It was voted Best Beer in the Nation in the 1988 Great American Beer Festival Consumer Poll.The Story Behind the LabelThere are no roads connecting the remote coastal community of Juneau, Alaska to the Lower 48 or even the rest of the state. Everything must travel by air or sea. Oceangoing vessels, from fishing trollers to small skiffs, are a common sight as they travel the icy waters of Southeast Alaska. Each evening fishermen from all walks of life return to a safe harbor and close the day with a cold Alaskan Amber.Awards2019Beer Army Beer WarsGold Irish-style Red Ale2018US Open Beer ChampionshipBronze Irish-style Red Ale2016Los Angeles International Beer CompetitionBronze Irish-style Red Ale2012World Beer CupSilver Irish-style Red Ale2011Los Angeles County FairBronze Irish-style Red AleAustralian International Beer AwardsBronze Irish-Style Red AleEuropean Beer Star AwardsGold Red or Amber Lager2010North American Brewing AwardsGold Irish RedAustralian International Beer AwardsSilver Dusseldorf-Style AltbierWest Coast Brew Fest2nd Place MixedCapitol Food & Wine FestBest in ShowAmber/Pale2009Northwest Brewing NewsBest in the Northwest Amber AleUS Open Beer ChampionshipSilver Medal Irish-style Red AleLos Angeles County FairGold Medal Irish-style Red AleWest Coast Brew FestBronze Medal Alt-style AleAustralian International Beer AwardsSilver Medal Irish-style Red Ale
