Taste: Sweet, Caramel, Earthy

This is our take on the strongest of the Scottish Ales.  Rich and malty, but clean and dry, these beers often take on a slight peat smoke character.  In addition to the nine varieties of Scottish, English, and Belgian malts, we included a small portion of peat smoked malt to the grist for a hint of earthy smoke flavor.

ABV: 6.3% // IBU: 26 // OG: 15.6

Taste: Tangerine, Silky, Tropical

Hops ahead! Supported on a light base of two-row barley malt, wheat malt, and toasted oats, our XPA is packed full of heady hop flavor and aroma from kettle additions of Eldorado and Kohatu hops, then a heavy dry hop with Mosiac hops.

ABV: 4.7% // IBU: 41 // OG: 10.9

Taste: Fruity, Tart, Dry

A traditional seasonal summer style from Wallonia – the french speaking part of Belgium. The grain bill consists of three grains: barley, wheat and oats – including a pinch of acidulated malt to lend a tartness to the beer. Lightly hopped with Golding hops – this beer pairs best with sunshine and blue skies! Al’boune fosse!

ABV: 6.0% // IBU: 28 // OG: 11.6

Available to enjoy in the Biergarten, or to go in 5-gallon kegs, growlers, and 4-packs of 16oz cans.

Taste: Toasty, Malty, Resinous

First brewed to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of UAF, this beer is made with malts from the Pacific Northwest, Germany, Belgium, and England. Centennial and Strata hops provide dank, citrus notes and balance the beer with a distinct lingering bitterness. The classic English ESB yeast strain used to ferment the wort leaves the brew clean and refreshing. Cheers!

ABV: 4.9% // IBU: 49 // OG: 11.0 

Taste: Bubblegum, Pine, Tropical

This hybrid beer was brewed in collaboration with the Pink Boots Society of Alaska. A grain bill of the finest malted barley, wheat, and oats from Germany and the US – paired with a heavy late-kettle hopping with a special Pink Boots Hop Blend. After fermentation by a beautiful Belgian yeast strain, the beer was dry hopped with even more of the Pink Boots Hop Blend. The resulting beer is delicious: bubblegum, piney, tropical notes from the hops mingle with phenolic, spicy, fruity esters from the Belgian yeast.

ABV: 7.1% // IBU: 32 // OG: 16.3

Taste: Clove, Grainy, Well-Rounded

A dark (dunkel) colored version of our Bavarian Weissbier, HooDoo Dunkelweiss is a smooth and refreshing cold weather treat.  Pale wheat malt from Bamburg, Germany along with a few carefully selected specialty grains from Briess Malting in Wisconsin provide a few sturdy platform for our celebrated Bavarian wheat yeast to show off it’s fruity, spicy character.  Recommended pairing: A crackling bon-fire and good company!

ABV: 4.8% // IBU: 10 // OG: 11.4

Taste: Pear, Banana, Oak

This year for our 21:49 release, we brewed a brand new Belgian Tripel, clocking in at 12.4% ABV. We tried an interesting Belgian yeast strain this time around, and we love the result! Light banana and pear esters on a rich malt base compliment a refreshing, dry finish – but with a surprisingly full, satisfying body. After fermentation we aged this delicious brew in freshly emptied, lightly toasted Chardonnay barrels for three months, which lends a wonderful oak flavor with a hint of chilled white wine.

ABV: 12.4% // IBU: 39 // OG: 24.1

Available by the bottle or case (12 bottles per case). **Limit two cases per customer**

Taste: Full-Bodied, Caramel, Chocolate

2022 Barleywine is our interpretation of a classic English Barleywine – the strongest of all the English Ales and a showcase of malt flavor and complexity. Focused on the rich, luscious flavors of Maris Otter malt from England, this beer has multiple layers of flavor and aroma that are explored with each flavorful sip.

ABV: 11.7% // IBU: 35 // OG: 25.8

Taste: Bourbon, Smoke, Chocolate

For the 2021 vintage of this annual release, we brewed a big, bold, slightly smokey Imperial Stout, fermented in steel, then we moved the beer to age in freshly emptied Bourbon barrels from Widow Jane Distillery in Brooklyn, New York. In the barrels, the rich stout breathed into and out of the American oak, pulling with it delicious bourbon character along with wonderful notes of vanilla and charred oak – A decadent treat perfect for sipping near a warm fire. 3:41 clocks is at 11.3% ABV and is delicious now, or can be cellared for ten years or more!

Winter Solstice

Sunrise: 10:58am

Sunset: 2:39pm

Length of day: 3 hours 41 minutes

Winter Solstice is a time of celebration for northern dwellers such as us, and it is yet another great reason to celebrate the good life in Fairbanks, Alaska.  It’s dark and cold, but the days only get longer from here, so let’s have a beer!

What to do when it’s chilly and dim?  Well, a year ago we brewed a new Imperial Oatmeal Stout – fermented it in stainless then moved it into Buffalo Trace Bourbon barrels for a year of rest.  Throughout the craziness of 2020 this big, sticky stout has been tucked into the back of the brewery, breathing in and out of the charred, whiskey soaked oak, lending big vanilla and coconut notes, along with bringing a warming bourbon kick to the pallet.  Clocking in at an enjoyable 11.0% ABV, this beer is a delicious winter solstice treat this year, and is a perfect candidate to put in the cellar and enjoy months or years in the future.

ABV: 11.0% // IBU: 48 // OG: 24.1

Taste: Pepper, Honey, Orange

Brewed to celebrate the summer solstice in Fairbanks – a day lasting 21 hours and 49 minutes from sunrise to sunset – HooDoo Belgian Tripel is a beautiful, deep golden color with a pillowy head. Delicious Weyermann malts lend the beer a sweet and satisfying malt character, a hefty dose of Belgian Candi Sugar kicks the ABV up to 11.1%, rolled oats add a smooth, creamy dimension, and of course delicious US and German hops for a balancing bitterness. All of this tasty goodness fermented with a classic Belgian Trappist yeast – delectable!

ABV: 11.1% // IBU: 32 // OG: 23.9

Available by the bottle or case (12 bottles per case).  **Limit two cases per customer**

Taste: Dry, Mellow, Oak

To celebrate the summer solstice in Fairbanks – a day lasting 21 hours and 49 minutes from sunrise to sunset – we filled two freshly emptied French Oak Chardonnay barrels with our Belgian Golden Strong and let it breathe into and out of the wood for two months in our Taproom.  This aging added additional dimensions of spice, vanilla, and wood.

ABV: 8.4% // IBU: 30 // OG: 18.4

Taste: Dry, Fruity, Effervescent

A complex marriage of fruity, spicy and alcohol flavors over a soft base of pilsner malt, noble hops, and Belgian Candi Sugar. Pale and demure with a beckoning sparkle and aroma, it’s dryness and drinkability is unassuming…and sinister.

ABV: 8.4% // IBU: 30 // OG: 18.4

Taste: Citrus, Grapefruit, Pine

Ah hops…the spice of beer. Each variety has it’s own flavor, aroma, and bitterness qualities. This sessionable ale has a lightly sweet malt base, supporting the beauty of the Cascade hop variety.

ABV: 5.2% // IBU: 48 // OG: 12.2

Taste: Refreshing, Orange, Elegant

This style of Belgian beer has been produced for hundreds of years, and it all but died out in the 1950’s – until Pierre Celis revived the style with Hoegaarden Witbier.  A three grain ale consisting of barley, wheat, and oats, this light and refreshing beer also has a subtle citrus flavor and aroma, due to a cracked coriander and bitter orange peel steep at the end of the boil. 

ABV: 5.0% // IBU: 18 // OG: 11.6

Available to enjoy in the Biergarten, or to go in 5-gallon kegs and growlers.
