The year was 1842. The location – Pilsen, Czech Republic. Brewer Josef Groll brewed the worlds first golden colored “Pilsner” lager and changed the world of beer forever. With only a single malt, and single hop used, the Pilsner beer style is simple and telling – it is a clean canvas where the brewer’s heart, passion, and skill are showcased. HooDoo Czech Pilsner is brewed with characterful Bohemian Pilsner barley malt, and hopped with spicy Czech-grown Saaz hops. After fermentation with our favorite lager yeast strain, the beer was cold conditioned in our cellar for months.

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
Available to enjoy by the glass, or to go in 750mL bottles.
