Review: Alaskan Hard Seltzer Mixed Pack

Alaskan Mango Peach and Mixed Berry Hard Seltzer join the previously released and reviewed Alaskan Lemon Lime and Cherry Grapefruit Hard Seltzer.  All four are featured in the recently released Alaskan Hard Seltzer Mixed Pack.  Marcy and Geoff Larson opened Alaskan Brewing Company in Juneau Alaska in 1986.  Today Alaskan is the 22nd largest craft brewery in the US.  Not bad when you consider the size of the Alaskan market and the distance their beer needs to travel to reach the other 49 states.  They current craft 8 year round beers including Alaskan Amber, White, Kolsch, Icy Bay IPA, Freeride Pale Ale, SMaSH Galaxy, Husky IPA, and Hopothermia.  Alaskan Hard seltzer is brewed from fermented dextrose and Sitka spruce tips.  Filtered carbonated water, and natural flavors, complete the ingredient list.

Review: Alaskan Hard Seltzer

Alaskan Hard Seltzer was released October 2019 by the Alaskan Brewing Company.  It is currently available in two flavors, Spruce Lemon Lime, and Spruce Cherry Grapefruit.  The Alaskan Brewing Company was opened by Marcy and Geoff Larson in 1986.  They were the 67th independent brewery in the US and the first in Juneau since Prohibition.  While researching brewing in Alaska, Marcy found recipes from Douglas City Brewing Company, a brewery in Douglass Alaska from 1899-1907.  At that time Douglas was the third largest city in Alaska with about 1500 residence.  In 1970 Douglas merged to become part of Juneau.  One of the recipes Marcy found became their first beer, Alaskan Amber.  As the 22nd largest craft brewing company in the US Alaskan Brewing company crafts 8 year round beers and several Limited Edition beers.  They were the first craft brewery in the US to install and operate a carbon dioxide reclamation system.  This system prevents over 1 million pounds of CO2 being released into the atmosphere each year.  Alaskan Hard Seltzer is made from fermented dextrose, filtered carbonated water, spruce tips, and natural flavors.  Each flavor weighs in with 4.5% alcohol, 95 calories, and 2 carbs.
