{"title":"Anchorage Brewing Company","description":"\u003cp\u003eAnchorage Brewing Company is a brewery from Anchorage in Alaska, founded in 2010 by Gabe Fletcher. They focus on barrel-aged beers, Brett and mixed culture beers, barrel aged imperial stouts and barleywines. Outside Alaska, the bottles are hard to find.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!--verhaal--\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrom Midnight Sun to a brewery of his own\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGabe Fletcher is the brewer and founder of Anchorage Brewing Company in Anchorage, Alaska. He started brewing at Midnight Sun Brewing Company in 1998, at age 21, became head brewer there within a year and a half and stayed for thirteen years. After that he started his own brewery, which opened in 2010.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccording to Fletcher himself, Anchorage Brewing Company was then the first brewery in the United States to work exclusively with Brett. In the beginning, everything was fermented in barrels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tasting room is special. You sit in the brewery itself, right next to the barrels and the brew kettle, and there are 120-barrel foeders that have been converted into seating. The food comes from Familia, the company of Fletcher's sister and brother-in-law, which operates in the same building. Anchorage Brewing Company doesn't advertise and hardly pushes its beer onto the market in Anchorage: if you want to drink it, you come to them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBarrel-aged, Brett and everything in between\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe focus is on barrel-aged beer, Brett beers and sour beer. They also make barrel aged imperial stouts and barleywines, but also hazy IPAs and pilsners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe market changed: people no longer wanted big 750 ml bottles of saison. Fletcher adapted, but says they kept brewing what they want to brew themselves. Lately they have been focusing more on Brett and mixed culture beers again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe brewery's website lists, among others, Fingal, a coolship saison, Black Barrel and The Bad Men, a mixed culture sour with blackberries, the Czech style pilsner Time For A Change and the alcohol-free hop water Tiger Tears. They made collaboration beers with, among others, Tired Hands, Mikkeller, Hill Farmstead and Monkish. A Deal With the Devil is considered one of the sought-after releases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAnchorage Brewing Company at Hoptimaal\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt Hoptimaal we have had barleywines from Anchorage Brewing Company in 37.5 cl, with a strength of 18.34 to 22.9%.
