Destination Brewfest: Great Alaska Craft Beer and Home Brew Festival

You heard it here first, I'm totally going next year!  I love Haines Alaska and Haines Brewing Company beer; I always thought if I was given a good reason to visit again that of course I would go.  But this year when our friend Ariel Rolfe invited us to go, I had to say no :(  You know, it's the same ole story of low on funds, not enough time, and the frustrating transportation in this part of AK.  But next year, I'm going!

The breweries that take part are all Alaskan brewed; most, if not all of the Alaskan breweries make the trip to the Festival.  From big to small, they have them all.
Alaskan Brewing Company ~ Juneau
Haines Brewing Company ~ Haines
Skagway Brewing Company ~ Skagway
