Hello excellent Alaskan beers! It has been sad that since I've moved up to Alaska that I've certainly taken a hit with the amount of breweries I can explore. But my few trips to Anchorage have absolutely quenched my thrist. The company is not-so-bad either, Mary & Weston always show us a good beer time and this time added DeAnna to the review.
Midnight Sun Brewing Co. ranges from beers you want to drink sessionly to beers that knock your socks off after one. Their warehouse-like restaurant/ brewery is filled with 22 oz bottles, funky t-shirts, good food, and of course, fantastic beer! Hope for a sunny day and head out to the porch.

seasonal beers that truly impress me. This visit I had the Secession Black IPA and damn! that is good. (Plus the shirts dedicated to this beer are very awesome.) Black IPA seems to be a new trend with Oregon brewers and I have to say I am enjoying it. Here's another blogger's opinion of this trend: http://beervana.blogspot.com/2009/01/on-black-ipas.html. The other beer I had was also very very good, it was the seasonal RED but I can't remember the name and can't find the name of the seasonals anywhere on the website.
I visited the brewery with Jonah, my finance and Tommy, the man who will marry us. Actually it was here that decision was made. I am grateful to both of them - with their help I have visited all the Southeast Portland breweries! This picture is actually from California but I didn't take any photos while at HUB so this is all you get.
I wanted to put stats on their beers but forgot to steal a menu and their website is getting revamped. Instead go check it out for yourself and make sure to bring your aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandma!
