This week, as winter starting to rear its head, I bring you a beer from the northernmost state in the Union (in collaboration with a Michigan brewery) and another from a Ohio.
I’ll start with the coldest place in the US, Alaska’s own Anchorage Brewing Company.
Anchorage Brewing Company is now available in most of the US (the entire Midwest, West Coast, Arizona, Colorado, North Carolina, and sporadically in the Northeast). They love using Brettanomyces in their beer…in fact I think every bottle I’ve ever seen has had the Brett yeast strain in it.
Well, they teamed up with Michigan’s own Jolly Pumpkin, who’s been brewing up artisan beer since 2004 in Dexter, Michigan, to give us an interesting saison: Calabaza Boreal.
