Dow Jones Description
Soon after gold was discovered in 1881, breweries in the new town of Juneau began quenching the thirst of hardy Alaskan miners. By 1903 at least four breweries had begun operation in the twin cities of Juneau and Douglas. Between 1899 and 1907, local residents enjoyed a particularly fine brew created by the Douglas City Brewing Company. Almost 100 years later, Alaskan Amber Beer, based on that same historic recipe, has started a small gold rush of its own. In 1986, the Alaskan Brewing Company became the 67th operating brewery in the United States and the only one in Alaska. Since that time our products have brought home more than 33 major medals and awards, including "Best Beer in the Nation" in the 1988 Great American Beer Festival Consumer Preference Poll.

Plant Manager Curtis always wears his Xtratuffs when he golfs, fishes and even when he works. Curtis has worked his way up through the ranks at Alaskan Brewing Co. over the past 12 years. "I love Juneau. It's great to be able to go 10 minutes from home and hike, fish, or even golf," says Curtis, a transplant from Evanston, Wyoming. "I just make sure to wear my Xtratuffs on the back four holes, because even at low tide it's kind of boggy," he chuckles. "And when the salmon spawn, it's a whole new game. Sometimes you just leave the ball where it hits and start with a new one rather than dig it out of a smelly fish carcass."
