Skagway Brewing Company

Dedicated to creating fresh unfiltered ales using hydroelectricity and pure untreated Alaskan water, Brewer Trevor Clifford makes five staple ales (and a couple others as time and creativity allows): Prospector Pale, Chilkoot Trail IPA, Boom Town Brown, Blue Top Porter, and their signature beer, Spruce Tip Blonde Ale, in which one of the hops additions are substituted with handpicked Sitka Spruce tip buds native to the area. This signature ale has been featured in Draft Magazine twice (“50 Beers, 50 States” January 2010 and “Pubs we love: Cold weather brewpubs” February 2011) and also in Ben McFarland’s World’s Best Beers: 1000 Unmissable Brews from Portland to Prague. The Brew Co.’s handcrafted ales are only available at the pub where one can enjoy a glass or a sampler flight served fresh from holding tank to tap. But wait. Want this tasty brew to go? You can purchase a growler, which is a sixty-four ounce jug, filled with the beer of your choice and hit whatever dusty trails you desire.
