E-Malt.com News article: USA, AK: Alaskan Brewing Co. releases Winter Ale

Alaskan Brewing Co. is welcoming the cool and wet winter weather with the always-anticipated release of its seasonal Winter Ale, beerpulse.com reported on September, 25.

“This beer is one of our favorites in the brew house–especially as it gets colder here,” says Alaskan brewer Greg Morgan. “Sitka spruce trees carry a special significance to brewers, not just because we see them through every window of the brewery. In beer, the spruce tips add this really great, floral aroma that fills the brewery, and a subtly-sweet flavor that you’d never expect.”

Alaskan’s Winter Ale is brewed in the style of an English Old Ale.

Alaskan Winter Ale has been a proud member of Alaskan’s growing seasonal releases since its launch in 2000. Fans of this great winter warmer will see it in early October. Six packs and draft sales will be available in select locations throughout Alaska and the other 13 states where Alaskan beers are sold.

Another seasonal favorite, the Alaskan Spring Black IPA, releases on January 1, 2013, just in time for the slowly lengthening days of early spring.
