I've been to the brewery several times as I live in Juneau. I loved your review on Alaskan beer! I think the rough draft series beer that Sharon was referring to was the Boogie Bitter. Named after the summer solstice party called "Boogie 'til You Puke." It's an incredible beer!</p> Hi… I’ve been to the brewery several times as I live in Juneau. I loved your review on Alaskan beer!

I haven't been on a cruise at all. Hope to be on the show soon though if you will have me. Some exciting beer stuff going on in my little corner of the craft brew world.</p> Hope it wasn’t me you were referring to on the cruise thing. I haven’t been on a cruise at all.

Since it is alcohol you’re ordering, you have to have an adult present on delivery to sign for it- they aren’t gonna just leave it by your door.

Also, though their packing crates are awesome (molded styrofoam cells in two sizes inside cardboard cases), I would be really leery about ordering beer when it’s really cold out or really hot. They are good insulation, but your beer may be on the road for a few days, and you don’t want it freezing or cooking either.

Issues aside, I’ve had a chance to enjoy some really interesting stuff thanks to them!
