We have this in Rochester, so it is imported, though I doubt it makes it as far as Alaska.
Good stuff--both kinds were on sale at a local bar for $2 a few months ago, and I "sampled" the heck out of those bad boys. Now and again I'll pick up a bottle at the local beer store.
I used to buy it by the case from the Belgian officers club at Ramstein. Glad that it is at least available in some parts of the country. Anyone out there tried the Alaska Brewing Company's offerings? http://www.alaskanbeer.com/
I am especially fond of the Amber and Winterfest brews.
Cheers.

Well played!I made the trip this last Julygot the sampler...stumbled out.
I love the stuff from Alaskan Brewing. The smoked porter is very hard to come by but well worth the effort. They just released their 2009 batch so keep an eye out. Those of you on the west coast will have a much better time finding it than the rest of us. The only place I've been able to stumble across some was while on vacation in Denver last fall. Up here in ND it is pretty hit and miss on getting anything too exciting and new. Seeing as how it is winter and all their barleywine is also very good. I would however, caution against trying to take on the whole bottle solo!
I spent a few summers feeding tourists in Alaska, and had quite a few ABC beers while there--though I must admit, I was more interested in volume-to-dollar ratios back then, and thus tended to spend my money on Ranier draft and Foster's oilcans.
Melhaven Scottish Ale is one of my favorites. If you're in Fairbanks, Alaska the Silver Gluch Brewery has a lot of great beers, I also like the Baltic Spruce Tip Porter. Mmmmmm Good

i've settled into three locals and an import:
-Guinness (nitro-can)
-Middle Ages Swallow Wit (brewed 45min away)
-Ommegang Witte
-Ommegang Hennepin (brewed 1 hr away)
the local brewery is Matts/Saranac, about five minutes from me, but Saranac is usually reserved for mass buys for bbq's within my circle of friends. their 'Black Forest'(schwarzbier, black lager) is pretty darn good for a session beer.

Schlitz. It's what made Milwaukee famous.
Right now, Leinenkugel's Fireside Nut Brown. A good Wintertime brew.
