New Breweries Everywhere You look…

They say spring is the season of new growth, and breweries across Alaska really seem to be taking that to heart. Darn near every day, I read another Facebook post or press release about a new brewery getting ready to open or an existing brewery expanding or building an new facility. It’s an exciting time to be writing about craft beer in our great state, let me tell you! So let’s move on to the latest news.

First off, Haines Brewing Company has at last broken ground on their new brewery, being built at 4th & Main St. in downtown Haines. Paul Wheeler & Jeanne Kitayama hope to move out of Dalton City in August and open the new brewery for business in September. With a larger brewhouse and expanded fermentation capacity, we can hope to see Haines’ beers on tap more frequently in other parts of the state. Speaking of which, The Island Pub in Juneau had four of Haines’ beers on tap last weekend; not sure if any are still left.
