Forbidden Peak Brewery Brings Home Skookum's Gold

Forbidden Peak Brewery: Award Winning Beer!

The FPB Crew recently returned from a glorious weekend in Haines, Alaska at the 16th Annual Great Alaska Homebrew and Craft Beer Festival. The Crew traveled north with expectations of enjoying a few pints in the beautiful southeast Alaska sunshine, but came away with much more. Forbidden Peak Brewery celebrated its 8-month anniversary by being awarded the gold medal in the American Ale category for our Arctic Beaver Brown, and a silver medal in the English, Scottish, and Irish Ales category for our Red Storm.

There were a total of 76 entries in the home brew competition, making the event an officially sanctioned American Homebrew Association event.

Congratulations to FPB and the entire Crew who made it out support the beer!!!

A big congratulations and shout-out is also in order to Brant and Jamie, who took home the bronze medal in the English, Scottish, and Irish Ales, and also spent the weekend judging beers. (We had an elaborate scheme set up to bribe them, but then realized they don't know what categories or whose beers they are judging)

It was an inspiring weekend for the FPB marketing department, including the birth of the "Forbidden Peak Girls". Look for the calendar coming out next Christmas. May will always be the month of the Gold Spot!

Mid-way through an exhaustive search for Skookum's grave, the Crew decided to kick back and take in the scenery in sunny Southeast, AK.

Last but certainly not least, a big THANK YOU from the entire Crew goes to John and Julie, for hosting an impressive turnout of the Seattle and Juneau contingent, and for sponsoring the epic Great Beer and Lawn Games Tournament. That's the Ladder!!
