Northern Exposure




The crew at Forbidden Peak just returned from an exciting adventure up North in Haines, Alaska, for the 17th Annual Great Alaskan Craft and Homebrew Festival. The extended weekend gave the brewery some quality time to spread the good word of FPB. Forbidden Peak Brewery unveiled our new line of clothing- Skookum's Gold. The shirts were a huge hit and it turns out, so was the beer. A few of the staples and a few new beers snuck in and landed some hardware. Here are Forbidden Peak Brewery's awards from the GACHF:
Gold
AukNess Amber: Gold Medal, English Brown & Porter Category (Brown Porter)
Meh Teh's Vengeance Vanilla Stout: Gold Medal, Fruit/ Herb/ Spice/ Smoked Category
Seward's Ice Box: Gold Medal, Light Hybrid Category (Koelsch)
Silver
Ring of Fire Pale Ale: Silver Medal, American Ale (Pale Ale)
Son of a Fitch Belgian White: Silver Medal, Witbier
Bronze
McGinnis Marzen: Bronze Medal, Lager (Marzen/ Oktoberfest)
Red Storm Red Ale: Bronze Medal, Amber Hybrids, English Pale ales, Scottish and Irish ales (Irish Red Ale)
Three Sheets IPA: Bronze Medal, IPA (English IPA)
Hair of the Yeti Espresso Stout: Bronze Medal, Fruit/ Herb/ Spice/ Smoked Ale



A few of the FPB Brew Crew Members snuck out early to compete in the King Slammin 5K run. They represented well, breaking into the top 10 and energizing the rest of the crew.

Thanks to the entire FPB Crew who contributed to the brewing, bottling, tasting, and inspiration for all of our award winning brews!


Stay tuned into the store as the Skookum's Gold line of shirts (t-shirts, long sleeve t-shirts, and hooded sweatshirts) will be available for purchase in the next week or two.
