I've heard that they use salmon somewhere in the brewing process, I wonder if it does anything.

That is complete BS.....I grew up in Juneau and I can assure you they don't use Salmon.....Nor does their beer include snow from the iditarod trail, or melted glacier water, or orca blubber or hair of the grizzly......

....maybe what you are referring to is the fact that they smoke some of their malts for their smoked porter at Taku Smokeries, a fish processor across the street from the brewery......

I think the salmon reference is loosely related to their Smoked Porter. They did smoke their malt at a salmon processing plant using the same alder wood that is used to smoke salmon.

Alaskan Brewing Company - Our Brew - Alaskan Smoked Porter Story

And while there water might not be directly from the glacier it does originate from a glacier water source.

Water, five types of malt, 2 varieties of hops and yeast with no adjuncts, no preservatives and no pasteurization. Our glacier-fed water originates in the 1,500 square-mile Juneau Ice Field. Prior to brewing, selected malts are smoked in small batches under carefully controlled conditions in a commercial food smoker using local alder wood.

This is a good beer though. Its all I drink whenever I'm in Anchorage.

Sorry, I just had to point out also that this description of their "glacier-fed" water makes it Juneau tap water (it does sound good though, can't blame 'em for using it)....all the water that Juneau gets comes from the ice-fields, most all of it down through the silverbow basin and into Gold creek, the former of which holds my favorite hiking trail in the whole world, Perseverance trail. Juneau is king for Hiking trails!

Thanks I am gonna make this. But I dont have a store that keeps fresh wyeast on hand near by. I use White Labs. Do you think that any yeast meant for a European styled beer would be essentially the same thing? Or at least close enough?
