Beer on the Last Frontier is the first book series ever written that focuses exclusively on the craft breweries and brewpubs of Alaska. It is an exploration of and guide to the numerous craft breweries of The Great Land and the exceptional beers they are brewing. Volume I covers the breweries of the Kenai Peninsula and Kodiak Island. Volume II covers Anchorage, Fairbanks, and all points in between. Volume III covers Southeast Alaska. These books are not intended to be stand-alone guides to Alaska. Rather, they should be viewed as guidebooks specifically for the craft beer lover, and will enable any visitor or tourist who is particularly interested in experiencing craft beer in Alaska to do so most effectively. Alaska is unique in its climate, its wildlife and the people who live there. Is it any surprise that its beers are unique as well? Beers, wines, meads, distilled spirits: they are all made commercially in Alaska. And not just made, but made well. Alaska’s alcoholic beverages are the frequent winners of awards in national and even international competitions. There are 24 commercial breweries in Alaska, three wineries, a meadery, and three distilleries. Not bad for a state with under 800,000 total residents. So if you will be traveling to Alaska and enjoy craft beer, these guidebook are a must!

Each volume is profusely illustrated with photographs and contains interviews with the brewers, as well as providing detailed information to aid the visitor to Alaska, such as driving directions, operating hours, plus beer lists and tasting notes for each of the craft breweries. Besides detailed information on each of the breweries, the book also offers suggestions on bars, restaurants, and liquor stores in the regions which offer good selections of craft beers from the 49th state.
