Thank you to our Juneau Grown Gala Presenting Sponsor, Alaskan Brewing Company! 🍻

Founded right here in Juneau in 1986, Alaskan Brewing Company is celebrating 40 years of brewing, innovation, and staying true to its Southeast Alaska roots!

What started with Marcy and Geoff Larson's vision to bring brewing back to Juneau has grown into one of the nation's top 50 independent breweries, with distribution across 25 states. From the Gold Rush history that inspired Alaskan Amber to the local ingredients and traditions that influence their beers today, Juneau has always been a big part of their story.

Four decades later, Alaskan Brewing continues to call Juneau home, making them a perfect example of what it means to be Juneau Grown. 🌱

A huge thank you to Alaskan Brewing Company for serving as a Lasting Legacy Presenting Sponsor of this year's Gala and for continuing to invest in the community where it all began.
