The first stop was Juneau.
After a great hike through the Mendenhall glacier area we decided we
needed to fit in a quick tour of the Alaskan Brewery before boarding our small
plane to Gustavus.
To our great fortune we were picked up by Steve, a 400 lb ex
band manager/roadie from Boston who drove a band to Juneau in 1972 and never
left. This awesome gentlemen ran the sound board for the third year of FarmAid
(1987) which also happened to be Cindy’s first concert. She met Willie Nelson, it
was the beginning of everything. Okay, back to Juneau. On the road to the brewery Steve offered to wait
while we drank inside and then continue the drive to the airport so we wouldn’t
miss our flight. For $10. Ten bucks also
happened to be the price for each of us to experience 6 tastings (plus a
coozie). Destiny, yep!
Beers Tasted:
Summer Ale 3.5 stars
Freeride 5 stars
Smash galaxy 3.5 stars
Smash galaxy 430 3 stars
Azacca 5 stars
35 minutes and 5 tastings each later (20 ounces) we are
smiling and on our way to our small plane to Glacier Bay National Park.
