49th State's new brewmaster, Joel Shields, has joined the team after nearly 17 years of brewing at Ales & Spirits, where he oversaw all production as brewmaster. Joel's history with 49th State goes way back, though. He originally met 49th State founder David McCarthy in brewing school years ago. Now the two can finally work together. His addition to our team marks a new era of quality, consistency, innovation, and growth for our brand.

Who is this mysterious new brewmaster of ours? Here are a few facts about him:
- His favorite 49th State beer is Solstice IPA. He loves IPAs but is not a fan of hazy ones.
- When brewing beer, his favorite tunes to jam out to are folk mixes on Spotify.
- When brewing Frontier Soda, his favorite tune to jam out to is Def Leopard's "Pour Some Sugar On Me" on repeat.
- The thing he's most excited about in Alaska is experiencing the majesty of Denali firsthand.
- He's originally from Spokane, Washington, where he's killed over 30 rattlesnakes while working on wheat ranches as a teen. The last pic shows one such casualty.

Welcome to the team, Joel!

Dankorage DIPA is back on draft and in cans at our Downtown Anchorage Pub just in time for the 4/20 holiday. Dry-hopped with Krush, Nectaron, and Columbus Cryo hops, we added an extra special ingredient: cannabis terpenes from the Blackberry Kush strain, which lends dank cannabis aromas and flavors without the THC. The result is a super dank double IPA oozing with notes of ripe passionfruit and juicy grapefruit.

Our Story

Founded in 2010 in the shadow of North America’s tallest peak, 49th State Brewing is the brainchild of two men: one a chef/restaurateur/brewer and the other a true Alaskan adventurer. 49th State Brewing’s Denali Park location provides a beer-centric basecamp for those experiencing the wondrous wilderness of Denali National Park, and their downtown Anchorage location serves up world-class brews with amazing views. Both locations feature award-winning menus filled with locally and sustainably-sourced Alaskan ingredients.
