From the early days of brewing in Alaska to the new kids on the block

Bill goes back to the early days of brewing in Alaska, in Skagway, and checks in with the newest kid on the central peninsula brewing block — Naptowne in Sterling. Plus, what's brewing these days in Girdwood, a look at the use of water in the science of brewing and a taste of the Burton ale style. Cheers!
