Their Anchorage location is located right on the water near the Gulf of Alaska.

One of those things they have to offer is in the form of 49th State Brewing. Picture yourself in Alaska, immersing yourself in the exhilarating natural beauty that the state has to offer. The touch of vanilla may be small, but it balances the candy sweetness and tartness and it starts to remind you of a Tiki drink! There’s a slight hint of vanilla about mid-way through that really sets the tone for the style of beer. The first sip produces lingering tartness up front with a nice peach flavor on the back end with the tartness lingering through to the finish. When you crack it open you get the smell of fruity, sour candy. This beer does just that, it really puts you in mind of being on a beach somewhere listening to the waves roll in. Named for piano player and composer Martin Denny, who was known for taking his style of lounge music and rearranging popular songs and original songs that celebrate tiki culture. It’s an Imperial Sour with Passionfruit, Peach and Vanilla. The beer we’re featuring for TrimTab is called Martin Denny Complex. From the TribTab website it says “We each have the ability to make huge lasting impacts on this world, most notably with small things in our reach.” As if to say, no matter how small of an impact you think you might have, it goes well beyond that and we are all way more important than we think. TrimTab Brewing took on this meaning and created their namesake. While it doesn’t look like much, or like it’s capable of being an important piece, it’s actually what guides the ship. It’s the small rudder attached to the larger rudder. TrimTab Brewing is known for their IPA’s, experimental Stouts and their tongue tingling Fruited Sours.Ī little about the brewery, a trimtab is a small piece of equipment on ships and aircrafts. They have been pumping out exciting beers since 2013 and they are literally just getting started. If you’re not familiar with one of the South’s hidden micro brewery gems, let us introduce you to TrimTab Brewing. So please join us and read on to find out what brewery and beer represented your state! This list simply highlights a craft beer from a micro-brewery from that state that was chosen by the brewery as a beer that they felt best represented their brewery. We find it hard to do an article saying something is the best because one person’s palate is different from the next persons. Obviously, the craft brewery scene is very small in some states, so there are a few breweries on this list that provided a crowler to sample instead of a canned or bottled product that gets distributed regularly. Many of these breweries have distribution, even if it’s just distributed to a small, local market. We wanted to highlight the smaller, lesser-known craft breweries that don’t always get the attention that most of the larger craft breweries receive. Chances are that unless you live near these breweries or have visited the area the brewery is in, you’ve likely not heard of most of them. We started doing our research for this project towards the end of September of this year and we’ve garnered a craft beer from a micro-brewery from each state to really show what’s out there for those who wish to seek great craft beer. We are very fortunate to have these choices readily available to us here and that’s why we wanted to explore what the micro craft breweries across America have to offer. With nearly 9,000 thousand craft breweries spread out across this great nation, the options to wet one’s craft beer whistle in this country seem to be endless. The United States of America, the epitome of freedom, the land of “milk and honey,” or in the case of this article, the land of milk, honey, hops, grain, yeast, water, rice, fruit and whatever other ingredients or adjuncts a brewer wants to use to make craft beer.
