Anchorage, AK has always been a wonderful beer destination, but on my last visit to Fairbanks, there was little in the way of craft beer. Enter Bobby Wilken & Hoo Doo Brewing Co. Details from AnchorageDailyNews:
Considering his current occupation, you could justify those pints of ale and pilsner as research. Wilken, 32, plans to open the Hoo Doo Brewing Company late this summer, providing a brewery in the city of Fairbanks for the first time in 70 years.
With his experience at Alaskan, Wilken said he finally felt ready to venture off on his own. The result is the Hoo Doo Brewing Company, named after the Hoo Doo Mountains, a popular snow-machining spot he used to frequent.
During the past year, Wilken has transformed a building in the railroad-industrial area that once contained a children's play room into a future brewery. Stainless steel vats and vessels fill the building, surrounded by pallets stacked with 50-pound bags of malt. Full details here.
