Gummi Bear Beer Update

If you've been following the Gummi Bear Belgian Tripel that was brewed by Kenai River Brewing Co., you should know that it was released (draft only) last Friday at the brewery. Kenai River's owner, Doug Hogue said in an email that the beer has been quite the successful seller as the entire batch is almost kaput only after six days.

Hogue also said that due to the beer's immediate success that the brewery is hoping to make another batch for its fall line-up as well as canning it. A lot of us here in the lower-48 don't really have the chance to try this beer unless you actually visit the brewery in Alaska. I'm sure the canning of it will greatly improve your chances of one day trying it.

Kenai cans two other beers: Sunken Island IPA (6.8 percent ABV) and Skilak Scottish Ale (5.8 percent ABV).

There's also a good chance I can end up with a very small batch of the Gummi Bear beer. Let's keep our fingers crossed. I'm interested in trying it for myself and sharing my thoughts on it.
