2021 Brewfest Thanks

The Rotary Club of Juneau wishes to soundly thank all those businesses and individuals who made this year’s 9th Capital Brewfest on September 25 a success. This popular event, which raises significant funds for Rotary-sponsored community projects, is only possible with solid community support. Our sponsors this year included CHARR, the Juneau Radio Center, the KTOO stations, Ramada, Wostmann & Associates, True North Federal Credit Union, and Elgee Rehfeld. Very special thanks go to Norwegian Cruise Lines and Tracy LaBarge at Tracy’s King Crab Shack. A hearty cheers to the participating brewers and distributors, without whom the event could not take place: Alaska Ciderworks & Meadery, Alaskan Brewing Co., Barnaby Brewing, Bearpaw River Brewing, Denali Brewing Co., Devil’s Club Brewing, Double Shovel Cider Co., Forbidden Peak Brewing, Harbor Mountain Brewing, King Street Brewing, K&L Distributors, Midnight Sun Brewing Co. Two Seasons Meadery, and Valdez Brewing Co. The event received additional in-kind support from Coca-Cola (Odom Corp.), Cruise Line Agencies of Alaska, Juneau Composts!, Western Auto/Grants Plaza, KINY Radio, Mendenhall Auto Center, Northern Light United Church, Taku Smokeries, Tyler Rentals, and Alaska Litho. Thank you to all who worked so hard to make this event a resounding success.
