(Anchorage, AK) – Here’s the latest from Midnight Sun Brewing‘s newsletter sent out today:

Per the website . . . So far we’ve released 5 of our ten 2010 Pop Ten beers: Free Loader, Gold Digger, White Collar Crime, Tree Hugger and Head Banger.

TODAY we release The New Black, a Belgian Black Bier (lager) aged in oak barrels with black currants and Brettanomyces. It is very wine-like. It’s smooth yet complex if that makes any sense. It is crazy good with layers of incredible flavors.

Available in 22’s and by-the-glass in the Loft. Also available around town: on draft at Humpy’s/SubZero, TapRoot, Cafe A and in 22’s at Spenard Roadhouse, Brown Jug stores, Gold Rush, La Bodega, Value Liquor on Klatt and Grape Expectations downtown.

Mammoth Extra Stout is returning to the taps. If you are a Mammoth hound, drink uP. We’ll be evaluating its seasonal-to-year-round production status based on sales of this first draft-only batch.
