About This Beer

For Bind, the Anchorage crew started with a Mixed Culture Ale before aging it in Missouri oak foeders. Then they finished it on handpicked Alaskan blueberries and haskap berries — a wild-harvested fruit that only grows in the furthest reaches of the Northern Hemisphere.

Tasting Notes

Some say haskap berries taste like a hybrid of blueberry, strawberry, and blackberry, meaning the crew at Anchorage gets unparalleled depth of flavor with just one addition. Paired with blueberries, and swirls of mellow, jammy fruit play foil to the bright, citrusy tang of the Wild Ale base. Berry lemonade nuances lead to delicate vanilla oak on the finish.

Nice wild ale. Very well balanced. Tart and fruity without being overly acidic.

Aroma is filled w/berries & red grapes w/touch of funkiness. Tons of blackberries & blueberries in taste. Some plums as well. A funky acidity precedes a dry, tannic finish.

Haskap berries?! WTF. Pretty sure I taste them strongly… This is on point. Never had them before and there are also wild Alaskan blueberries, apprently. Well done to the masters in/at in/at Anchorage! This strong berry flavor is up there with the best!

A pleasant wild ale with an almost gooseberry-like tartness and mild funk. The wood character hides behind the dryness of the finish. Nice carbonation and mouthfeel Ron’s out the experience.
