A few miles north of downtown Sitka, you can beach comb and barbecue at the Halibut Point Recreation Site (locally known as "The Rec"). The park is named after the flat, weird-eyed monster that can grow to nine feet in length and weigh up to 500 pounds. It may be the strangest fish lurking in Alaskan waters, but it lures fisherman from all over the world. We hope our Hefeweisen can do the same. Already cosmopolitan with its German name (hefe meaning yeast) and brewed in the traditional manner (mostly wheat malt), the Hefe is a crowd pleaser. 4.5% ABV

Malts: wheat, two row, vienna, crystal
Hops: nugget, cascade, CTZ
