One of the better things AS consistently provides with its lounge product is good beer. What have you found unique and where?
It does seem AS has Alaskan Amber everywhere.
1/27/18 ANC AL: Oatmeal Stout from Kenai River.
1/28/18 SEA C AL: Octopus Ink IPA

I believe that should be FROM Airways, a local brewery based in Kent, WA opened by a former Alaska employee. Jumbo Juice is their New England-style IPA which I'm guessing is what you've had in the Lounge.

One of the reasons I go to the North Satellite lounge is Manny's Pale Ale - per my tastes it is just about the perfect Pale Ale. Manny's is also the ale of choice down at the SEA Amex Centurion Lounge.

Neat (and cool backstory)! This may justify walking to the C lounge on my next visit.

Yep, that sounds right to me. they should replace the Alaskan Icy Bay IPA with this beer in flight. No chance, I realize.

I went ahead and updated the Wiki post with what's in the thread plus my visit to LAX. Thanks for setting that up beckoa (I assume that was you!)
Just edit the top post as things change and hopefully we'll keep this reasonably up to date.
Cheers!

I was in PDX two weeks ago and enjoyed an Alaskan Amber.
One of the things I really appreciate having changed my membership this year from United Club to Alaska Lounge is the nice selection of complimentary premium beers. At United Club only one or two brands of beer were complimentary, and those were beers along the lines of Coors Light. Anything "premium" (and their definition of premium was pretty broad) cost extra.
