I heard of it on Alaska Ale's website...

True/False?

No the question is, how do you keep it lit?

I've had the smoker porter from the Alaskan Brewery. I don't care to
drink it, but I like to cook with it. I reduce it to a syrup and then
use in marinades or dressings. They only make it seasonally, but it is
actually really popular.

I think it is very nice. It's from Bamberg Germany. But I have had
some say they didn't care for it as they were more into the Pils

I'm not sure what you mean by "Skunk"?
Anyway, smoked beer is great. At least the
Bavarian one I had once was wonderful.
Can't think of the name of it right now.
The concept is a little hard to get your mind
around but that didn't stop me from enjoying it.

Skunk means when the beer goes bad, from being kept too long.

Apparently, you can lay smoked beer down like fine wine, and keep it for
years at room temperature.

ps. where'd you find the Bavarian one?

Well, it may eventually go bad, but I've had beer in my fridge
for several years and it tasted fine. Recently however I had
some that was probably 4-5 years old and it had a nasty sediment
and didn't taste too good. Had to throw it out. It wasn't
flat, though.
