You’ll have to visit Common Ground Alaska Farmstead to check out this flavor. It’s going to turn out great. Hopefully we’ll be able to carry it next year.

PLEASE share this post to help us get the word out. To incentivize sharing, we will pick one person at random on Sunday the 7th who shares this post to win 4 free pints. This Sunday June 7th will be the last day we are open at the Clocktower. Starting Monday June 8th we will be shut down while we move our operations to our new location Wasilla at the Sun Mountain shopping center. We are planning to open Sun Mountain on June 18th. Stay tuned for more information on a grand opening celebration.

Monday 06/08 Update: Thank you all who shared! You all did great getting the word out. We had such a large response we chose two people to win 4 free pints. Congratulations to Glenda Ledford and Mary Storrs. They have been contacted and will hopefully be picking up soon.
