Noted brewery Lagunitas — based in California — brings its non-aloholic hoppy water to the skies. With zero alcohol, carbs, or gluten, it’s as healthy as it is refreshing. Since it’s brewed with hops, it offers a beer-like crispness. Beginning November 20, it’s complimentary in First Class and Premium Class, and available for purchase in the Main Cabin. 

Stumptown Coffee Roasters, from Portland, offers its ready-to-go cocktail in a can, the Straightaway Nitro Espresso Martini. 

Pacific Northwest-based outdoor company, Filson, brings its premium materials and craftsmanship to the First Class cabin with the First Class blanket. A design partnership between Filson and Alaska, the blanket is soft and warm, for a cozy long-haul flight.

Lastly, soaps and lotions by Salt & Stone are available in all onboard restrooms and Alaska Lounges. Made from natural ingredients, each offers upscale self-care.

Todd Traynor-Corey, Managing Director of Guest Products at Alaska Airlines, said: “Our guests value unique, high-quality experiences, and these new products allow us to elevate their journey while bringing a bit of regional pride to every flight. Partnering with Lagunitas, Filson, Salt & Stone and other West Coast companies is reflective of our commitment to support local brands and provide the ultimate premium guest experience.”
