Refreshing Innovation in the Skies

Lagunitas Hoppy Refresher

Alaska is proud to be the first U.S. major airline to serve hoppy water, a non-alcoholic alternative that is becoming increasingly popular among health-conscious and craft beverage enthusiasts alike. Starting Nov. 20, Lagunitas Hoppy Refresher will be complimentary to all First Class and Premium Class guests, and available for purchase in the Main Cabin. Lagunitas Hoppy Refresher is made by the renowned Petaluma-based brewery. The non-alcoholic sparkling water is brewed with hops for a crisp, citrusy twist – perfect for a refreshing sip at 35,000 feet.

 

Straightaway Nitro Espresso Martini

This ready-to-enjoy cocktail is crafted with smooth espresso made by Portland-based Stumptown Coffee Roasters – our coffee partner behind the custom blend announced last year. This classic cocktail adds a dash of sophistication and fits perfectly into the Alaska experience.

 

Heck, we’re jazzed to get up in the air with Alaska Airlines and welcome their flyers into our pack of misfits offering them a crispy, zingy, hoppily refreshing sparkling water to kick back and enjoy throughout their flight.”

Elevate Your Comfort at 35,000 Feet

While sipping on one of our new premium beverages, envelop yourself in Alaska’s new First Class blanket, designed in partnership with Filson — the iconic Pacific Northwest-based outdoor outfitter. Crafted from soft, durable fabrics, the blanket offers comfort and style, ensuring that our First Class guests stay snug on long-haul flights.

 

“Filson is proud to partner with Alaska Airlines, a fellow Seattle-based company, to bring a taste of our outdoor gear to the skies. We designed this First Class blanket with care and attention to ensure passengers experience comfort and style during their journey. Whether you’re headed across the country or your next outdoor adventure, this blanket is made to keep you warm during your journey with Alaska,” said Alex Carleton, chief creative officer at Filson.

Premium Self-Care

To further elevate the travel experience, Alaska is introducing Salt & Stone soap and lotion in all our Alaska Lounges and onboard restrooms. The bright citrus notes of Italian Bergamot, grapefruit and orange blossom awakens your senses while the earthy warmth of vetiver, hinoki and amber grounds and soothes. Known for their natural, high-performance ingredients, Salt & Stone’s products reflect Alaska’s focus on self-care and comfort.

 

Available on Flights Starting this Fall

The Lagunitas Hoppy Refresher and Straightaway Nitro Espresso Martini will be available across our fleet starting Nov. 20. The First Class Filson Blanket will be introduced on select long-haul and coast-to-coast routes starting early December. Salt & Stone products will debut onboard at the beginning of next year.
