From the record
Summary
Status: CLOSED. Historical Fairbanks brewery proven by UAA archival photographs labeled Pioneer Brewing Company and an Alaska Anthropological Association research abstract. Lifecycle remains contradictory: the anthropology abstract gives 1934-1937, while HooDoo first-party heritage reporting says Pioneer existed 1935-1942. Exact opening/closure therefore remain UNKNOWN pending primary licensing/newspaper records. [Alaska Pass 20]
