Yukon Brewing
Yukon Brewing was founded in Whitehorse in 1997 as Chilkoot Brewing Co. Ltd. by Bob Baxter and Alan Hansen, an idea worked out around a campfire on a canoe trip. For the US market the name changed briefly to Cheechako Brewing, then to Yukon Brewing in 1999. The brewery runs a site on Copper Road with a store, a tasting area and tours, and its beers travel beyond the territory into British Columbia and Alberta. A distilling arm added in 2009 produces single malt whisky under the Two Brewers name.

How we measure this
Two thresholds are at work here:
- The signature list shows notes that recur in at least 6% of this brewery's beers. A low bar — enough to flag a pattern, not high enough to call it an exclusive trait.
- The peer comparison below shows only notes where this brewery's coverage differs from similar breweries by at least 20 percentage points. A higher bar — enough to call a real difference, not a nudge.
A note can appear on the signature list without appearing in the peer comparison: it recurs here, but similar breweries do the same thing.
