History
2
LeRoy Tozier was a brilliant early attorney in Fairbanks and a beloved, well-known character of both the Klondike and Alaska. Among his many accomplishments, he was elected the first president of Igloo No. 4 of the Pioneers of Alaska in November 1909. During Prohibition, when men had to make their own libations to get around Alaska's Bone Dry Law, a beer recipe associated with Tozier and Men's Igloo No. 4 called for boiling five gallons of water with hops and cracked corn, rice, or wheat, then adding brown sugar and malt syrup, cooling the mixture, stirring in Fleishman's Yeast dissolved in lukewarm water, skimming it frequently, adding Knox's Gelatin shortly before fermentation stopped, and bottling it to stand for two weeks.
