Black

Technically, there is no such thing as a traditional Belgian stout, but we went ahead and made one anyway. In creating the beer, we took the aspects we loved in Belgian beers and used them to craft a stout. We brew Allagash Black with 2-row barley, torrified wheat, oats, roasted barley, chocolate malt, black malt and hop with Northern Brewer and Glacier. A generous portion of dark caramelized candi sugar produces a hint of raisin in the finished beer. The addition of oats lends Black a silky mouthfeel, which is enhanced by rich flavors of coffee and dark chocolate.

Celebrating Sustainability at Allagash

Earth Month is officially here. To kick off Spring Greening—our brewery’s springtime spotlight on sustainability—we invited just under twenty like-minded organizations to the brewery.

Allagash Cookie Contesteux – Cookies and Allagash Black

To solve the mystery of which cookie pairs perfectly with a glass of Allagash Black, we held an employee cookie contesteux. A bunch of us baked our favorite recipes at home, brought them to the brewery, and let the tasting commence!

One Million Pounds of Maine-Grown Grain

In the brewing business, buying locally often isn’t feasible. In Maine, the climate has always been right for growing grain, but the infrastructure just hasn’t been sufficient to meet our needs. Much to our delight, we’ve recently seen a steady and substantial increase in the amount Maine-grown and malted grains.
