Day's End - Allagash Brewing Company

Day’s End

Settle in for sunset with this rich red ale inspired by a cocktail known as the “Boulevardier.” We brew this beer with Lambrusco grape must, angelica root, and orange peel before aging it in bourbon barrels for two months—resulting in balanced notes of vanilla, red wine, oak, and caramel. Cheers to another day well spent.

What is Wort?

To answer the question technically, wort is a liquid solution of extracted grains, a sugar source which brewers create and then ultimately feed to beer yeasts. Non-technically, wort is sugary grain water.

Barrel Aging: The Vessel as an Ingredient

“Selecting a barrel is as much a part of the brewing process as hop selection, malt selection, or yeast,” says our Brewmaster, Jason Perkins. “It’s another opportunity to add unique flavors.”

What is a Pilot System?

When it comes to innovating new beer, we rely on every single person that works at Allagash. It doesn’t matter if they’ve been at the company for ten days or ten years. That’s how our pilot system works: anyone at our brewery with an idea can propose the next big Allagash beer.

Allagash bailer for the recycling program

The Allagash Recycling Co-Op

At Allagash, we’re able to recycle or sidestream about 99.8% of our waste. That last .2% is something we’re trying to address with the Allagash Recycling Co-op that we launched in March of 2021.
