The four main ingredients in beer are malt, water, yeast, and hops. And though many people get excited about hoppy beers, many might not understand what exactly a hop is. 

What is the difference between dry hopping or wet hopping a beer? Luckily, the answer is relatively straightforward.

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.

In between every stack of 750 mL glass bottles is a hard sheet of blue plastic. As soon as it’s pulled from between those layers, this blue sheet becomes waste (to us as a brewery). Unless, that is, we find someone else who has a good use for that big sheet.
