Pictavia

Scotch Ale aged in Scotch Barrels

Pictavia (the former name of Scotland) has sweet honey and caramel notes balanced by oak and a light tart bitterness. It’s brewed with Special B, Munich, pale, and Caramel malt in addition to roasted barley and our two row blend. It’s then hopped exclusively with Northern Brewer. After fermenting on an abbey-style yeast, we age it in scotch barrels—that first held port, before scotch—for around four months.

Barrel-Aged Beers

We think of barrels as more of an ingredient than a vessel. Using different barrels, you can add notes of spirits, oak, vanilla, toasted coconut, and more. They’re also used for aging our wild and sour beers. If you’d like to explore all of our currently available beers that spent time in barrels, click below!

Pilot Teamwork

When it comes to innovating new beer, we rely on every single person that works at Allagash. 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 potentially create the next big Allagash beer.
