From Maine, With Love #27 Release

By

This take on a beer spritz was inspired by the Spaghett cocktail, which typically features lemon and Aperol—a bitter orange-flavored Italian botanical aperitif—added to a light lager. Our version is brewed with a range of bittering botanicals, including rhubarb, red cinchona, angelica root, and gentian root. We add lemon and orange zest for a citrusy pop before fermenting it with a Belgian lager strain. Deliciously drinkable and refreshingly complex, this one pairs perfectly with springtime. Available on draft and to-go in 4-packs of 16oz cans, only at the brewery.

From Maine, with Love #22 release

By

Join us for the release of this special entry into our series of small-batch, brewery-only beers. From Maine, With Love #22 is a spontaneously fermented ale aged on grape pomace.

After a night of gathering wild yeast in our coolship—a large, open steel vessel—and then aging in oak barrels for up to three years, we rest this beer on grape pomace. The pomace is made up of the skins, stems, and seeds of La Crescent grapes that have already been pressed by winemakers. The result is a multi-faceted beer, filled with notes of apricot and oak, a hint of funk, and an enticingly vinous quality from the grapes. It will only be available at the brewery on draft and to-go in 1.5L large-format bottles.

Confluence release

By

Allagash Confluence is a strong golden ale that benefits from mixed fermentation and dry hopping techniques. Brewed with a blend of imported and domestic Pilsner malt, as well as a small portion of caramel malt, Confluence boasts a complex malty profile. Both our house yeast strain and our proprietary Brettanomyces yeast strain are used in fermentation. This layered approach creates a unique blend of fruit and spice flavors along with an incredibly silky mouthfeel. After fermentation, Confluence undergoes a lengthy aging process in stainless steel that allows its complex flavors to fully develop. Just prior to bottling, it is dry hopped with Glacier hops, providing a pleasant, fruity aroma. This beer will be available both on draft and in 750mL bottles to go.

Ghoulschip release

By

Our favorite Halloween tradition is brewing Ghoulschip with fresh, local pumpkins, molasses, and raw pumpkin seeds. On All Hallows’ Eve itself, we send the beer to rest among the specters in our Coolship, where it collects wild microflora from the chill Maine air. The beer then ferments in a stainless tank on our house yeast before heading into oak barrels, where it sits in waiting for up to three years.

Although Ghoulschip isn’t spontaneously fermented, we rely on natural microflora to sour it. The finished product is a blend of one-, two-, and three-year-old beer. In the first sip, caramelized malt and a mild acidity balance Ghoulschip’s subtle earthiness. The finish of this light golden beer is dry and tart. Boo! We’ll be releasing this beer in 375mL bottles.

 

Please note: As with every beer release, the date is subject to change depending on the outcome of our quality control process.

Triple release: Two Lights/Coolship Cerise/Coolship Cerise Estate

By

Join us for a release of three beers, including a beer we’ve never released until now:

Two Lights is an ode to two of the more refreshing drinks of summer: cold beer and sparkling wine. While brewing this beer, we add sauvignon blanc must—the freshly pressed juice of the grapes. Then we ferment it with both lager and champagne yeast to create a tart, crisp, and dry profile. The finished beer’s aromas of pear, grape, and light hops pair with a flavor profile that’s a mix of tropical fruit and the snappy spritz of a freshly picked grape. We suggest sipping Two Lights by a water source too large to see across. Available in 4-packs of 16oz cans.

Coolship Cerise’s tart, dry profile is rounded out by notes of fresh-picked cherry, pie spice, oak, and a hint of apricot. To make this beer, we fill our coolship—a large, shallow pan-like brewing vessel—with unfermented wort that gathers wild yeast as it cools. The beer then ferments and develops its flavor in oak wine barrels for up to two years before we add 100 pounds, per barrel, of locally grown Montmorency and Balaton cherries. We hope you enjoy this balanced, crisp, and complex taste of Maine. Available in 375mL bottles.

Coolship Cerise Estate is aged on Montmorency and North Star cherries sourced exclusively from our very own orchard behind the brewery. The beer is pale red in color with cherry and spice in the aroma. Cherry, oak and spice punctuate the flavor. A dry finish rounds out this tart and delightfully complex beer. Available in 375mL bottles.

Please note that the release date of these beers is subject to change depending on the results of our quality control process.

lager saison blend in a can

Moselle/Turmeric Saison Release

By

Join us for the release of two beers on Thursday, 9/17.

Moselle is a crisp, golden lager with a hint of saison aroma. In making Moselle, we brew two different beers, a lager and a saison, and then blend them together. Moselle leads with classic lager flavor while the saison portion adds a tropical note to the beer’s dry profile.

Turmeric has a long history of culinary use, so we decided to try it in one of our beers; we call it Turmeric Saison. We’re glad we did. The earthy and unique flavor of whole turmeric root, alongside the bit of pepper that we add during brewing, gives a lightly spicy quality to this fruity and aromatic certified organic Saison.

Both of these beers will be available in 16oz 4-pack cans.

Allagash stout

Haunted House/North Sky release

By

Two dark, roasty beers coming your way!

Haunted House: Doomed by a love of pitch-black Porters and our Allagash House Beer, we summoned the recipe for Haunted House. Roasted Barley and Blackprinz malt curse this beer with a gravely dark hue. Hopped with Crystal, Chinook, and Saaz hops, this beer ends with a ghost of coffee-flavored bitterness and hauntingly complex malty palate.

North Sky: Like a clear night lit by stars, this silky Belgian-inspired stout balances light notes of fruit and sweetness with roasty malt. Inspired by late evenings spent around a crackling campfire, North Sky is brewed to merge lightness and darkness into a super-sippable stout.

Both of these beers will be available in 16oz 4-pack cans at the brewery.

Shiro’s Delight release

By

The combination of a plum and a cherry is called a “Pluerry.” The combination of a plum and a Pluerry inside a mixed-fermented beer is called “Shiro’s Delight.” This ruby beer’s base is fermented with two yeast strains: a saison strain and then our house strain of Brettanomyces. After about eight months of fermentation and aging, Pluerries and plums are added before the beer rests for another four months. The finished beer has a flavor that calls to mind a mixture of tart cherry, plum, and tropical fruit with hints of spice and oak. Join us for the release in the brewery on 8/28!

Sour allagash Beer and peaches

Farm to Face Release

By

Another fan favorite is back. Drinking this tasty sour beer is like biting into a juicy, yet tart, peach. Farm to Face is brewed as a pale ale and then fermented for ten months in stainless tanks with house yeast. After primary fermentation, Pediococcus, Lactobacillus, and a whole lot of peaches are added. Aromas of green apple and graham cracker accompany a lingering peachy finish.

Two Lights Release

By

The return of one of our most beloved summer beers…Two Lights, an ode to two of the more refreshing drinks of summer: cold beer and sparkling wine. While brewing this beer, we add sauvignon blanc must—the freshly pressed juice of the grapes. Then we ferment it with both lager and champagne yeast to create a tart, crisp, and dry profile. The finished beer’s aromas of pear, grape, and light hops pair with a flavor profile that’s a mix of tropical fruit and the snappy spritz of a freshly picked grape.

Double Release: Saison Violette/Little Sal

By

Saison Violette and Little Sal, both blueberry beers, release Friday (7/17) at the brewery. In Saison Violette, subtle blueberry notes balance out this farmhouse-style ale. Our goal is to help you find a taste of Maine wherever you happen to enjoy it.

To make Little Sal, we add wild, lowbush blueberries to sour red barrel-aged ale. The resulting beer is dark violet in color with earthy aromas of blueberry and oak. Its flavor is juicy, tart, and unmistakably blueberry: a true taste of our home state.
