Allagash Brewing
Allagash Brewing
VERIFIED business since Apr 2015

Allagash Brewing Company was founded by Rob Tod in 1995, as a one man operation. Though Belgian style beers were scarcely heard of in the US at the time, Rob decided to focus his efforts on brewing high quality Belgian inspired beers. The first beer brewed was Allagash White, a spiced wheat beer and now the company flagship. Allagash White has been internationally recognized as one of the finest examples of the style, winning its first Gold Medal in 1998 at the World Beer Cup in Rio de Janeiro. Today, Allagash remains one of the few breweries in the country that is committed to the Belgian tradition, brewing only Belgian inspired beers. Allagash currently produces six year round beers, seven limited annual releases and never ending list of one-off and experimental beers allowing the brewer’s to constantly push the limits and definition of beer. In 2007, Allagash became the first brewery outside of Belgium to brew using a traditional coolship. The beers produced using a coolship are known as “spontaneously fermented” beers because they ferment using only yeast from the air. The Allagash Coolship beers have been very well received both nationally and internationally, culminating in Allagash being the first ever American brewery invited to participate in a Belgian brewers only festival held in Lennik, Belgium. Quality, innovation, passion and being an active community member have all helped propel Allagash to the forefront of the American craft beer scene. Allagash has been featured in numerous national magazines including Gourmet, Bon Appetit, Men’s Journal, GQ, The Wall Street Journal and Saveur. Wine Enthusiast magazine named Allagash Black (Stout) the number one beer in the country for 2010. Allagash has also been recognized repeatedly at The Great American Beer Festival, having won a total of 11 medals since 2002, including 4 gold. Likewise, at the bi-annual World Beer Cup, Allagash has won 10 medals since 1998, including both a gold and silver in 2012.
