Allagash


Allagash Brewing: http://www.allagash.com

Their white is available pretty much everywhere in the northeast, and it’s not bad, but they had some exceptional brews at the fest.

11th Anniversary amazing beer brewed with champagne yeast. This was one of my favorites of the fest. Very flavorful with high drinkability.

Curieux Allagash Tripel aged in Jim Beam barrels. I can’t remember whether this one or the Musette (Scotch style in bourbon barrels) was better. I do remember, however, that the Weyerbacher beers aged in bourbon barrels achieved subtle liquor notes much more effectively. While the Allagashes were tasty, the bourbon almost overpowered the beer.
