In the episode, you’ll learn more about the beer’s historic origin, the story behind the beer label design, as well as why our birding-enthusiast employees weren’t too happy about a previous vers...

    S3 Episode 8: For the Love of Lager

    With the arrival of Allagash Lager, our easy-drinking, crisp, and refreshing new release, we wanted to go on a trip down lager (memory) lane, to look back at all of the innovative, interesting, and totally unexpected lagers that came before it. We also talk about the development of this lager itself, and how it came down to a very difficult choice between three, very highly rated, lager recipes. Brett is joined by lager aficionado (and R&D Brewer) Corey McNutt and Hospitality Director Emi...

    S3 Episode 4: The #1 Thing to do in Portland, Maine

    We're lucky to be living in a city with a ton, ton, ton, of amazing things to do, eat, see, and experience.
