    S3 Episode 3: Behind the Scenes with Tours and Tastings

    What happens at a tour or tasting here at Allagash? Much more than you might have guessed. We've got samples of deep-stash beers able to age beautifully for ten-plus years. We have pours fresh out of the barrel (shhh, don't tell). And we have passionate and extremely knowledgable people like Lindsay Bohanske, this episode's guest, to guide you through it all.
    Come for a behind-the-scenes look into our tour, food-pairing, and tasting program. Stay for a brief explanation on the origin of agrarian societies.

    S3 Episode 2: Deep Dive into Berry Wine

    You in the mood to geek out on wine making? Well, you better be if you're here to listen to the second episode of the third season of our podcast.

    S3 Episode 1: Collabs, Seasonals, and Wine, Oh My!

    S3 Episode 1: Collabs, Seasonals, and Wine, Oh My!

    In the triumphant return of From Maine, With Love for Season 3, we dive into something all listeners of this podcast can appreciate: beer.

    First, we chat through two collaborations with Black-owned breweries: Cur-8 and Verb. Then, we dip into the details of our very first "seasonal" beer by having a brewery-side chat with Joe Jr., the brewer who came up with the beer's recipe. And we end by talking about our brand new, absolutely delicious house-made blueberry wine (and another secret blend you'll have to listen to the pod to hear about).

    If that doesn't sound interesting to you, please go on with your life in peace and happiness forevermore. If it does, give it a listen.

    Thanks, as always, for your support!

    S2 Episode 9: Diving Deep on Company Culture

    In this episode, we're joined by Allagash HR Director Celine Frueh to get into the nitty gritty of building positive company culture. This was a fascinating conversation that touches on all sorts of topics like: how we use a yearly employee survey to figure out the biggest spots for growth, how to preserve the things people love as the company grows, and the business case for giving employees a sabbatical. If you have even a passing interest in the ins and outs of good workplace vibes, this one is for you.

    S2 Episode 8: Partnering with Portland Trails

    Did you know: there’s a trail head within 10 minutes of every home in Portland, Maine? That’s thanks to the great work our friends at Portland Trails have been doing to make our city more accessible and connected through outdoor space. And we’re committed to a 3-year, $30,000 partnership, called Healthier Neighborhoods for All. Its goal is to help Portland Trails reach more of Portland’s immigrant community to help them experience the benefits of their extensive trail system.

    S2 Episode 7: Homebrewing Q&A with the Experts

    We have a bevy of homebrewers at Allagash, so when a fan suggested we host a homebrewing Q&A, we did!

    In this podcast, we're joined by three seasoned, professional brewers in Patrick Chavanelle, Katie Beaucage, and Corey McNutt. In it, we take fans' online questions and basically break them out into novice, intermediate, and expert-level questions. The best part? We suspect you'll learn quite a bit along the way, no matter your level.

    So come along and hear all about homebrewing.
