From Maine, With Love - An Allagash Brewing Podcast

Sports! Get your sports, here! We've got baseball. We've got soccer. We've got surfing and more!

Jokes aside, we're experiencing a sports revolution here at Allagash, with becoming an Official Partner of the New York Mets, a sponsor of the Portland Sea Dogs, as well as Beer Sponsor of the Hearts of Pine soccer team here in Portland.

If you want to hear all about these exciting, impactful partnerships, this is your podcast. Oh, and we break down some other fun things happening around the brewery, just because.

As always, thanks for listening!

Thrills. Laughs. And spine-tingling tales. In honor of Haunted House, our seasonal-favorite dark hoppy ale, we're recounting some real spooky stories to pair with the beer's haunting notes of cocoa, coffee, and devilish hint of hops. Sit back in your creakiest chair, crack open a Haunted House, and enjoy these personal spooky stories from Allagash staff, as well as historically creepy tales from all over Maine.

In this one, we interview three members of the Allagash Pink Boots + team: Hannah, Katie, and Leah. You’ll hear how the Pink Boots society empowers and educates women and non-binary people in the fermented beverage industry, the details of our newly released Pink Boots black IPA, plus the definition of “Aroma Dome.”

It's our 30th Anniversary as a brewery and our 4th Anniversary as a podcast. So we're celebrating both with Allagash Founder Rob Tod, and Allagash Brewmaster Jason Perkins.

That's right! It has been 30 years since Rob started Allagash Brewing Company in the corner of a warehouse on Industrial Way. And we're taking a refurbished Vermont Gas Company van-ride down memory lane to talk about the origins of Allagash White, the early days of the brewery, long hours, hard work, and fun that was had. So crack an Allagash White (we did) and enjoy this exploration of the origins of Allagash Brewing Company.

In which we talk about secret ingredients and techniques for the perfect chocolate chip cookie, the broad strokes of a decadent béchamel, and what it's like to sell craft beer. Seriously, we had so much fun recording this episode with Suzy and Mike of our sales team, talking through basically everything you'd want to know about selling craft beer. How does beer selling work? What's the Allagash selling philosophy? And, most importantly, what are those cookie secrets?!
