From Maine, With Love - An Allagash Brewing Podcast

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.

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.

S3 Episode 10: Ski House Party

You love it, you really love it. We’re talking about Ski House, our big Belgian-style white beer brewed with ginger—the main subject of our most recent episode. And we're focusing on it because you all have been enjoying this beer so much, we've had to brew way more than we originally planned. Cool!
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 version of the beer. Plus, hear more about our upcoming events, and a very cool concert featuring Maine’s own Julia Gagnon, here at the brewery.

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.
