History[edit | edit source]

Allagash Brewing Company was established in 1995 by Rob Tod, who had a passion for Belgian-style beers. Inspired by his travels in Belgium, Tod aimed to bring the unique flavors and brewing techniques of Belgian beer to the United States. He started the brewery with a small 15-barrel brewhouse and initially focused on producing a single beer, the Allagash White.

The Allagash White, a Belgian-style wheat beer, quickly gained popularity and became the flagship beer of the brewery. Its success allowed Allagash to expand its production and introduce a wider range of beers, including limited-edition and barrel-aged brews.

Over the years, Allagash Brewing Company has received numerous awards and accolades for its beers. The brewery has been recognized for its commitment to quality and craftsmanship, as well as its dedication to sustainability and community involvement.
