Production & Heritage

Allagash Brewing Company was founded in Portland, Maine, with a singular focus on Belgian-style ales — a rarity among American craft breweries at the time. The brewery earned Great American Beer Festival Brewery of the Year honors in its category twice, in 2021 and 2023. Many Allagash beers are bottle-conditioned using méthode champenoise, undergoing a second fermentation that builds natural carbonation and complexity. The variety pack highlights four distinct expressions: White is brewed with oats, malted wheat, raw wheat, coriander, and Curaçao orange peel; Tripel follows classic Belgian abbey tradition; the Lager is built on New England-grown malt; and the Hazy IPA leans into contemporary hop-forward brewing.

Tasting Notes

Allagash White: Pale straw-colored and hazy, with a refreshing balance of citrus and spice. Wheat, coriander, and Curaçao orange peel drive the flavor, finishing clean and bright with subtle grain sweetness.

Allagash Tripel: Aromas of passion fruit and honey open into a complex, warming palate. Despite its 9% ABV, the Tripel finishes notably dry, keeping each sip deceptively drinkable. This expression earned Silver at both the World Beer Cup and the Great American Beer Festival, plus Bronze at the European Beer Star Awards and Brussels Beer Challenge in 2024.

Allagash Lager: Built for balance and refreshment, the Lager channels New England-grown malt into a crisp, approachable profile. Expect clean grain character and a snappy finish.

Allagash Hazy IPA: A panorama of juicy and tropical hop notes defines this modern-style IPA. At 6.7% ABV, it carries enough body to support the generous hopping without veering into bitterness.

How to Drink the Allagash Variety Pack

Each of the four beers calls for a slightly different approach. Allagash White shines poured into a tulip glass at around 40–45°F to let the spice and citrus open up. The Tripel benefits from a wider goblet and a few minutes of warming in hand, which coaxes out its honey and fruit aromatics. The Lager and Hazy IPA drink well straight from the can on warm days but reward glassware when you want the full aromatic experience. For cocktail-adjacent serves, the White makes an excellent base for a beer-based shandy with fresh lemon juice, the Tripel pairs well in a Belgian-style michelada, and the Hazy IPA works as a float over a citrus-forward margarita.
