Allagash Brewing Company bringing brews to Pittsburgh
This beer will travel from Portland to Pittsburgh.
Allagash Brewing Company, based in Portland, Maine, will begin distributing in Western Pennsylvania.
The brews will be sold through Frank B. Fuhrer Wholesale Co. on Pittsburgh’s South Side starting March 30.
Allagash is a Belgian-inspired brewery and its beers are distributed in 17 states and Washington D.C., according to a news release.
Choices that will be available here are:
Allagash White, a wheat beer, brewed with oats, malted wheat, and unmalted raw wheat for a hazy, “white” appearance and spiced with coriander and Curaçao orange peel.
Allagash Tripel, a golden ale which carries notes of passion fruit and honey in the aroma that is brewed with a 2-row barley blend.
Allagash Curieux, a golden ale aged in bourbon barrels for seven weeks and featuring notes of coconut, vanilla, and a hint of bourbon.
“Pittsburgh has a great and growing beer community,” said Rob Tod, founder of Allagash Brewing Co., a winner of the 2019 James Beard Award for Outstanding Wine, Spirits or Beer Professional. “We’re thrilled to be here. We always look forward to sharing our beer with new people. There are so many amazing beers available in Pittsburgh — we’re excited to be added to the mix.”
