Mattina Rossa is coming.
 We are excited to announce the long awaited release of Mattina Rossa. This beer started in the brain of brewer Greg Devito. He wanted a refreshing, delicious beer brewed with raspberries. It was brewed in August of 2008 with 440 lbs of local raspberries in the mash, and has since been aging in oak with raspberries(and funk) in the barrels. The resulting beer is tart, fruity and yummy. Mattina Rossa weighs in at 6.9% ABV giving it a subtle warming character.
The original name of the beer was Red Dawn, to celebrate Greg's love of Patrick Swayze. The name has since been changed to not only embrace that love but celebrate Greg's Italian roots.
This beer will be a very limited release. It will be available in December in our new brown 375mL package. This one won't be around long so, act fast.

Space. The needed frontier.
In early October, we broke ground on our 5,000 square foot addition. The new space will be used primarily as a packaging area upon completion, and so we can make room for the six additional fermenters that we just ordered. We are hoping to have the addition complete by late December and completely functioning by the end of January.
It's time to heed the call.....More beer. More beer.

Meet our people. 
Every newsletter, we will introduce you to one of our awesome employees.
This is Sam. Sam has been with Allagash for about two and a half years. He works in production, doing everything from brewing, to bottling, kegging, filtering and playing angry music. Sam came to Allagash from the Harpoon brewery in Boston. He recently brewed a beer on the pilot system that is affectionately known as "The Dirty Samchez". It is as refreshing, as it is hideous (think greenish bile color). It is a work in progress.
Most interesting thing about him: He bakes better than anyone you know.
Thing he doesn't want you to know: He's not really angry. |

Allagash Black is #1!
Wine Enthusiast Magazine just named Allagash Black the #1 beer of 2010 in their annual "Best of the Year" issue.
Black is our Belgian style stout brewed using 2 row barley, torrified wheat, chocolate and roasted malts, oats and dark candy syrup. The silky mouthfeel is a great balance to the roasted character, coffee and dark chocolate notes expressed throughout this beer.
Allagash Black is available year round and is a great addition to any meal or to warm you up on a cold fall evening.
7.5% ABV
