Allagash – Interview with Rob Tod


VIDEO – During a recent trip up to American Flatbread in Burlington Vermont we got to meet Allagash Brewery owner and brewmaster Rob Tod. Rob hosts an annual beer night at American Flatbread and brought a host of great Allagash brews this year, including a cask of Four, a log of Bi-Curieux and some cellared kegs of Musette and Black (each delicious).

Rob was a great host and gave us a few minutes in the Flatbread brewery for an interview. In the video Rob shares a bit about the history of Allagash brewery, some insight into what’s new in 2010 with Allagash and answers some questions about both the packaging (cork and cage) and the bottle conditioning of their 12oz and kegs.

Our trip also gave us the opportunity to meet Paul Sailor, the owner of American Flatbread, and their brewer Destiny (watch for that interview coming up). We also got to connect with our friends at g.Housen and catch up with some of the Vermont BA folks. The food at American Flatbread is excellent and their beers and their guest beers are always top notch. Another great night, and another fun episode of here for the beer!

Allagash Black


IMAG0112

A Belgian style stout, the Allagash Black is something delightfully different.  It pours black in color (bet you didn’t see that coming) and has a slight light tan head.  Packaging is sleek and sexy (i do love a cork and cage).   Tastes of chocolate, burnt coffee and a clearly Belgian style yeast.  Full flavored and complex with a pleasingly bitter aftertaste.  Goes down smooth and easy.

This is just the way I like my stouts: dark, dry and full bodied.   Hey Allagash, I went black – and it was delicious.
