Our 2013 Anniversary beer is collaboration amongst friends, Allagash and in’finiti fermentation & distillation. Given our focus on hoppy American ales and Allagash and in’finiti’s focus on Belgian-inspired ales, we thought it only natural to blend the two styles. The result is what you might call a hoppy Belgo-American Pale Ale. 2013 is actually a blend of two separate fermentations, one, with our American ale yeast and one with Belgian yeast (Allagash house strain and a Trappist strain preferred by in’finiti). The “American” version was dry hopped with Falconer’s Flight and the “Belgian” version with Saaz. Both were then blended together to taste. The result, a hoppy pale ale with notes of both citrus (American hops) and spice (Belgian yeast and continental hops).
