Brewmaster Rob Tod of the Allagash brewing Co. Beer Dinner
On Sunday, November 15th, as part of The Publican’s yearlong series of beer dinners; The Brew Masters Series, Brewmaster Rob Tod of the Allagash Brewing Company will be joining us for an evening of hand crafted American made Belgian style ale and our cuisine made to match.
Allagash Brewing Company sold its first batch of beer in the summer of 1995. However their story, goes much further back to when in the early 1990’s founder Rob Tod saw something missing in the American beer market. Through his travels, Tod had sampled many of these unique beers and felt that the flavors and traditions of this European nation needed to be shared with the American drinking public. He designed a small 15-barrel brewhouse specifically to embrace the Belgian tradition of beer making, gathered the finest array of authentic raw materials and began his quest towards the production of traditional Belgian style ales.
Allagash began as a one-man operation, with Tod assuming all brewing duties in a small space located in a building on the outskirts of the maritime city of Portland. Allagash began with the release of its Allagash White, modeled after the traditional “White” beers of Belgium. Soon after, two experienced brewers were hired and Allagash released their second brew, Allagash Double Ale.
From the very beginning, Allagash has strived to produce the finest Belgian-style and experimental ales this side of the Atlantic. It began as New England’s original Belgian-Style brewery and has grown into one of the industry’s most distinguished and well-respected brands. Following the time-tested brewing traditions of ancient Belgium, Allagash now produces a broad-ranging portfolio of artisanal beers with uncompromising quality.
The price of food is 45 dollars, beer will be $20.
