The Maine-based Allagash Brewing Company is returning to Ohio after more than 20 years.
Why it matters: Allagash White wields a powerful aura in the craft beer community.
What they're saying: It's "not only the most awarded White Ale in the world, it is the most iconic," says Charlie Steffy, sales director at Premium Beverage Supply, who's distributing Allagash locally.
"As the craft beer industry has gone a bit wild with creative flavors and over-the-top styles, Allagash White is a beacon for those of us who want a true classic."
Zoom in: Allagash White will be available for purchase in 6-packs and 12-packs of 12 oz. cans and will also appear on tap at area bars.
The brewery's big-ABV options, Tripel and Curieux, will also be available, as will the seasonal "House" beers.
💭 Sam's thought bubble: Allagash White is a nostalgic sipper for me. It's been available in the Chicagoland area for nearly a quarter century and was one of the first beers I legally ordered at a bar.
I can't wait to order a pint the first time I see it on draft in Cleveland.
