Product - Allagash Fluxus
Brewed By: 
Allagash
Self-Defined Style: 
Belgian Rye Ale
Strength (ABV): 
10.0% ABV

Allagash Fluxus is so named because it is the first beer brewed in our new brewery. Fluxus marks the change and growth of Allagash Brewing Company, and our passage from the corner of our original building to a new, state of the art brewery. Brewed with Belgian Pilsner Malt and 25% Rye malt, the beer is full-bodied with a spicy, herbal taste. A floral note arises with the addition of Yarrow, which is a flowering plant that was historically used as an alternative to hops. The 10% abv beer is hopped with Warrior and Brewers Gold which impart a subtle bitterness.

Best With: 
Fluxus is an excellent complement to venison with broccolini, pork belly and chicken liver pate with crudités.

Belgian Strong Ale
Strength (ABV): 
12.0% ABV

Amber, aromatic strong ale... Our vintage-dated, Belgian-style specialty ale, offered in corked 25.4 oz. bottles, is a sensation in subtlety. Heady with a aromatic fruity start and taste, this amber ale features hints of pear and apricot in its well-nuanced flavor. The initial impression of fruitiness concludes in a refreshing dryness that begs you to sip again. Be fore- warned, this ale is immense as it registers 12% abv.

Best With: 
This rich Belgian style ale is best with creamy cheeses, chocolate desserts, or as a digestif.
