On April 19, 2008, at the Craft Brewers Conference in San Diego, CA, Allagash was awarded three medals in the World Beer Cup.
Allagash Dubbel was awarded the Gold Medal in the Belgian-style Dubbel category.
Allagash Tripel was awarded the Silver Medal in the Belgian-style Tripel category.
Allagash Curieux was awarded the Bronze Medal in the wood and barrel-aged strong beer category.
The Brewer’s Association World Beer Cup is held every two years and is the only international competition that awards just three medals for each category. This year Allagash was competing against 2,864 beers representing 644 breweries from 58 different countries! Allagash was one of only 17 breweries to wine three or more medals.
A hearty congratulations to Rob Tod and the crew at Allagash. I’ll be toasting to them tonight (with an Allagash beer, of course)!
