Allagash Founder, Rob Tod, and Head Brewer, Jason Perkins flew out to Bend to meet Veronica and our Bend Pub Head Brewer, Robin Johnson, to create a test batch of “Sparkling Pale.” This beer uses Pilsner malts from Mecca Grade Estate Malt from Madras, Oregon, and Pale 2-row malts from Buck Farms in Mapleton, Maine. In addition, we’re adding dried Crystal, Cascade and Sterling Hops from Oregon and a rustic farmhouse yeast strain for a light bodied, delicate malt forward beer. Veronica adds, “it’s gonna be bubbly!”
