Recipe: Allagash White

Originally inspired by the white beers of Pierre Celis, Allagash White has risen to become a widely recognized pillar of American craft as well as one of the most awarded beers in the genre—with a combined 14 Great American Beer Festival and World Beer Cup medals over the years.

Note that besides the coriander and orange peel listed here, Allagash has always added a pinch of another spice to the whirlpool—but that spice is a secret. Online speculation among brewers and fans over the years has included chamomile, pepper, cumin, and cardamom. Feel free to experiment, or to leave it out altogether.
