About the show

We’re lucky here at Allagash Brewing to be surrounded by interesting people who love what they do. So we wanted to share a little slice of our brewery life, and the work of our nonprofit partners, by getting together to talk about things we’re passionate about. Our goal is to give you insight into what it's like to work and live here in Portland, Maine, with some beer thrown in for fun. Thanks for listening!

S5 Episode 1: 2 Million Pounds Later

Send us Fan MailIn this season opener of From Maine with Love, we’re sharing a milestone that’s been years in the making: in 2025, we brewed with more than 2 million pounds of Maine-grown and processed grain. What started back in 2015 as a conversation about barley—at a time when most Maine farmers were focused on potatoes—has grown into a statewide network of farmers, maltsters, and brewers all pulling in the same direction. We look back at the early trials, the first recipe tweaks, and the steady climb from tens of thousands of pounds to well over a million, fueled by partnerships that feel more like friendships.Along the way, Brewmaster Jason Perkins and Senior Technical Brewer Branch Rothschild share stories from the fields and malt houses that make this possible. You'll learn how local grain affects Maine’s economy, our carbon footprint, and for the future of New England beer.
