we just tapped Allagash’s Hugh Malone today! might be one of the only kegs in the city. awesome Belgian-style pale. We got in some more kegs of New Belgium Dandelion Ale & Urthel Hop-It!- also recieved 2 kegs of “Moaten“.  Sweet, check this out.

JUST TAPPED a fresh 6-barrel of Allagash Brewery’s exotic Hugh Malone.
Hugh Malone Ale’s base includes English two-row malt and pale crystal malts, establishing an understated sweetness. To give Hugh Malone its hop character we use generous portions of Simcoe hops at three points in the brewing process. To begin with, we use a technique referred to as first wort hopping, in which Simcoe is added to the sweet wort as it enters the kettle. When the wort comes to a boil in the kettle we add Warrior hops, adding another layer to the bitterness of the beer. Later in the brewing process we steep a large amount of Simcoe in the whirlpool to impart a distinct hop aroma. Finally, during secondary fermentation in our conditioning tanks, we dry hop the beer, which instills a hoppy aroma with notes of pine and grapefruit. This 8.5 % ABV ale has a malty palate and a pronounced bitterness. It has a pleasant dry, hoppy finish.
