ainebiz: What sustainability
efforts at Allagash are you
most proud of and why?
Rob Tod: I'm really proud of all the
strides our team has made regard-
ing sustainability across the brewery.
Underlying all of that work is the
fact that we've stayed true to our core
values while also formalizing and
documenting specific goals. is has
played out in tangible actions and
results, such as continuing our now
five-year-old Allagash Recycling
Co-op, which has recycled over 250
tons of hard-to-recycle items, and
brewing with more Maine-grown
grain than ever.
