Award-winning Allagash of Portland, Maine, has earned a spot on Fast Company’s Brands that Matter for 2024 — a coveted list that honors companies making a meaningful impact with their brands. Allagash was honored this year in the Enduring Impact category, recognizing brands that are “continuing to innovate and have kept consumers interested for more than 15 years.”
“We’re equally proud of our beer and our work with communities in Maine and beyond,” said Rob Tod, Founder, Allagash Brewing. “This year’s recognition feels especially significant as we approach our 30th anniversary in 2025. It speaks to our brewery’s continued relevance and impact. It’s another sign that giving back, standing by our core values, and taking a thoughtful approach to growth have been the right moves for us as a brewery.”
