"If your go-to drink is an Allagash White, you’re definitely not alone. Officially THE most popular beer at City Tap’s across Philadelphia and D.C. and winner of countless awards, Allagash White has a rapidly growing group of admirers spreading from coast to coast.

Known for its refreshing, yet flavorful profile, Allagash White is an American take on a Belgium Witbier (“White Beer”) with a strong essence of curaçao orange peel and coriander. From start to finish, drinking Allagash White is an incredibly pleasant experience even if you are not a beer lover. It’s as drinkable as a corona lime with an even bolder fruit and spice profile. Next time you are out, order an Allagash White.
