It will come as no surprise that Allagash’s artisan beers have gained a reputation for being high quality
with a nuanced structural complexity and flavor, but they are also recognized for being uniquely suited
to pairing with fine food. This seminal cookbook offers home chefs an unparalleled opportunity to
work with recipes designed for ten of Allagash’s most celebrated creations. With award-winning dishes
created for these beers over the years, Chef James Simpkins has created a culinary tour of the United
States, showing off the versatility and wide gastronomic range of each beer. Tantalizing imagery, created
for Allagash: The Cookbook by noted photographer Brian Smestad, complements each selection and
creates an unequaled visual ambience.
Whether eating fresh lobster near the brewery’s New England headquarters, crab cakes in the Carolinas,
or a thin-crust vegetable-laden pizza in the West Coast style, readers everywhere will be able to experience
in their own kitchens just how well these beers pair with the emblematic regional foods that make up our
inimitable American cuisine.

Two Minneapolis Brewers Embattled in Trademark Dispute
Two Minneapolis, Minn., craft brewers have found themselves ensnared in a trademark dispute. Northbound Smokehouse & Brewpub has reportedly issued cease and desist letters to Northgate Brewing, claiming their name is too similar and is causing confusion for local beer drinkers. Northbound, a brewpub that opened this September, had been communicating the issue with Northgate, a production brewery slated to open in December, since the summer. Northbound had allegedly asked Northgate Brewing to remove the words North and Brewing from their name, which Northgate thought was excessive. The two never reached a mutual agreement. Northgate cofounder Adam Sjogren believes this level of legality is unwarranted, considering the size of their respective operations. In a Northgate blog post (that has since been removed), Sjogren wrote, In a market where the biggest craft brewers dont produce as much as Budweiser spills, I think its shameful that a small brewpub is trying to litigate like a big-timer. Northbound co-owners Jamie Robinson, Bryce Strickler and Amy Johnson replied with their own statement, explaining, We have an obligation to protect our trademark, otherwise wed lose it. We have only asked that the owners of the yet-to-be-opened Northgate Brewing tweak their name to reduce the number of instances of confusion that have already happened. Both sides want an amicable end to this dispute. The two companies have since pledged to keep the matter between themselves, and not discuss it any further with the media.

SHELF TALKER BY COURTNEY COX
Allagash: The Cookbook
By James Simpkins Blue Tree LLC, October 2012, $35 Just the title should be enough to get you clearing space on your bookshelf. Recipes are inspired by US regional cuisines and listed as such, though chapters are based on each Allagash beer, with proles of each style by chef and author James Simpkins. Simpkins also crafted the recipes, which include (among many others): Venison Tenderloin with Spiced Cranberry Relish (with Interlude); Slow-Roast Duck with Blackberry Gastrique (Coolship); and Chicken Plantain Roulades (Tripel). In his foreword, Jean Van Roy of Cantillon discusses the Belgian tradition of cooking with beer, and an introduction from Rob Tod explains how, when the brewery launched and consumers were wary of those crazy Belgian styles, pairing Allagash beers with food helped consumers appreciate the new avors. Tod may not need to serve Maine oysters to get folks to drink a Coolship anymore, but who are we to break tradition?
