Allagash Foliage Report Autumn Ale Coming Back In 2027

Allagash Brewing Company is already looking ahead to fall 2027, and it looks like the Maine brewery has another seasonal beer planned for fans of Belgian-style ales. Meet Allagash Foliage Report Autumn Ale, a returning seasonal release that brings together fall-inspired packaging, traditional Belgian brewing influences, and a fairly substantial 7% ABV.

Yes, we’re talking about autumn beer already.

Coming from Portland, Maine, Allagash Foliage Report is described as a malty, crisp Belgian-style dubbel ale. The beer is expected to arrive in 12-ounce cans, giving Allagash another seasonal option for drinkers who want something a little different from the usual pumpkin ales, Oktoberfest lagers, and heavily spiced fall releases that start appearing as the weather cools.

And the artwork certainly gets the season right. The Foliage Report label features a colorful New England autumn scene, with rolling hills, bright red and orange foliage, golden yellow trees, and a winding road cutting through the countryside. It’s a very recognizable fall look, and the packaging does a nice job connecting the beer to the changing leaves and cooler weather that make autumn in Maine so appealing.

But there’s more going on here than attractive packaging.

According to the label, Allagash Foliage Report Autumn Ale is brewed for people who appreciate the changing seasons and a beer with some traditional Belgian character. The brewery describes it as a malty and crisp Belgian-style dubbel, with tasting notes of toffee, caramel, and classic Belgian fruitiness. That combination should make this a particularly interesting fall beer for drinkers who enjoy richer malt character without necessarily wanting something overly heavy or aggressively sweet.

At 7.0% ABV, Foliage Report sits comfortably in the stronger seasonal ale category. A Belgian dubbel is traditionally built around malt complexity, yeast character, and layers of flavor rather than a big hop presence. Expect the style to bring some depth, with caramelized malt impressions and the fruity character associated with Belgian ale yeast. The exact balance will ultimately depend on the finished beer, but the label gives us a pretty good idea of the direction Allagash is taking.

I also like that Allagash isn’t simply putting another pumpkin beer into the fall lineup. There are plenty of those already. A Belgian-style dubbel with caramel, toffee, and fruity notes gives the brewery a different way to approach the autumn beer season, especially for drinkers who enjoy Belgian-inspired brewing.

The 12-ounce can format should also make Foliage Report easy to share and bring along for a fall gathering. Whether you’re watching the leaves change, enjoying a cool evening outside, or simply looking for something different to put in the refrigerator, this looks like a beer designed around the season rather than just another novelty release.

Allagash has spent decades building its reputation around Belgian-inspired brewing. Founded in 1995, the Portland brewery became widely recognized for Allagash White and eventually expanded into an impressive range of traditional Belgian-style ales, barrel-aged beers, and experimental releases. Foliage Report fits comfortably into that broader brewing identity.

The timing is interesting, too. While we’re still looking at the 2026 fall season, Allagash is already giving us something to watch for in 2027. The brewery has not yet provided a specific fall release date, so we’ll have to wait for more information on when Foliage Report Autumn Ale will reach retailers and tasting rooms.

For now, the details are straightforward: Allagash Foliage Report Autumn Ale, a Belgian-style dubbel, 7.0% ABV, packaged in 12-ounce cans, with a planned fall 2027 return.

A little caramel, a little Belgian fruit, and plenty of autumn color.

Sounds like fall in Maine.

About Allagash Brewing Company

Allagash Brewing Company has become one of the most recognizable names in American craft beer, building its reputation around Belgian-inspired brewing, creative recipes, and a commitment to producing distinctive beers. Located in Portland, Maine, Allagash was founded in 1995 by Rob Tod, who started the brewery with a relatively simple idea: bring the traditional flavors and brewing techniques of Belgian beer to American drinkers.

That idea turned into something much bigger.

The brewery began with a single beer, Allagash White, a Belgian-style witbier brewed with coriander and Curacao orange peel. At the time, hazy wheat beers with noticeable spice and citrus character were still unfamiliar to many American beer drinkers. Allagash stuck with the concept, and White eventually became one of the most recognizable Belgian-style wheat beers in the United States.

Over the years, Allagash expanded its brewing program while maintaining its interest in Belgian beer traditions. Its lineup grew to include Belgian-style tripels, saisons, barrel-aged ales, sour beers, and spontaneously fermented releases. Rather than limiting itself to one recognizable flagship beer, the brewery continued experimenting with ingredients, fermentation techniques, aging processes, and traditional European brewing styles.

Some of its best-known beers include Allagash White, Tripel, and Curieux. Curieux, first brewed in 2004, helped establish the brewery’s interest in barrel aging. The beer takes a Belgian-style Tripel and ages it in bourbon barrels before blending it with fresh Tripel, creating a distinctive combination of vanilla, caramel, oak, and bourbon character.

Allagash also became an important part of the American craft beer movement through its work with spontaneously fermented beers. The brewery began experimenting with traditional Belgian-inspired coolship brewing in 2007, developing a program that brought another historically important European brewing technique to Maine.

Growth has not meant abandoning its original location. Allagash has continued operating in Portland, Maine, expanding its production capabilities and investing in its brewery and tasting room. Visitors can experience its beers directly at the brewery, where the company offers a range of beverages, tours, food, and other experiences.

Another important part of Allagash’s identity is its commitment to the Maine community. The company became a Certified B Corporation in 2019, reflecting its efforts to consider employees, community involvement, and environmental responsibility alongside business performance.

Its environmental work includes supporting Maine farmers and maltsters, increasing the use of locally grown grain, reducing brewery waste, and improving water efficiency. Allagash has also supported local nonprofit organizations through charitable contributions, volunteer programs, and community partnerships.

The brewery’s commitment to local agriculture is particularly interesting. By working with Maine growers and maltsters, Allagash has helped build stronger connections between craft brewing and the agricultural businesses that supply its ingredients. The company has reported using more than two million pounds of Maine-grown grain in a recent year.

Allagash has also earned recognition at major beer competitions, including the Great American Beer Festival, World Beer Cup, and European Beer Star Awards. Allagash White has collected numerous medals, while other releases have demonstrated the brewery’s ability to produce quality beers across multiple Belgian-inspired styles.

Today, Allagash Brewing Company remains a major name in American craft beer, with a portfolio that reaches well beyond its original wheat beer. Its combination of traditional Belgian brewing influences, experimentation, seasonal releases, and community involvement continues to distinguish the Maine brewery.

From Allagash White to barrel-aged Curieux and seasonal beers like Foliage Report Autumn Ale, the brewery continues finding new ways to bring Belgian-inspired brewing to American beer drinkers.
