From Allagash:
Easy-drinking lager Seconds to Summer and refreshing blonde ale Floating Holiday head to full distribution footprint
Portland, ME – April 18, 2022
Summer is just a sip away as award-winning Allagash Brewing Company today announced the launch of two new limited seasonal beers to its portfolio: Seconds to Summer, a crisp and hoppy lager, and Floating Holiday, a dry and balanced blonde ale with lemon peel and sea salt. The duo of beers will be heading widely across the Allagash 19-state plus D.C. distribution footprint starting in May*.
Brewed with traditional hops from the Czech Republic and fermented with Belgian yeast, Seconds to Summer boasts a refreshingly hoppy flavor that you’ll be sipping all summer long. Floating Holiday is bright and crisp blonde ale brewed with lemon peel and a pinch of sea salt. Both beers stemmed from the brewery’s pilot innovation system. “Seconds to Summer was one of our most popular pilot beers in recent memory.” said Jason Perkins, Brewmaster at Allagash. “Our team unanimously loved this easy-drinking lager, and are really excited to be able to enjoy it during the summer.” “The pilot beer idea for Floating Holiday was to make a blonde ale with lemon peel and sea salt that was ‘crushable, crisp, and bright.’ And we definitely found that those ingredient additions of lemon and sea salt took an already dry and balanced style of beer and made it that much more refreshing,” said Perkins. “It’s the perfect beer to kick off the vacation mindset.”

Seconds to Summer (4.5% ABV) is a limited release available in 12-packs of 12 ounce cans, shipping out to Allagash’s full distribution right now; Floating Holiday (5.2% ABV) is available in 16 ounce cans and on draft, and will begin shipping in mid May.
