Grace Wallace said “yes” to an opportunity and came away with a summer experience like no other. 🍻

As a Hospitality and Merchandising intern at Allagash Brewing Company, Grace got a front-row seat to how companies create and launch new products. “I had never thought about how many different people and departments are involved in the process!”

From helping customers in the tasting room to working in the warehouse to creating consumer surveys, Grace got to experience it all. But it was the people who made the biggest impact.

“Everyone at Allagash had my back, supported me, and made work really fun!”
