Earlier this year, President Obama had a White House beer crafted by his chef, downed a pint of Guinness in Ireland and had a beer summit and now the New York Public Library is going all the way back to our first (beer loving) president to re-create a beer of his time period.
Here is what the press release has to say…“The New York Public Library has teamed up with Coney Island Brewing Company in Brooklyn to create a beer fit for a Founding Father – a porter based on George Washington’s handwritten “small beer” recipe, which can be found in the Library’s extensive collections.
The two institutions are brewing a very limited amount of “Fortitude’s Founding Father Brew” to toast the 100th birthday of the Library’s landmark Stephen A. Schwarzman Building on 42nd Street.”
