America's First Microbrewery
Craft beer lovers will appreciate this column in today’s Beacon Journal.  Jack McAuliffe, the man who in 1976 built the first microbrewery in the US and created New Albion Ale, is back.  He will be visiting the area. 



Perhaps more importantly NewAlbion Ale is back and the story is fascinating.  Described in the linked article as ‘a classic American story:  Guy has an idea. Guy acts on idea. Guy’s idea goes haywire and fails. He fades into obscurity and all of a sudden, late in his life, whammo. How cool is that?”
