Poor Richard's Ale was first brewed in 2006 to celebrate the 300th anniversary of Benjamin Franklin's birthday. It was so popular that we've brewed it every year since!

The basic recipe for Poor Richard's Ale was created through the research of historian Tony Simmons and resulted in a beer that contains many of the ingredients common to Colonial ales. New world corn and molasses join malted barley and pure water to create a fine traditional brew Franklin would have been proud to drink.

Poor Richard's Ale is only brewed once a year, and doesn't last long, so hurry to try this beer celebrating American self suffience, ingenuity and good taste.
