Talea Beer Company is partnering with the New York Public Library to brew Liberty Lager, a beer inspired by a recipe penned by George Washington in 1757. This collaboration marks the 250th anniversary of the United States. The recipe, found in Washington's military notebook, includes ingredients such as a quart of yeast and three gallons of molasses. According to Talea co-founder LeAnn Darland, the recipe is straightforward and accessible for novice brewers. Liberty Lager will be available in various locations across New York City during the summer. The New York Public Library is also commemorating this milestone with a new limited-edition library card and a curated book list. Additionally, Samuel Adams is reviving its Brewer Patriot Collection, which features beers based on Colonial American recipes, including the George Washington Porter and James Madison Dark Wheat Ale. These initiatives reflect a growing interest in historical brewing practices and the celebration of America's rich heritage.
