Sam Adams is re-releasing the original craft beer which was last made 30 years ago in 1983. This beer is the New Albion Ale which was originally brewed by New Albion brewery started by Jack McAuliffe in 1977. Set for official release this Thursday January 17, 2013 at Russian River brewery in Santa Rosa, California which currently is the home place for the original New Albion beer sign.
This beer was created after a Sam Adams employee ran into Jack McAuliffe at his home brewers club meeting. After talking to Jim Koch, owner and founder of Boston Beer Co., and realizing the trademark was no longer registered, Koch decided to register the name and make the beer.
This beer is already hitting stores and bars this week across Long Island. There is also a rumor of this beer on draft, which I can confirm. Dates and locations for the New Albion ale draft offering will be available soon.
