The New York Public Library (NYPL) is giving visitors a chance
to "taste history" by recreating George Washington's beer recipe
from the first president's 1757 military journal, which is housed
in the library's research collections.
The library collaborated with New York City-based TALEA Beer Co.
to recreate the brew, along with a Liberty Lager to appeal to
modern palates.
"The initial response to [the library] reaching out was obviously
awe," LeAnn Darland, TALEA co-founder and co-CEO, told Fox News
Digital. "Just to be considered to work with the New York Public
Library is huge for us."

Molasses added ? Probably kickapoo beer ! :-)
A fair number of the US Founders were more or
less "Renaissance Men" - students of everything
there was to know at the time.
There was a span where motivated people COULD
really kind-of "know it all".
No longer of course, but .....
