How Do All ,
Continuing the series of Strong Ale recipies , here`s one from New York State from 1904 ; I`ts an oddity in those records in that is suggests that it wasn`t a beer produced at the company`s own plant in Albany .
The Amsdell`s Brewing Records this beer comes from are , to my current knowledge ;
The ONLY survivors from a Pre Prohibition New York ( State & City ) Brewery ,
So if ANY Blog readers are able to assist with knowledge of others ; Please get in touch ,
I`d love to hear from you .
This recipe ; With thanks to Craig Gravina who kindly sent me photos of the 1900 - 01 & 1904 -05 Amsdell`s Brewing Books , is my interpretation of the information in the Amsdell Brewing & Malting Co 1904 - 1905 Brewing Book @ MS BND 00019, Deposited with the good folks at the world famous
Albany Institute of History & Art .
