How Do All ,
Here`s an ` Oddball ` brew from the Albany brewery of The Amsdell Brewing & Malting Company ; from the records photos kindly sent by a fellow traveller , Brewer & Brewery Historian Craig Gravina .
This is the only brewing of this beer I`ve seen from the photos of the 1900 - 1901 ; 1904 - 1905 Brewing Books deposited with and cared for by the helpful and friendly team at the World renowned
Albany Institute of History & Art ; Cat No : MS BND 0019 .
So what was this beer ? , I`d suggest that it`s one brewed for a special occasion or local event or, merely a more full bodied version of Polar with a slightly elevated A B V % .
