This year marks Ben Franklin's 300th birthday (and Mozart's
250th, but he's not quite so brewalicious). A number of breweries around the country have toasted the event by brewing a
"Poor Richard's Ale" in commemoration of the big
three-oh-oh. What better way to remember a colonial genius who's most famous in brewing circles for an
oft-misquoted opinion of beer? Of course, the year's hardly over yet - go thee and produce an American ale of yore with
these guidelines, my homies.
