Re-creating George Washington's Original Home Brew!

Liberty Lager uses a more contemporary malt bill and lager fermentation to echo the Washington notes while offering a package-friendly, summer-ready option that's easy to drink.
Re-creating George Washington's Original Home Brew!
Q: How did you approach recreating the recipe technically?
They conducted bench trials, tasted different sugars, and ultimately used molasses, brand hops, and bran to craft an authentic, historically grounded small beer that still remains flavorful and drinkable today.
Re-creating George Washington's Original Home Brew!
Q: Tell me about this beer and the 250th anniversary context.
Spencer explains that the New York Public Library provided Washington's original recipe from the notebook, and after tasting several sugar sources, molasses was chosen to stay true to the historical document; the project aims to honor history while producing a drinkable beer for today.
Old World Techniques with Simple Brewing Company
Q: What drove you to adopt a worker cooperative model and how does it work in practice?
We chose a worker cooperative to ensure employees have a say in governance, with a path to ownership and profit sharing that distributes decision-making and rewards more equitably among the team.
Wild Yeasts and Thoughtful Intervention
Q: Swapna, coming from the science world, how does the work translate to practical cider making and replication in future batches?
We used experimental evolution to guide which yeasts we kept based on taste and Jeff's needs, ultimately banking a few strains and designing multi-strain fermentations to capture complexity and place-specific flavors.
