Coloradan Taps into Ale History to Honor Franklin:
Special brew made for 300th birthday of Founding Father
By John Accola, Rocky Mountain News©
January 4, 2006
Tony Simmons loves beer and history.
Turns out those two passions propelled the brewer from Pagosa Springs to center stage in Philadelphia, where the city is celebrating the 300th birthday of its most famous resident, Benjamin Franklin.
"It's an incredible honor," said Simmons, creator of a special beer brewed for Franklin's 300th birthday bash Jan. 17. "He was truly an amazing guy. A real Renaissance man."
 As of last week, more than 100 commercial microbreweries in Colorado and 34 other states were using Simmons' recipe to brew their own batches of Poor Richard's Ale - all part of a national January promotion organized by the Colorado-based Brewers Association.

 Award-Winning Recipes
The American Homebrewers Association (AHA) has selected Pagosa Brewery owner Tony Simmons' recipe as the “official” recipe for National Homebrew Day. Each year on the first Saturday in May, homebrewers unite non-brewing and brewing friends and family to celebrate National Homebrew Day, joining with thousands of homebrewers from around the world in brewing the same recipes and sharing a simultaneous toast at noon Central Time. Last year they had nearly 3,000 participants, so this is quite an honor and Tony obviously knows how to make all us beer-lovers drool.
American Craft Brewers receive National Recognition
Resolution passes U.S. House of Representatives
June 6, 2006 – Today, the U.S. House of Representatives gave unanimous consent to House Resolution 753, commending America’s craft brewers for their many and varied contributions to our nation’s communities, economy, culture and history.
Under the leadership of two friends of the craft brewing community, Representatives Sherwood Boehlert (R-NY) and Peter DeFazio (D-OR), and with over 70 additional Congressmen cosponsoring the measure, H. Res. 753 achieved passage in just 60 days.
“This is an important and significant first step in our effort to raise the profile of craft beer and brewing in Washington,” said BA president Charlie Papazian. “The amount of support we received from Members of Congress was extremely gratifying and was due in large part to the efforts of individual professional Brewers Association and American Homebrewers Association members calling and writing their Congressman to ask for their support of the resolution.”
The resolution, which also recognizes the establishment of American Craft Beer Week, was a featured element of a Capitol Hill Congressional reception held on May 16th which featured BA member beers from across the country paired with a variety of artisinal foods. At this event, Congressmen Boehlert and DeFazio were publicly recognized and thanked for their outstanding support of America’s craft brewers.
