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.
