Coney Island Brewing Co., Brooklyn, N.Y., has teamed up with the New York Public Library to create a beer fit for a founding father. To toast the 100th birthday of the library’s landmark Stephen A. Schwarzman Building on 42nd Street, the two institutions are brewing a very limited amount of “Fortitude’s Founding Father Brew,” a porter based on George Washington’s handwritten “small beer” recipe, which can be found in the library’s extensive collections. The brewery is creating the beer in collaboration with two local brewers, Pete Taylor and Josh Knowlton, using Washington’s own instructions.
