1941 Fidelio Brewery recipe brought back to life

Phantom Canyon Staff — Wed, 11 Aug 2010 22:17:31 +0000

Revival Series #5: 1941 New Yorker Beer

1941 New Yorker Beer, originally brewed by Fidelio Brewery, NYC. This beer comes from a very interesting period: June 1941. Just a few months before the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. It gives a good idea of what post-Prohibition brewing was like.

With less hops than a pre-prohibition pilsner but more than a post-war pilsner, it is crisp and balanced with the emphasis on malt. Expect aromas of grain and grass-like hops with hints of honey and spiciness. Flavors of citrus fruit and sweet grains precede a touch of lingering bitterness.

Served in a pint glass. 4.3% ABV 21 IBU.

Sneaky smooth, try the new Repo Man Cream Ale

Repo Man Cream Ale – Our interpretation of the classic 19th century American Ale.

Brewed with a judicious amount of corn and hopped with old-school Cluster hops it is cool fermented and cold lagered making for a crisp, refreshing summer brew.

5.6 ABV. 19 IBU.

This traditionally cloudy beer has a citrus-like flavor from spicing with coriander, lemon peel and both bitter and sweet orange peel.

This beer is light and refreshing with a distinctive taste.

Bitterness is made sharper by the acidic dark malt character giving the perception of a drier finish than the Final Gravity would suggest. 5.1% ABV
