The Bruery, Right Proper, and Lost Lagers Brew Beer Last Produced in 1940

From a press release:

Right Proper Brewing Company, The Bruery Store, and Lost Lagers have collaborated to brew a pale lager that hasn’t existed for 78 years. The recipe came from the collections of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History.

Amsterdam Lager was originally brewed in Amsterdam, New York, by the Amsterdam Brewing Company between 1933 and 1940. On 8/20 it is reborn as “Amsterdam, 1940.” The beer is as balanced and crushable as its story is fascinating. It is believed to be the only beer with this recipe crafted in the 21^ST Century – a lager with New York, Oregon, and Bavarian hops. The combination of Amsterdam, 1940’s ingredients and processes cannot be found anywhere in the DC brewing scene and likely nowhere else in the world. Before prohibition, New York state was the largest hop grower in America. This beer, originally brewed in upstate New York, had been confined to the page, until now.

Amsterdam, 1940 will be released on Monday 8/20 during DC Beer Week at
