Jack McAuliffe’s New Albion Ale Being Passed On To Daughter Renee & Mendocino Brewing

Exciting news coming for the future of New Albion Ale…a few details from Clevescene & Doug Trattner:

After Jim Koch conferred all rights, trademarks and proceeds to McAuliffe, he passed them along to his daughter, Renee, who finds herself the new steward of a very old brand. Plans already are in the works to resume production of the American pale ale thanks to Mendocino Brewing, which will begin contract brewing it as early as this fall. That’s fitting because that’s the brewery McAuliffe went to work at after New Albion went bust.  In addition to the new line of old beers, DeLuca hopes to open a New Albion brewpub. DeLuca says she’s got her eye on Sonoma, home to the roots of an industry. But “could there be something in Cleveland, too?” she asks. “Probably, because this is where our hearts are.”
