PALE ALES was founded in May 1995 by Joe Bair, the owner of Princeton Homebrew, at a downtown restaurant — The Alchemist and Barrister. At this first meeting officers were elected and a club name was created. The first officers of the club were: Kent Brehm (President), Steve Rowley (VP), Dave Albert (Secretary), Al Bacardo (Treasurer). The first guest speaker was Mark Burford of Long Island Brewing Company (now of Blue Point Brewing).
From the humble beginnings of 1995 all the way thru 2003, PALE ALES published nearly 75 newsletters that were printed and mailed to 300 members every month. We’ve archived them all here here for your reading enjoyment!
