Some bloke's birthday falls on the 17th January. Doesn't mean much to
us Brits that Ben Franklin would have been 300 years old.
In commemoration of this historic event, craft brewers from across America will join together to make and serve Poor Richard's Ale. There will be nearly 100 breweries in 35 states participating in this event. The name of the ale comes from Franklin's book Poor Richard's Almanack published in the mid 1700's.
The website - http://www.poorrichardsale.com (which actually links to the brewers association website) has a full list of where you can drink and buy the ale, the recipe from which is being shared.

A framed poster in my kitchen reads:
"Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to prosper. -Ben Franklin"
