This week, Off The Ball's Cameron Hill tells us the story of a Cork-born boxer, Jack McAuliffe, a World Lightweight Champion in the early 20th century, who was involved in one of the most controversial bouts in the sports' history.
Renée DeLuca and Don Barkley Renée DeLuca, Jack McAuliffe's daughter, is our special guest today on Brew Ha Ha with Steve Jaxon and Herlinda Heras. This is Renée's first time on Brew Ha Ha. Her father is one of the most famous figures in craft brewing history. She is visiting Santa Rosa to attend the celebration at the Museum of Sonoma County this coming Saturday, July 20 from 4pm-8pm. It will be in the sculpture garden which is becoming a beer garden for the event. Don Barkley is also in the studio today. He was our in-studio guest on this episode just three weeks ago. This is part one of the podcast of their live radio show, featuring Renée DeLuca with Herlinda Heras and Steve Jaxon. In part two of the podcast, Don Barkley joins them in the studio. That episode is right here.
Renée and Don. The New Albion story continues here in part two of Renée DeLuca and Don Barkley's visit to Brew Ha ha with Steve Jaxon and Herlinda Heras. Part one of today's show, with Renée DeLuca as the featured guest, is on this other podcast episode. Herlinda Heras' father is also in the studio with us today. Don Barkley was on Brew Ha Ha three weeks ago on this episode of June 27. Today he is back to meet Renée and to bring some of Jack McAuliffe's New Albion Ale that he has brewed for the Beer Garden event this Saturday. Don was studying fermentation science at UC Davis when he asked his professor, Dr. Michael Lewis, how he could get a job in the brewing industry. Professor Lewis told him he would have to cut his hair. Don didn't like that idea so the professor suggested he contact Jack McAuliffe, who wouldn't care about long hair. Jack was known for coming to the library and going over all the books about brewing, although he was not enrolled. Don tells the story of going to Sonoma to meet Jack, who initially refused Don. But when Don came back he talked to Susie Dennison and made a deal to work for a case of beer a week. Don still has the recipes. Russian River Brewing Co. will have three race cars on display at their Windsor pub, on Wednesday, July 24. Two top fuel dragsters and one funny car and drivers, will be there to greet visitors. It's a promotion for the NHRA Sonoma Nationals that are taking place at Sonoma Raceway on July 26-28. Russian River Brewing Co. is open in Santa Rosa on 4th St. and at their big Windsor location. Visit their website for up-to-date hours, menus, beers and more. New Albion Pale Ale Kevin Lovett is the brewer at Wolfhouse Brewing Co. He is also the son of Michael Lovett, Don's dearest friend. Michael and Don both started at the New Albion brewery together. Now they are brewing the old recipe at Kevin's brewery. Kevin Lovett was a guest on Brew Ha Ha on June 9, 2022, here is the episode page. In that interview with Harry Duke and Herlinda Heras, we hear about how Kevin literally grew up at Mendocino Brewing Company. Jack McAuliffe has a name for today's beers flavored with ingredients like cinnamon or cardamom. He calls them hula hoop beers, which is hilarious. See our sponsor Victory House at Poppy Bank Epicenter online, for their latest viewing and menu options. Albion is the name of Britain in ancient Greek and t is also a poetic name for Britain. Sir Francis Drake sailed on his ship The Golden Hind and was the first European to sail into San Francisco Bay. The Golden Hind is the ship on the New Albion Pale Ale label. The best place to get a taste of the New Albion Pale Ale is at the Museum of Sonoma County Summer Beer Garden. It's open from 4-8pm, $15 general admission, ample shady parking available across the street.
Beer Historian John Burton and Eric Stanley, curator of the Museum of Sonoma County join Steve Jaxon and Herlinda Heras on Brew Ha Ha. John Burton also operates the Santa Rosa Bartending School. The exhibit ON TAP has been open at the Museum of Sonoma County since April. Check it out before it closes on September 1. This Saturday, July 20 there is a reception from 4:00 to 8:00 PM, where they will serve a very special beer. They will convert their sculpture garden into a beer garden. They will serve an original recipe from Jack McAuliffe, one of the co-founders of New Albion Brewery. Herlinda has brought some of the beer to taste today. It is a pale ale with Cascade hops. It's not very hoppy by today's standards but it was considered hoppy in 1977. Albion is the name of Britain in the Greek language. The Cascade Hop was the first type created in a university laboratory, in the early seventies. Russian River Brewing Co. is open in Santa Rosa on 4th St. and at their big Windsor location. Visit their website for up-to-date hours, menus, beers and more. John lent the museum a lot of pieces from his collection, for the On Tap exhibit. Some bottles are as old as the 1800s. He also has a lot of pieces from the Grace Bros. brand, which was the great local brand from 1897-1966. John Burton knew Virginia and Cathy Grace. See our sponsor Victory House at Poppy Bank Epicenter online, for their latest viewing and menu options. The exhibition traces the brewing business from the arrival of German immigrants in the 1840s. This inspired the idea to transform the Museum of Sonoma County sculpture garden into a German-style beer garden for the event on July 20.
Legendary brewer Don Barkley is again our guest on Brew Ha Ha with Steve Jaxon and Herlinda Heras today. His last appearance on BHH was this episode of March 28, 2019. Don founded the Mendocino Brewing Company in 1983 as the Hopland Brewery. It was the very first brew pub in the United States. They had a big hit with Red Tail Ale and their brew pub was the model for all subsequent ones. They are brewing a revival of one of Jack McAuliffe's original New Albion Brewing Company recipe. New Albion was the first craft brewery. Jack made all of their equipment himself. Michael Lovett and Don Barkley worked for New Albion and left to start Mendocino Brewing after New Albion closed. Don kept all of Jack's notes and instructions, that is how they have the exact recipe for New Albion Pale Ale to make today. Russian River Brewing Co. is open in Santa Rosa on 4th St. and at their big Windsor location. Visit their website for up-to-date hours, menus, beers and more. At a time when everyone else was producing lager beer, Red Tail Ale was a unique new flavor. They tried to expand the business with some outside investors, but in Don's opinion they were never able to figure out how to make a craft brewery work. Wolfhouse Brewing in Cloverdale is making the beer although they can't call it that. See our sponsor Victory House at Poppy Bank Epicenter online, for their latest viewing and menu options. It is hard to make it just right. Herlinda remembers a brewer that tried to make it and it wasn't quite right. They also made Blue Heron which was an IPA.

There must have been something in the water in Northern California in the late '70s, because the region produced craft brewing legends in scads. Sierra Nevada founder Ken Grossman joins Taplines today to bring us back to that heady milieu and highlight how two of his Golden State contemporaries in particular helped him keep the brewery's now-iconic pale ale flowing in those early years. One was Fritz Maytag, Anchor Brewing's "gentleman brewer." The other was Jack McAuliffe, who founded the New Albion Brewing Company in 1976, only to close up shop half a decade later. How did this tiny, failed brewery change the course of one of the industry's most successful firms? Listen on, listener. Don't forget to like, review, and subscribe! Hosted on Acast.

In 1976 Jack McAuliffe started New Albion Brewing Company which is widely considered the first microbrewery in the US. Jack doesn't do interviews anymore but we tracked down his daughter, Renee DeLuca who filled us in on the details and wow, what a story! As an added bonus Renee talks about not knowing that Jack was her father until she was an adult and what it was like meeting him for the first time.

It's a busy show today, as Megan Anderson and Tara Nurin both join Herlinda Heras, who is back from a three-week trip to Estonia and Finland. Tara Nurin writes about the business of beverages and spirits for Forbes magazine, from her home base in Camden, New Jersey. Megan Anderson is the representative of New Zealand hops growers. Herlinda was in Finland judging the national beer competition and the national Sahti competition. She was the first American judge in either competition. Sahti is the Finnish national home brew. Herlinda describes the Finnish habit of taking a sauna (which they pronounce “SOW-na” not “SAW-na” as English speakers tend to say) and then plunging into the cold lake and going back and forth between the sauna and the lake. Steve says, “No, thank you!” Herlinda says it got rid of her jet lag pretty quickly. It's the cleanest country she has ever been to. They have free health care for everyone. Car registration and traffic fines are scaled by income. They have very clean water and their lager beers tasted clean and delicious and so were the Baltic Porters. Herlinda also visited Tallinn, the capital of Estonia. New Zealand hops have a special reputation among beer fans. Her organization is a cooperative of twenty-seven growers. They have been growing hops in this reagion of New Zealand for 150 years. They grow some of the best hops in the world, such as Nelson Sauvin and Riwaka. Megan is here to promote a new one, called Nectaron. Some of their hops have trademarked and registered names. See them all here at the NZ Hops website. Some have exotic names derived from other languages such as Moutere (which seems derived from French where it would be “moo-TER”). They say “MOO-ter-ee.” One is called Mouteka. Nectaron is named for Dr. Ron Bitzen, a botanist who worked on hops his entire career and who created Nectaron out of 12 years of R&D. Nelson Sauvin was created from their breeding program and released in 2000. It's a very distinctive hop. They have limited supply, 1800 acres, and they are under 1% of the world supply, but they have special qualities. Sahti is one of the oldest styles of alcoholic beverage in Europe, and does not use hops because when it was developed they did not use hops. They use juniper as a flavoring. Herlinda found that the Sahti brews she was judging were quite similar and she had to find a way to differentiate among them. Also, it is not carbonated. Next week she will bring some to this show, to taste with Mark Carpenter. Tara Nurin has just published her book, A Woman's Place Is In The Brewhouse: A forgotten history of alewives, witches, brewsters and CEOs. She has her first official book event Sunday at Urban Roots Brewery in Sacramento, California. She is planning another book signing with Russian River Brewing Co., probably for December. Lagunitas Stereohopic IPA uses hop oil. I small bottle of hop oil can flavor a large batch and ultimately much more efficient use of water. Megan points out that the botanists spend a lot of time “chasing flavors” and she credits the impetus of the craft beer industry for pushing the demand for better more interesting hops. Megan Anderson's first job in the beer market was at Samual Adams, as a beer salesperson and trainer, for ten years. Megan moved to Idaho to work for a hop company called Mill 95. There, she met some New Zealanders. She found a company in Kalamazoo, Michigan that makes a hop oil. Then she met Totally Natural Solutions, that produces a totally natural hop oil. Her dream job materialized with the New Zealand hop growers offered her a job. In New Zealand there are some 5th and 6th generations of children growing hops in the fields of their family farms. In 2010 she started a home brew club and one of the members was Jack McAuliffe, the founder of New Albion. It was the first new brewery founded here after Prohibition. They made the first American pale ale. Natalie Cilurzo is in Tara's book,
The American Brewing History Initiative at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History is the subjcet of this week's Brew Ha Ha podcast. Steve Jaxon talks to Herlinda Heras, on the telephone from Washington DC. She is attending the Smithsonian's grand opening of the exhibition. The exhibition is a celebration of the most recent generation of American brewers. They are bestowing honors on Anchor Brewing, Sierra Nevada and New Albion. New Albion was the first brewery in America after Prohibition, located in Sonoma. The American History Museum is hosting this exhibit. Fritz Maytag is there and so is New Albion founder Jack McAuliffe, as well as Ken Grossman of Sierra Nevada. Herlinda learned that Jack McAuliffe was stationed at Alameda with the Navy before founding New Albion. There are food events, tastings and talks to celebrate the exhibit. According to the exhibit's website, "The American Brewing History Initiative at the National Museum of American History will document and collect the story of beer and brewing in America, with a special focus on home brewing and craft beer. Made possible by a gift from the Brewers Association, the initiative will build an archive of American brewing history for the benefit of scholars and the public."
This is the story of the beginnings of craft beer. We tell you how this "craft beer" concept emerged. In this episode, we interviewed John Holl - a beer expert and journalist, Renee DeLuca - the daughter of the craft beer pioneer Jack McAuliffe, and professor Michael Lewis who has taught brewing for decades.
Velkommen til danmarks første (og største) øl podcast!Dagens emne: Indian Pale ale & humleLyt med og får historien East coast vs. West coast IPA og så skal du en tur i skole, når vi introducerer et nyt segment: HistorietimenOG… vær sød at smid et par stjerner efter podcasten, hvis du kan lide hvad du hører. Vi bliver SÅ glade!!!!Hilsen,Lasse & Claus, Frederiksberg Bryghus.///Podcasten er et branded samarbejde mellem Frederiksberg Bryghus – der elsker at brygge god øl og KhAg – der elsker at producere gode podcasts!Fang os på facebook eller lasse@frederiksbergbryghus.dkLinks:www.jagtenpaadenperfektesmagsoplevelse.dkwww.Frederiksbergbryghus.dkwww.KhAg.dk///India Pale Ale….eller IPA er en engelsk øltype, der blev udviklet for at kunne klare sejlturen til Indien.Tidligere sejlede englænderne deres øl til kolonierne i Indien, da det var for varmt til at brygge øllet lokalt. Den lange rejse og de store temperatursvingninger gjorde dog, at øllet havde svært ved at klare turen. Og da man ikke kendte til pasteurisering, blev der udviklet en øltype med en højere alkoholmængde, hvor der samtidigt var tilsat mere humle. Begge dele var med til at konservere øllen, så risikoen for at den blev dårlig i løbet af den lange rejse blev mindre.På grund af den store mængde humle er IPA'en en relativt bitter øl (høj IBU). Denne bitterhed opvejes af aromahumlen, der er med til at give øllet en mere frugtagtig smag.Og hvis det må være lidt nørdet – og det må det gerne – så står IBU for International Bitterness Units og er som nævnt en enheden for bitterheden i en øl.Ibu fås ved at undersøge mængden af de opløste isoalfa-syrer fra humleharpikserne, der udskilles under urtkogningen og registrerer koncentrationenEn IPA har ofte et højt IBU indhold, typisk fra 50 – 100, mens en carlsberg er 8 ibu og grøn tuborg 18 ibu American Pale Ale …..eller APA er en øltype, der blev udviklet i USA omkring 1980Amerikanske pale ale indeholder omkring 5% alkohol og en betydelige mængder amerikansk humle, typisk Cascade.Selvom amerikanske brygget øl har en tendens til at bruge en renere gær og amerikansk two-row malt, er det især den amerikanske humle, der skelner en APA´en fra den britiske eller europæiske pale ale. IPA og APA er i stil meget tæt på hinanden og grænserne udviskes langsomt. IPA'en er dog ofte stærkere og mere humlede end sin amerikanske fætter APA, der også lægger sig op af en amber ale, blot uden amber ales mørke farve, der skyldes brugen af krystalmaltAnchor liberty ale, en 6% ale, brygget i 1975 som en hyldest til til 200-års jubilæet for the american independence war, blev anset af den berømte engelske øl journalist Michael Jackson som den første moderne american ale.Ejeren af Anchor brewery besøgte de britiske bryggerier I London og Yorkshire for at samle informationer om deres robuste pale ales. Han tog hjem til usa og lavede hans amerikanske version kun med malt, og ikke malt-sukker kombinationen der var populær på det tidspunkt, samt masser af den amerikanske cascade humle. American pale ale blev et hit og en fast del af øl udvalget i 1983.En anden inspirationskilde til til apa´en var Jack McAuliffe fra New Albion Brewing Company der inspireret af de ales han havde smagt I skotland bryggede New Albion Ale I 1976.New Albion Ale var på det tidspunkt voldsomt humlet med cascade humlen, 2.-fermenteret i flasken og ikke halm-farvet – alle ting, der på det tidspunkt ikke var normalt i pale ales.
Jack McAuliffe is an organizational coach for arts organizations. He's had a long career in arts leadership including serving as the first Director of Marketing at the Kennedy Center and as the COO of the League of American Orchestras, where he commissioned several audience engagement studies including the legendary Orchestra "Churn Study." In this episode, Erik and Jack discuss the findings from four large audience research studies, why a good marketing director should have a role in programming, and how storytelling and context are so important for arts organizations.
James and Andy brew up a recipe based on New Albion ale under the supervision of New Albion founder Jack McAuliffe.
Craft brewing pioneer Jack McAuliffe shares the story of his founding America's first microbrewery - New Albion of Sonoma, California.
