From the HudsonReporter:
When Bayonne-born Weehawkenite Mark Szmaida got the call from England asking him to help brew a special beer for English pub giant J.D. Wetherspoon in celebration of the 100-year anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, he answered with a resounding “yes.”
Fortunately, he was not required to make the voyage by sea.
Three weeks ago, Szmaida flew to the famous Titanic Brewery in the cruise ship captain’s hometown of Stock on Trent to create a “one-off” beer based on the flagship (pun unintended) Chelsea Sunset Red Ale he makes as head brewer of Chelsea Brewing Company in midtown Manhattan. The beer, “Ship of Dreams,” debuted April 14, and is the first American collaboration J.D. Wetherspoon has organized from the New York area.
Because the beer required three weeks to brew and will only be sold by the Titanic Brewery until its 900-cask batch runs out, Szmaida hasn’t yet had the chance to taste his own historic creation. Full article here.
