1852
Allsopp’s Arctic Ale was brewed by commission of Her Majesty Queen Victoria to ensure health and nutrition to a team of explorers searching for the Northwest Passage. It was carried north by the HMS Resolute, which became trapped in the frozen sea only to be found vacantly drifting a year later by the U.S. and returned to England. The ship was retired and made into two ornate desks, as gifts for the Queen and for the President of the United States.
2010
The Resolute Desks remain in use in the Oval Office and in Buckingh am Palace today. In an inspired collaboration with homebrewer, adventurer & beer historian Chris Bowen, Fegley’s Brew Works recreated this fine ale from a 158 year old recipe under the direction of Brewmaster Beau Baden. The Bowen/Baden team, which previously won a 2007 GABF Gold medal together in the Pro-Am category, sails once again into beer history with this Arctic Ale.
