Deep Ascent Pale Ale
Saint James Brewery & Bottle Room

In the summer of 2017, Long Island Divers recovered various bottles from a shipwreck just off of Long Island's southern beaches. The divers were atop the Oregon, a well known Transatlantic luxury liner that met her demise in 1886. Diver/brewer Jamie Adams of Saint James Brewery, Holbrook, Long Island, immediately set about reinvigorating near 130 years old beer yeast culture, found at the bottom of the hand blown glass bottles, into viable yeast cultures able to make beer. The result of his extensive efforts is Deep Ascent New York Pale Ale. Deep Ascentis brewed as a single yeast fermentation Ale using only our "dynamo" ship wreck yeast procured from the shipwreck Oregon. This is the first time we are brewing solely with the Dynamo yeast on its own, not a mixed fermentation. Enjoy
