New York Breweries History: Perry's Majestic - Riverosa Company INC.
Perry's Majestic Lager Beer is hand-crafted from the rich grains of
organically grown barley and hops. Perry's Majestic is brewed and bottled
for the Riverosa Company Inc. NY., under license by Frankemuth Brewing,
Inc. Frankemuth, MI.
There are large differences between regular barley & hops and
organic barley & hops. "Hops are very susceptible to fungus and the non-organic
growers use a lot of fungicide," explains Chris Bell, president of International
Marketing of Lake Worth, Florida, which sources for organic brewers.
Bell helped Mark Butler get America's first organic beer, Perry's Majestic,
out to market in 1993. "The reason I wanted to develop an organic beer,"
Butler says, "was not because of the environment, and not because organic
was politically correct--but for the quality. I knew organic would make for
tough, brawling beer, manly beer."
