The story goes like this: Once upon a time there was a brewery in Newburyport, MA by the name of ‘Ould Newbury Brewing Company.’ It was a small brewery started by the husband & wife team, Joe and Pam Rolfe. They were among a group of breweries that began popping up in the early 90’s. Sadly, the brewery didn’t survive the economic downturn of the late nineties. Joe Rolfe ended up befriending Riverwalk Principle & Head Brewer – Steve Sanderson. In a gesture of friendship, Mr.Rolfe donated his brewing items to Steve and Riverwalk. Included in the items were recipe sheets for the Ould Newbury Brewing flagship ‘Yankee Ale’.
