Jefferson's Beer to be brewed

Just got this note in the Real Beer Newsletter (which I recommend to all imbibers):

MONTICELLO RESERVE ALE BASED ON JEFFERSON RECIPE
The Thomas Jefferson Visitor Center in Monticello is teaming with a Virginia
brewery to produce Monticello Reserve Ale. Nearby Starr Hill Brewery will
brew the beer. The partners say the recipe, which will include wheat and
corn, is based on what was consumed regularly at Jefferson’s Monticello home.
Brewing beer was among the plantation’s important activities, and the beer
was one of the "table liquors" served with meals. The ale will make its
public debut at the center’s museum shop on Feb. 21.
