Gold Medal Ales are produced monthly in recognition of some of the 'greats' of history.
This month's story :-

The 6th June 1896 saw Norwegian fishermen George Harbo and Frank Samuelson set out to row the Atlantic from New York.

Lured by prize money and fame they crossed it in 55 days.

On returning, their steam ship ran out of coal off Cape Cod and everything made of wood was ordered to be broken up to fuel the boilers. Rather than risk their boat Frank & George lowered it into the sea and rowed back to New York.

Fame & fortune eluded them and they sank back into obscurity to leave a record that lasted 115 yearsp
