Biographical / Historical
Poly alumnus Joseph Owades (July 9, 1919 – December 16, 2005) worked on the development of "light" beer. He worked for Fleischmann's Yeast, Schwarz Labs, and Rheingold Breweries in Brooklyn, where he became Vice President–Technical Director. Rheingold introduced the first "light beer," Gablinger's, using an enzyme which broke down chains of starch, allowing yeast to digest all of the starch. This created a beer with lower calories. Polytechnic Alumni President Anthony Concolino used this can of Gablinger's beer in his 2019 convocation speech, demonstrating the inventive spirit of Poly/Tandon engineers. Concolino donated the beer can and two Polytechnic prom beer glasses to the Poly Archives in 2021.
