James Carroll was born in Albany, New York where he obtained an education in the public schools. He was then sent to New York City to study at the National Brewers' Academy. Upon graduation he returned to Albany and worked in the Arch Street Brewery, and later the Albany Brewery. His reputation as a brewmaster grew in conjunction with Albany's reputation as a brewery town. He soon became one of the most in-demand master brewers on the East Coast. The ambitious brewer James Hanley hired him to supervise his ale brewery in 1904 and it was there he would live out the rest of his career. Carroll died on March 14, 1919 at the age of 58 years .
