Beer Release: NW: Get It Now (Again?)… Shmaltz “Sweet 16” 16th Annivesary Ale
Yes it’s November and yes you’re not even close to thinking about what to get someone for Christmas. So you can be sure that this isn’t another Christmas writeup. It’s a Jewish beer release reminder.
Shmaltz Brewing Company out of NY or CA sent a reminder to us that their 16th Anniversary Jewbelation Sweet 16 is still floating around.
This holiday season, Shmaltz Brewing Company celebrates its "Sweet 16" with the limited-edition release of the next stop on HE'BREW Beer's award-winning Anniversary journey: Jewbelation Sweet 16®. A complex, enormous brown ale with a dynamic labyrinth of multi-layered flavors, Jewbelation Sweet 16® is brewed with 16 malts, 16 hops and soars to 16% alc. Since its inception in 2004, Shmaltz's Jewbelation® series has been hailed by critics and showered with accolades including, "5 Stars" from Celebrator Beer News, "Best Holiday Beer" by Pacific Brew News, and Playboy Magazine naming Jewbelation Twelve® one of the "Best Winter Brews." Imbibe Magazine calls Jewbelation 14® one of the "Top 50 Beers in the World" and a blind, holiday tasting panel from SF Weekly determined Jewbelation 14® the "Best Christmas Beer" - the brew also took home a Gold Medal at the World Beer Championships (2011).
Getting into the holiday spirit the brewery is releasing their 3rd Annual HE'BREW Holiday Gift Pack®.
Shmaltz's 3rd Annual HE'BREW Holiday Gift Pack® features eight 12 oz. bottles of beer which include the World Beer Championship Silver Medal winning (and newly designed), Genesis Dry Hopped Session Ale®, Messiah Nut Brown Ale®, Origin Pomegranate Strong Ale®, Gold Medal winners Bittersweet Lenny's RIPA® and Hop Manna IPA, plus the unique collaboration with Terrapin Brewing, Reunion Ale '12 - A Beer For Hope®. Completing the only Chanukah Beer Gift Pack on any shelf this season are 2012's rare, barrel-aged blend, Funky Jewbelation®, and Jewbelation Sweet 16®. The Gift Pack® includes a custom glass, Chanukah candles and instructions on "How To Build Your Own Beer Menorah" - which details how to enter the 3rd Annual "Best Beer Menorah" Facebook competition for a chance to win a chosen prize!
Also inside this year's Gift Pack is a special, promotional discount code that offers an opportunity to save on Shmaltz proprietor Jeremy Cowan's debut, small business memoir, Craft Beer Bar Mitzvah, when purchased through the Shmaltz Brewing Company webstore.
