10 Aug 2015 --- For more than 150 years, one of the most celebrated sporting events in American culture has taken place right in the backyard of Shmaltz Brewing’s Upstate New York brewery at the historic Saratoga Race Course (Saratoga Springs, NY).
Shmaltz Brewing is proud to announce the latest addition to its locals-only (518) Beer Sessions in honor of the oldest racetrack in the United States and the proud tradition that runs each racing season.
An interpretation of the classic Saratoga Race Course cocktail, the Saratoga Sunrise, (518) Summer Session is a refreshing and light bodied Belgian Wit with a fresh and floral aroma. The unfiltered end of summer sipper is brewed with New York State wheat, dosed with sweet orange peel and balanced with a pinch of pomegranate. At a highly sessionable 5.18% ABV, Shmaltz’s glowing gold refresher will quench the thirst of 518 locals and visiting racing fans all season long. (518) Summer Session is now available at local watering holes exclusively within the 518 area code.
Rumored to have originated at the Saratoga Race Course in the 1800s, the Saratoga Sunrise is made with orange juice, vodka and topped with a splash of grenadine. While the Sunrise has a reputation for knocking you off your seat, the (518) Summer Session® is by comparison a smooth ride to the finish. While wide-brimmed hats and racing fans go a long way towards keeping the shvitz at bay, cold craft creations do the job even better. So, keep an eye out for (518) Summer Session all across the Albany/Saratoga Springs region this racing season!
