Shmaltz to Release Jewbelation 18

30 Sep 2014 --- It’s become an annual tradition for Shmaltz Brewing Company to release the award-winning limited-edition Jewbelation series at the Great American Beer Festival (GABF) in Denver, CO.

This week, Shmaltz kicks off the national roll out of its Anniversary brew, Jewbelation 18, with three standout Denver beer events featuring the brand spankin’ new category, Black Session Barleywine. Shmaltz will be sampling its newest offering at Booth U4 (Mid Atlantic Region) at GABF. Jewbelation 18 is nationally available in 22 oz bottles, on draft at select bars, and included in the soon to be released 5th Annual He’brew Gift Pack.

Over the last decade, Shmaltz Brewing has boldly elevated each year’s Jewbelation with increased amounts of malts, hops, and ABV — in 2004, they debuted Miraculous Jewbelation with 8 malts, 8 hops, 8% ABV and continued through last year’s Jewbelation Reborn (17 malts, 17 hops, 17% ABV).

Jewbelation 18 is the birth of an entirely new take on the series. When asked about this year’s Jewbelation, Shmaltz founder Jeremy Cowan says, “So many friends have inquired about when will we stop upping the ante with the level of malts, hops, ABV, and my response has been ‘Never… well, um, I mean now!’ Witness our newborn black session barleywine. 18 malts, 18 hops, and now available in a delightfully sessionable 12.4% ABV so we can ship to allll our states again. Jewbelation is now in session. L’Chaim!”

Beer aficionados heading to Denver, don’t miss this special opportunity for the first taste of their latest fermented creation.
