Thursday, September 3, 2015 — Arise and take possession of a new Halloween treat for craft beer ghouls and goblins roaming the beer isles in search of a scary good black IPA. This Halloween season, behold Shmaltz Brewing’s latest spellbinding limited-edition release: DEATH BLACK IPA®. Overflowing with characteristics of coffee, dark chocolate, and fresh citrus with a mix of pine, the jet black IPA’s deep roasted malt flavors provide support for a bold mix of bright and bitter West Coast hops. Available for the first time on retail shelves as a 4-pack (12 oz. bottles) and on draft at select bars, DEATH BLACK IPA® is brewed with 7 malts, 7 hops, and comes in at 7% ABV. DEATH BLACK IPA® is now nationally available in 35 states through Shmaltz’s extensive distribution network. To find a wholesaler near you, please visit shmaltzbrewing.com/HEBREW/distributors.html

"Dante said it best with, ‘They yearn for what they fear.’ These words could only have been spoken about a black IPA so endearingly cruel looking yet so devilishly aromatic and appealing," said Shmaltz Brewing Company lead brewer, Richie Saunders.

Initially released as a commemorative beer (Death of a Contract Brewer®) to mark Shmaltz Brewing’s transformation from 17 years as a contract brewer to their new life at their very own Upstate New York brewery, DEATH BLACK IPA® is the perfect libation for any ghostly autumn occasion. Whether trick-or-treating, apple bobbing, or carving jack-o’-lanterns, don’t forget to hit up local craft beer havens to experience what might just become the new favorite bewitched creation, DEATH BLACK IPA®. Only available through Halloween, DEATH BLACK IPA® features updated packaging design by Shmaltz’s award-winning Art Director Matt Polacheck.
