From Shmaltz:
Friday, November 6, 2015 — In June 2015, Shmaltz Brewing Company collaborated with 10 premier NYS breweries to brew New York’s first official state beer (Statewide Pale Ale). Proving that strength in numbers is a recipe for success, the hardworking brewmasters were able to raise $3,575 to be directly donated to the New York State Brewers Association. On Saturday, November 7, 2015, a check for $3,575 will be presented to Paul Leone (Executive Director, New York State Brewers Association) at The 3rd Annual Craft New York Brewers Festival (Landmark Theatre, Syracuse, NY). The 10 participating breweries include: Shmaltz, Community Beer Works, Empire Brewing, Lake Placid Brewing, Crossroads, CH Evans, Mad Jack Brewing, Browns, Rare Form Brewing and others.
"Statewide Pale Ale is the first fundraising beer ever made for the NYSBA," says Paul Leone, "and we are so happy that Shmaltz took the lead on starting this program. This amazing Pale Ale showcases a unique flavor profile brought together by the collaborative effort of a very talented group of brewers from all over the state."
Jeremy Cowan, founder of Shmaltz Brewing Company, adds, "What a fun day we all had for this first ever NYSBA fundraiser collaboration. Shmaltz has always loved to work with other breweries and this was such a treat — and a great success. Brewing more beer to raise awareness and funds to support the wider growth of the local small businesses — cheers to that!"
In October 2015, Shmaltz announced its collaboration with a new Syracuse, NY distributor, SPIRIT & SANZONE Distributors Co., Inc. The latest addition to Shmaltz’s team of distributors across the country, SPIRIT & SANZONE Distributors Co., Inc., enhances the regional retail presence and draft availability of the award-winning craft beer line: He’brew — The Chosen Beer®. Shmaltz’s distribution growth throughout Upstate New York comes on the heels of opening a new 20,000 square feet brewing facility in Clifton Park, NY. 100+ new Upstate New York bars, restaurants, and off-premise accounts have recently added Shmaltz’s beers to their portfolio, and the brewery has increased its staff to 30 employees (many of which are new employees from the Albany, NY metro area) to oversee its latest capacity expansion from 20K barrels to 35K barrels per year.
Shmaltz Brewing and SPIRIT & SANZONE celebrate their new joint effort at The 3rd Annual Craft New York Brewers Festival (Landmark Theatre, Syracuse, NY, Nov. 7, 2015) and American On Tap (OnCenter Convention Center, Syracuse, NY, Nov. 14, 2015).
