Shmaltz He’Brew Funky Jewbelation, Terrapin Reunion 2012 (A Beer for Hope) & Jewbelation Sweet 16 Release Schedule

Reunion: A Beer for Hope ’12® (July – August 2012)

Teaming up as a brewing partner with Terrapin Beer Company and Alan Shapiro of SBS Imports, Shmaltz will participate for the second year in creating Reunion Ale ’12: A Beer for Hope®. Now in its sixth year of production, Reunion® is brewed annually in memory of Virginia MacLean, a dear friend of Alan Shapiro (founder of SBS Imports) and Pete Slosberg’s (creator of Pete’s Wicked Ale™) and a dedicated cancer research supporter who lost her own battle with Multiple Myeloma in 2007. It was her wish to raise funds and awareness on behalf of the Institute for Myeloma & Bone Cancer Research, and a portion of the proceeds from Reunion Ale ’12® is donated directly to the IMBCR. The Reunion project has raised more than $130,000 for the IMBCR through bottle and draft sales of Reunion®, retailer fundraising events, and private donations.

Jewbelation Sweet 16® (November 2012 – January 2013)

Brewed with 16 malts, 16 hops, and soaring to 16% alc, Jewbelation Sweet 16® marks Shmaltz’s sassiest anniversary ale to date. Since its inception in 2004, Shmaltz’s Jewbelation® series has been touted by critics receiving top accolades including multiple Gold Medals from the World Beer Championships and “5 Stars” from Celebrator Beer News. Imbibe Magazine named Jewbelation 14® one of the "Top 50 Beers in the World." Jewbelation 14® even won “Best Christmas Beer” in a blind holiday tasting from Northern California’s, SF Weekly.
