I started trying the yearly Jewbelation with the same amount of malts and hops a few years back. I think around # 11. And back then I wondered how they could keep it up but here we are at # 16 and lo and behold, 16 different hops and 16 different malts are back from He’Brew and Schmaltz Brewing. It is no lightweight so sit down and share this one.
Presidential brew
Earlier this year, President Obama had a White House beer crafted by his chef, downed a pint of Guinness in Ireland and had a beer summit and now the New York Public Library is going all the way back to our first (beer loving) president to re-create a beer of his time period.
Here is what the press release has to say…“The New York Public Library has teamed up with Coney Island Brewing Company in Brooklyn to create a beer fit for a Founding Father – a porter based on George Washington’s handwritten “small beer” recipe, which can be found in the Library’s extensive collections.
The two institutions are brewing a very limited amount of “Fortitude’s Founding Father Brew” to toast the 100th birthday of the Library’s landmark Stephen A. Schwarzman Building on 42nd Street.”
Bar Mitzvah beer
You knew this was coming. Schmaltz Brewing has made 12 Chosen beers. Next up is 13 so it will be Jewbelation Bar Mitzvah. Made with 13 malts, 13 hops and an abv of….13. It should be hitting stores this month.
I, personally, skipped the fig beer they made but this one I will try.
