Shmaltz He’Brew - Death of a Contract Brewer Goes Year-Round

From Shmaltz:

Now brewing exclusively in Clifton Park, NY -- Wednesday, May 7, 2014 -- A commemorative beer 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 OF A CONTRACT BREWER® becomes a year-round offering within Shmaltz's award-winning portfolio. Death of a Contract Brewer® is brewed with 7 Malts (specialty 2-row, munich, wheat, crystal rye, chocolate, pale chocolate, kiln coffee) and 7 Hops (cascade, citra, summit, crystal, amarillo, ahtanum, chinook), and comes in at 7% Alc. Death of a Contract Brewer® is now nationally available across 37 states in 22 oz. bottles and a limited amount of draft at select bars.

"Celebrate our rebirth with Shmaltz's first-ever black IPA, brewed with 7 malts, 7 hops and 7% abv," says Shmaltz Brewmaster Paul McErlean. "Savor this rich, jet black IPA -- overflowing with characteristics of coffee, dark chocolate, and fresh citrus with a mix of pine. Deep roasted malt flavors provide support for a bold mix of bright and bitter West Coast hops. We promise, this is one form of Death you'll want to pour in a glass and shout L'Chaim! (to life!)."

For 17 years, Shmaltz championed contract brewing and developed a dedicated cult following for their award-winning HE'BREW - The Chosen Beers®. Breaking company tradition, Shmaltz opened its own New York State production brewery in May 2013, boasting a 50-barrel brewhouse with 20,000 barrels of annual capacity.
