Monday, June 2, 2014 -- There's no better time for a delicious hopped-up variety pack than the long days of summer, and Shmaltz Brewing Company's got all the hopheads covered with the return of the Hops In He'brew Variety Pack®. Now available at retail stores across the country, the He'brew® 12 pack is one of the very few hop-centric variety packs currently on shelves that includes an award-winning Rye Double IPA, Bittersweet Lenny's R.I.P.A.® (10% ABV). IPA's are the most popular single beer style in the American craft beer market right now, and there is little indication that our desire for the bitter end in our brews is abating anytime soon. It's time to celebrate warmer days with your favorite hoppy-He'brews®!
Hops In HE'BREW Variety Pack® (June - August 2014)
Ever wonder How To Say "Hops" In He'brew?! With the release of the Hops In HE'BREW Variety Pack®, Shmaltz Brewing gives a brand new meaning to "adult education." The delicious variety pack is filled with equal parts of Genesis Dry-Hopped Session Ale® (Silver Medal, World Beer Championships), Hop Manna IPA® ("The Best Beers of 2012" byEsquire.com and Gold Medal, World Beer Championships), Bittersweet Lenny's R.I.P.A.® (Gold Medal, World Beer Championships, Rated 99 by the Beer Advocate Bros.) and He'brew's® seasonal hoppy American lager, David's Slingshot Hoppy American Lager® (97 Rating, RateBeer.com). Variety packs are the spice of the craft beer world and the fourth most popular craft beer package in the country. Combine the enthusiasm for variety packs with the fervor over hoppy beers and you have a match made in craft beer heaven. Please note that outside of the Hops In He'brew Variety Pack®, David's Slingshot® will only be available on draft nationally.
Scoring a Hop Victory With David's Slingshot Hoppy American Lager® (June - August 2014)
Once upon a time a young shepherd named David defeated the Goliath American lager market by using his Slingshot to fling a cascade, saaz, summit, citra and crystal hop into a smooth, refreshing, seasonal brew. The result: a victorious, sessionable summer sensation with plenty of hoppy goodness, and a hint of rye on the finish. David's hand-crafted Slingshot will prove a beer-force to be reckoned with at any summer gathering. To honor David and his Slingshot, Shmaltz raises its glass to the little guys who are making a BIG impact in the beer industry at large. Look for He'brew's® only lager on draft, or in 12 ounce bottles as part of the Hops In HE'BREW Variety Pack® this summer.
"It's fascinating how craft beer is surging while big beer companies are trying to catch up by marketing look-alike 'craft' beers," says Jeremy Cowan, Proprietor of Shmaltz Brewing Company. "Craft brewers are now releasing a slew of 5% abv lagers and ales - true session beers - across their entire production in order to storm the shelves and taps held in the past so securely by the largest competitors. These fizzy golden beers perhaps appear similar to the largest mass produced distant relatives - but with a level of craftsmanship, detail, innovation found only in the small batches and risk taking of the family of passionate small business artisans. Our only He'brew® lager, David's Slingshot, is our way of stepping into the action in mainstream settings - with an obvious signature Shmaltz style - our chosen shtick!"
