If you really want to light up someone’s latke party, bring along some Hanukkah cheer in the form of Shmaltz Brewing Company’s Hanukkah releases: Chanukah, Hanukkah…Pass the Beer (Golden Strong Ale with Cocoa Nibs), Jewbelation 21 (Dark American Strong Ale), and Shtick in a Box, a holiday variety 12-pack.

As we celebrate Hanukkah in the days to come, Shmaltz — whose brewery and taproom are located in Clifton Park, New York — is celebrating its 21st birthday. The company has a lot to be proud of, having started out of owner Jeremy Cowen’s San Francisco apartment (he delivered the beer using his grandmother’s Volvo), to operating a brewery with a staff of 30 and over 40 awards under its belt. Shmaltz calls itself “the only Jewish celebration beer company in the country,” and we’re happy to celebrate with them. You can, too, by attending one of its “21 & Over” events around the country.

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning journalism this Passover.
In this age of misinformation, our work is needed like never before. We report on the news that matters most to American Jews, driven by truth, not ideology.
At a time when newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall. That means for the first time in our 126-year history, Forward journalism is free to everyone, everywhere. With an ongoing war, rising antisemitism, and a flood of disinformation that may affect the upcoming election, we believe that free and open access to Jewish journalism is imperative.
Readers like you make it all possible. Right now, we’re in the middle of our Passover Pledge Drive and we still need 300 people to step up and make a gift to sustain our trustworthy, independent journalism.
Make a gift of any size and become a Forward member today. You’ll support our mission to tell the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
