CHANUKAH IN KENTUCKY...in JULY!
Limited Release, Limited Markets, but Limitless Bourbon-Infused Flavor
in this 8% ABV Dark Ale Brewed with 8 Malts, 8 Hops
and Aged in Heaven Hill and Jim Beam Barrels
Clifton Park, NY -- Thursday, July 21, 2016 -- You may have heard of Christmas in July, a phrase that started in 1933 at a girls camp in North Carolina and was the title of a movie released in 1940. But what about our Hebrew Tribe? Why is there no Chanukah in July? And why should the southern hemisphere get to have all the winter holiday fun in July? Not to worry, Shmaltz Brewing is here for you with its extra special summer 2016 release of Chanukah in Kentucky...in July!
Shmaltz's latest rare and precious Chanukah in Kentucky...in July, a luscious dark ale aged in bourbon barrels, pairs perfectly with summer foods, favorite friends and family, and unique beer-loving palates. The barrel aged beauty is the result of freshly fermented Hanukkah, Chanukah: Pass the Beer® aged in Heaven Hill and Jim Beam bourbon barrels. Eight months and many sensory tastings later, this latest Chosen Beer has developed an array of gifts for the beer lover's taste buds: complex flavors of dark cherry and dates, light coffee roast and bakers chocolate. A confection of toffee, caramel, hints of vanilla and maple all arise with the unmistakable aromas of barrel strength bourbon from the second-use boozy barrels."Chanukah in Kentucky...in July is a delightful experiment that leans on the 8 malts, 8 hops and bourbon-splashed woody oak to impart a rich flavor and medium body," says Richie Saunders, Head Brewer at Shmaltz. "It's a boundary-busting brew created just for our dedicated tribe of summer-loving craft beer freedom fighters."
Chanukah in Kentucky...in July is now available on draft at select chosen beer bars throughout the 35 states within Shmaltz's distribution network. Get it when you see it -- there's no miracles coming to keep the beer flowing once this batch is gone. This month, Shmaltz features Chanukah in Kentucky...in July at launch events occurring in select cities across the country. Please see the list of events below.
