America's smallest, biggest and most award-winning Jewish (and now Sideshow Freak) Beer Company, Shmaltz Brewing kicks-off its 13th year of delicious beer and delicious shtick with the second coming of their annual celebration ale, REJEWVENATOR. HE'BREW Beer's latest installment in their sacred fruit infused line-up, Rejewvenator ferments over 400 gallons of Date juice into a half dopplebock, half Belgian style dubbel hybrid lager/ale - a truly unique brewing performance.
Jewish tradition celebrates two New Years: the first in spring traditionally after the barley harvest and the second, the High Holidays in Fall, mark the creation of the world. Harvest to Harvest - the perfect bookends for deliciousness. Rejewvenator 2008 (brewed with Figs) was touted by critics, including All About Beer who highlighted the brew in its "Beer Talk" tasting section and raved, "It's a glorious beer." Oakland Tribune proclaimed, "Don't miss this one!" Rising to 7.8% alc, the newest Rejewvenator will be available nationally in 22 oz. bottles and a very limited amount of draft.
The experimental process of brewing Rejewvenator begins with 5 specialty malts and 5 hop varieties blending European tradition with brazenly innovative American craft beer flavor and attitude. The brewers use Lager yeast to start cold, bottom fermentation then let the beer warm and pitch a hybrid Abbey/Trappist Belgian Ale yeast brought in exclusively for this brew. Finally all natural Date concentrate pressed on the first day of California's 2009 harvest gets infused into the fermenter. Rejewvenator then sits and ages for another month before centerfuge filtration and packaging.
