Hanukkah in July in Napa®

Only 75 1/6 kegs available in the entire country! 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 the Hebrew Tribe? Why is there no Hanukkah in July? And why should the southern hemisphere get to have all the winter holiday fun in July? Not to worry, Shmaltz is here for you with its extra special small-batch 2017 release of Hanukkah in July in Napa®.

Shmaltz’s Silver Medal-winning Hanukkah, Chanukah: Pass the Beer® with 8 malts, 8 hops, 8% ABV and subtle hints of chocolate and vanilla has been aged to perfection in Cabernet Sauvignon barrels for over 8 months. The red wine barrel enriches the decadent cocoa flavors while adding earthy and delicate farmhouse notes, giving the extremely limited beer a crisp and slightly tart finish. This precious small batch release will have your tastebuds spinning from delight for the rest of the summer season.
