Shmaltz Brewing Co. HeBrew Jewbelation Twelve

One of, if not the best brew name ever, HeBrew. Yes, this brew is based all around the Jewish tradition and the bottle has some amazing artwork to demonstrate it (and also a very funny paragraph about all things twelve). This American Strong Ale pours quite dark (but not nearly as dark as the imperials) with a short off-white head. Unlike most of the other beers discussed on this site, the head stayed throughout the entire tasting, which is quite nice. It has a nice aroma of sweet malts, candied fruits, and hops. The taste is very unique as well; bitter sweet and hops-filled. The alcohol, all 12% of it, is covered quite nicely from the outrageous amount of hops in this brew, although it does shine through in the end. The HeBrew Jewbelation Twelve is very smooth with a frothy bitter aftertaste. I would recommend to anyone who is not afraid to try something a little strong and unique.

  1. Hey Fonnie! This is Melissa from Shmaltz. Glad you enjoyed Jewbelation 12. We're preparing to release the next edition, Jewbelation 13, in the fall, so stay tuned! In the meantime, we just put out Rejewvenator, which is a dubbel/doppelbock with dates, totally delish. Thanks and take care!
