Shmaltz Brewing Celebrates LA Beer Week: Freaktoberfest and Boneyard Bistro Beer Dinner

As LA Beer Week (Oct. 15 – 25) rapidly approaches, Shmaltz Brewing is excited to announce a whole slew of beer events featuring our HE’BREW Beers and Coney Island Craft Lagers™.

We will host the World’s Smallest Coney Island Freaktoberfest™ Boutique Beer Festival at Blue Palms Brew House (w/ a special guest appearance by the Venice Beach Freakshow), a decadent beer pairing dinner at Boneyard Bistro, a special Coney Island Freaktoberfest™ tasting event at The Otheroom in Venice, and will participate in many other LA Beer Week events.

The upcoming Shmaltz events mark the Los Angeles debut of Coney Island Freaktoberfest™. Boiled and toiled in our stainless cauldrons with 6 malts, 6 hops, and 6.66% alc, Shmaltz’s bewitching Fall attraction serves up a tasty treat for Octoberfest through Halloween. LA Beer Week will also celebrate the official California launch of Jewbelation Bar Mitzvah, our newest anniversary ale, brewed with 13 malts, 13 hops, and punching in at 13% alcohol to celebrate our 13th anniversary.
