Three Chances To Shmaltz It Up In Cali Tonight
Tonight we’ve got three great opportunities for you to drink Shmaltz beers, spread between San Francisco and SoCal.
NORTHERN CALIFORNIA
Barrel Aged Human Blockhead and Beer Cocktails
Blackbird, 2124 Market St., San Francisco
7:00 – 10:00 PM
No Admission
Shmaltz Brewing is thrilled to announce the third seasonal release of its award-winning Human Blockhead Imperial American bock beer, a rich and malty craft lager aged for over five months in Buffalo Trace Kentucky Bourbon barrels. Weighing in at a burly 10.83% ABV, this complex and luscious double bock emerges from the oak casks smoother and more nuanced, with layers of caramel, maple, vanilla, and a distinct note of bourbon.
To help us celebrate this limited release, we’ve teamed up with Blackbird bar for a night of craft beers and sumptuous cocktails, featuring the barrel-aged Human Blockhead along with Shmaltz’s dry-hopped Mermaid Pilsner and Albino Python spiced white lager (made with crushed fennel seed, orange peel, and ginger), as well as two specialty beer cocktails created specifically for the event.
Blackbird bartender and beer alchemist Matt Grippo will be debuting his “Oaxacan Boardwalk” — made with Vida mezcal, Canton Ginger liqueur, and a float of the Albino Python — along with a second cocktail combining whiskey with a spiced Human Blockhead syrup reduction. In addition, we will be pouring samples of the regular Human Blockhead to aid in comparison with the Barrel Aged Human Blockhead.
