Schmaltz Brewery's He'Brew beer, "conceived in San Francisco and brewed in New York," has now gone to eleven--which means all the way up, they say--with a selection of beers including Genesis Ale (their first creation, natch) and the Messiah Bold (the beer you've all been waiting for); the Jewbelation and the Miraculous Jewbilation -- and of course the Bittersweet (the beer brewed to commemorate Patron Rabbi Lenny Bruce).

If you do nothing else, check out the brewery's Video Schtick.

L'Chaim!  To Life!

I love the concept Peter. Don't fancy my chances of finding a bottle in Christchurch though.
