Commentary: When Planning Area Beer Festivals, Consider Area Transport Modes

Blue Point’s annual Cask Festival is transit-accessible, but many other area beer festivals are not

Hey, New York-area beer festivals: we need to talk.

There have been several beer festivals I’ve wanted to attend this year that were held within 30 miles of Manhattan. But you wouldn’t know that they were held so close to New York City, which is a city of more than eight million people where more than half the population lacks access to a car and relies on public transit. These particular festivals offered only driving directions to the venue on their event pages or websites, with no mention of transit — usually because their organizers chose venues that were nowhere near any reasonable public transit option. Some even boasted about the amount of free parking at the venue. But I, like literally millions of other people in the New York metro area, do not own a car. And even if I did, I wouldn’t choose to drive it to a beer festival, because that’s pretty damn irresponsible.

It’s kind of stunning that these events don’t offer realistic options for people that might not want to drive to a beer festival (or, more specifically, from a beer festival). And it would be fairly easy for the organizers of these festivals to do something about it. They could offer a ticket that includes charter bus transportation from a nearby commuter rail station — or even partner with a bar or brewery in New York City to run a shuttle (this was done for several years when Shmaltz Brewing would hold their festival at their brewery in Clifton Park, which is nearly three hours north of the city). They could partner with a rideshare company to offer free or discounted rides from their venue (this, of course, would require holding the fest in an area that’s reliably serviced by rideshare companies — something that cannot be said for some of these fests). They could choose venues with public transit access in mind (one upcoming beer festival is one-third of a mile from a commuter railroad station as the crow flies, but the only way to access the venue by foot requires a 40-minute walk on roads with no sidewalks).

Oh, you have a Designated Driver ticket option? Great. Entrusting people who attend a beer festival to designate a driver when no other transportation option exists seems totally safe! There are far too many people who can’t be trusted and should at least be offered another option. And what about people like me, who choose not to own a car? Imagine that conversation with a friend. “Hey, I don’t own a car, but you do. Can you drive me to a beer festival and then hang around a bunch of drunk people for three to four hours and then drive me home?” I’m sure that’ll go over like a lead balloon.

The next beer festival in our city’s suburbs that makes any attempt to address the fact that people would like options to access the festival by something other than private vehicle will immediately get my business. A few have made some effort, but it’s hard to even tell if it was intentional or just happenstance. One festival on Long Island this year made no mention of public transit as an option despite being on a frequent bus line and a 20-minute walk from LIRR. Another upcoming fest says they “strongly encourage rideshare,” but neglects to even mention that the venue is a 10-minute walk from an LIRR station. Ooh, so close!

Organizers of beer festivals shouldn’t just mention transit access — they should promote it as a benefit not just for people who don’t own cars, but for people who simply don’t want to drive to a beer festival (which should, honestly, not even be a thing). Leave the car at home! Be responsible! Don’t drink and drive! That should be the message anywhere, but especially in the New York metro area.

Shmaltz Hop Momma IPA

Our brewers have spent the last few weeks perfecting our premium peachy IPA and we're finally almost able to enjoy this seasonal favorite. Hop Momma IPA is like the fruity sibling to our year-round Hop Manna with flavors of apricot, peach, and habanero. The slight habenero flavor provides a hint of spice and heat, leaving you wanting more after each sip. Hop Momma IPA was previously only found on draft or in our variety packs and we just simply did not have enough Momma for everyone. We constantly got emails asking for the beer to be released on it's own from the day the beer first hit draft lines until now. We decided to listen to what you wanted and we're psyched to share that Hop Momma will be released in 16 oz canned 4-packs and on draft! Hop Momma has a brand new aesthetic but you'll still find the same juicy, fruity IPA with real peach, apricot, and a hint of habanero pepper.

Coney Island Brewing to close Brooklyn brewery and taproom

The brewery of New York’s playland is closing up shop. Coney Island Brewing Company will serve its last beer at its Brooklyn taproom next month, after eight years occupying the space under the third base stands at Maimonides Park, the home of the Brooklyn Cyclones.

It’s the second time Coney Island Brewery has shuttered in the neighborhood. Its previous incarnation, a short-lived “world’s smallest taproom,” operated a few blocks away in 2012, before being damaged in Superstorm Sandy. That iteration eventually moved to Clifton Park, New York with co-owned Shmaltz Brewing Co. before the Coney Island brand was sold to Boston Beer in 2013. Boston Beer, determined to have a presence for the brand in its namesake neighborhood, eventually opened a brewery at then-MCU Park in 2015, expanding it further into an adjoining space in 2019.

The expansion was a gamble just before the pandemic, and while the brewery survived Covid, sources at Boston Beer say there’s no path to profitability for Coney Island in the space moving forward. The brand, however, will live on. The brewery’s core packaged offerings are brewed at Dogfish Head in Milton, Delaware, and will continue to be distributed throughout the New York area.

The final day of business for Coney Island’s taproom will be November 9th.

Shmaltz Hop Momma IPA

You mistakenly asked for it... so we made it. You not-so-mistakenly asked for it again... so we made it in 16 oz. cans!  Hop Momma IPA was previously only found on draft or in our variety packs and we just simply did not have enough Momma for everyone. We constantly got emails asking for the beer to be released on it's own from the day the beer first hit draft lines until now. We decided to listen to what you wanted and we're psyched to share that Hop Momma IPA will be released in 16 oz canned 4-packs and kegs! Hop Momma has a brand new aesthetic but you'll still find the same juicy, fruity IPA brewed with real peach, apricot, and a hint of habanero pepper. We'll be sure to share when Hop Momma will be coming to your neck of the woods so don't fret - we'll keep you in the loop.

More on Hop Momma IPA

I agree, some of our beer names can be a bit unorthodox. From the very first beer festivals & promos I did in 1996 all the way to today, customers have called us all kinds of names: Shmlatz, Schmutz, HeyBro, Guinness or Genesee for Genesis, Jubilee for Jewbelation – you name it we’ve heard it. But the most varied calls from curious, well meaning beer peeps have come for our American IPA, HOP MANNA (already pronounced two ways – it’s ancient He’brew after all). We’ve heard Hop Mantra, Hop Mañana, Hop Monster… But by far the two most popular mistakes are HOP MANIA and HOP MOMMA. After a few years of correcting newcomers and even some experienced fans, we figured we’d just give the people what they thought they wanted. For us, what a perfect excuse for a little mid winter IPA creative action. Fear not, we’re not cheating on our beloved HOP MANNA. We’re just playing around with a little malt, a whole lotta hops and some abvs for some oh so tasty fun to spice things up. So come join our 3-way IPA affair and hope you enjoy HOP MOMMA and HOP MANIA along with our most precious HOP MANNA as much as we do. To Life! L’Chaim!

Shmaltz Brewing Company Celebrates Hanukkah in July

July 20, 2017

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 holiday golden strong ale with 8 malts, 8 hops, 8% ABV and subtle hints of chocolate and vanilla has been aged to perfection in Cabernet Sauvignon barrels for 7 months. The red wine barrel enriches the decadent sweet flavors while adding dry 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.

About the Brewery

Even in those early days 20 years ago when numerous friends and family helped with so many of elements of bringing He’brew Beer into the world, Shmaltz Brewing has always been a collaboration of labor and creativity by so many talented and enthusiastic individuals. That tradition continues more than ever and has expanded beyond anything I ever imagined nearly two decades ago – or even just a few years past!

Shmaltz Brewing has now grown to well over 30 full and part time staff brewing, packaging, designing, administering, marketing and selling our dynamic portfolio of award winning beers. Give us a shout and come by the tasting room and we’ll look forward to having a beer with you soon. L’Chaim!
